I had the pleasure of working with Doug for a teen actor headshot session, and I couldn't be more impressed. Doug made the entire process smooth, efficient and pleasant from start to finish. He was patient throughout the session, providing clear direction and guiding every step of the way. His helpful advice extended from posing and expression of photo session to acting hobby/career. Highly recommend Doug to anyone looking for an experienced and knowledgeable photographer!

I had a fabulous experience with Doug and have no reservations at all in recommending him. I know what makes for a good PHOTOGRAPH but not necessarily what makes for a good HEAD SHOT. Doug keeps himself maximally informed on industry trends, and what actors need from their photographs to rapidly convey relevant information to casting directors. He set me at ease, guided the session wonderfully, and I'm thrilled with the resulting photos. No one can guarantee that their photos will book gigs, but with Doug's head shots in my arsenal there is one thing that I feel confident in saying: if I don't book gigs, I'll know it wasn't because there was a problem with my photos. Thanks so much, Doug!

From the moment we walked in, Doug was so warm and engaging, making both my children feel comfortable and excited. The session was fun and lighthearted, with lots of playful moments that really captured their personalities.

The photos turned out beautifully—each one perfectly showcasing their energy and smiles. The creativity and patience Doug brought to the shoot made all the difference, and we felt like we were in such good hands. Thank you for making the experience so special and for the gorgeous photos!

Working with Doug was an absolute blast! These were my first professional acting headshots, and Doug exceeded all expectations. In our first call, he took the time to get to know my goals for the shoot. I was at ease the whole time in the studio, and his professionalism and years of experience was clear throughout. He captured incredible headshots. If you are looking for a photographer who knows the industry inside and out, I highly recommend Doug!

Just recently had Doug shoot new headshots for our daughter. Worked with Doug on a previous set, and when it came time for new ones, it was an easy decision to work with Doug again…. Fantastic experience and fantastic finished product. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I just recently had my second photo shoot with Doug and it felt so good to work with him again since 2016. He listens to your vision and collaborates with you to bring your vision to life through his lenses.

Doug is one of the kindest human beings who brings a safe space for you to be who you are and who you are becoming. His skills, talents and charming personality makes it a fun experience as you’re creating art together.

Definitely consider Doug to be your next photographer!

Wonderful experience with our son's photo shoot. Douglas is such a fun, professional, and kind person. It was amazing to have a professional photographer take the time for our aspiring teen's headshots. We will absolutely return to Douglas as our son continues to mature.
