    I needed to renew my passport and I thought that if I have to look at it for another decade, I…read moreshould like my photo! I decided to find a proper photography studio that specialized in passports. There was no one else in the studio that day, and I just walked in. The photographer had me sit against the white backdrop and posed me. I asked whether I had to move my hair behind my shoulders or out of my face for a passport photo, and he laughed and said he didn't know. After he took 4 pictures, we sat down at the computer to look at them. I hated all of them. The colors were flat and unflattering, and my lips were slightly parted so he colored my teeth in as opposed to retaking the shot. When he asked which photo I liked, I told him "none of them, really" and suggested taking another. He laughed and said no. I paid $30 for awful photos, and they didn't seem to know anything about passport photo regulations. Really disappointed that I came here. If I were a passport photographer and I didn't have any other clients waiting, I would take as many photos I had to until the client was happy! It's a digital camera and the rest can just be deleted! I ended up going to a mailbox store and paying $17 for a much better photo. Maybe this studio is good for family photos or other sessions, but not passports.

    Very cute studio, it's been there over 30 years!…read more We walked in with the goal of taking passport photos. Mr. Lim was knowledgeable and kind while taking our photos. I'm very impressed and satisfied with the quality. He even edited out my pimples, calling them temporary blemishes. We were quoted $30 per person for four 2x2 passport photos. I needed a digital file for mine and it was $20 more. I was more than happy to support small businesses especially ones that provide such high quality service. Thank you Mr. Lim! I hope more people are able to support him before he decides to retire.

    Okay- here's the dirt…read more If you go look at their Instagram and website, it's hard to tell who they've shot recently. That's on purpose. They've had a bunch of their former clients become headshot photographers who copy them. So Theo and Juliet intentionally DON'T share their newest work. Also, they undersell themselves. You have noooo idea how good they are at THE WHOLE THING. I paid the upgrade to have Juliet pick out my clothing. I want her to style my whole life. I bought a few of the pieces, even one I didn't shoot in. She's so good. Theo and Juliet are HILARIOUS. They're so good at putting you at ease. So much so that I'm like, are they tired after this? Because I didn't have to worry about a THING. They're watching for your errant hairs, your errant boobage, and you can trust they're never going to get your face from a bad angle. (Because they'll call each other out and fix the angle and backdrop and lighting until it's perfect - and you're laughing as they do it.) My makeup was so good I didn't want to wash my face at the end of the day. Seriously the best headshot experience ever. I've shot probably ten headshot photographers (as a tween and in my 20's) and this was the best experience I've ever had. You leave your shoot with them feeling like everything is possible. (It is, but it's easy to forget, you know?) Don't bother comparison shopping or being a weirdo like me who was like "I'll lose ten pounds but shoot with someone else in the meantime." Don't do that. Just shoot with them. They'll make you look like you're ten pounds smaller anyway. And they'll nail your looks and vibe. It's just so good! They're worth every penny. Do it do it do it. Amen. Also- funny story, we hadn't originally booked with them. See above in regards to being a weirdo. My husband is also an actor and shot with them 20 years ago. But we'd booked with another "big name" with a name that sounds kinda like a race car driver... We lived in Phoenix at the time so we booked an Airbnb in LA, jumped through the hoops to get the PCR c test (their requirement), arrived in town and sent the test. ...And they somehow hadn't booked the slot. We'd even sent the deposit. They didn't take responsibility. It was super weird. So I told my husband to email Juliet, which he did. She called back super quickly AND squeezed him in. We cancelled my shots with the original person and rescheduled me with Theo and Juliet, too. Theo and Juliet are hilarious, they legitimately care, and they only shoot one person per day so you get a FULL experience. Okay this REALLY concludes my review.

    Theo is, without question, the best headshot photographer in the business, and Juliet is the…read morecreative force who elevates every session far beyond what any photographer could accomplish alone. Their lighting, backdrops, equipment, and overall photographic artistry are unmatched. This is why they've been the top choice for celebrities, major agents, and the most in-the-know managers for over 25 years. They have more experience than anyone, and their understanding of how to capture the characters you play is impossible to replicate. When it comes to angles, variety, and knowing exactly how to make every setup work for your type, Theo has it nailed. He has this incredibly calming presence that makes the whole session feel easy and grounded. Juliet's advice on wardrobe is crucial and often the key to creating the most successful headshots, helping you capture your essence in a versatile, realistic way that will get you out. And her makeup artistry is so natural and truly brings out the best in you in the most effortless way. She also offers personal shopping packages where she'll go out and find the perfect wardrobe pieces for your session at a very reasonable price. I am not related to them in any way, and I don't get anything for posting this. I'm sharing it because it feels like the right thing to do for the right people and to help other actors. You will definitely get more than enough amazing shots, but you will also get an experience and industry advice that is truly priceless.
