Headshot Mini Sessions in LA for December 2014!!

The west coast is wonderful!  The weather, oh the weather.  I escaped right before the cold settled on the East Coast as I had a few jobs on the west coast.  Those few jobs have turned into some more and I found myself, very happily, canceling my flight home.

Yeah, LA!  & I’m excited to announce a special that I’ll be running a Headshot Mini session all month.  I had the pleasure of updating the actor Don Boughton’s, headshot (bottom right) and the comedy writer CeCe Pleasants (purple sweater) publicity shots.  We had a blast and rocked out four changes for CeCe and over five for Don in under 45 minutes.

If you need new pictures, I’ll be in LA for a few weeks and would love to create some images that rock for you.  Send an email to info@CovingtonImagery.com

Afterwards I got a lovely email from Don that said;
“Had a great time this morning. Best photo session I’ve had, no exaggeration.”

and CeCe posted online saying;
“Hey LA friends! Yesterday, my good friend Ashly Covington, who I’ve known for more years than I can mention if I am going to keep up the charade that I’m about to turn 31… came over to our house to do a headshot session with the wonderful Don Boughton. I don’t act much anymore, but occasionally somebody asks me to do some acting or standup or something, and they want a picture of me. The one from 10 years ago, though lovely, isn’t really an accurate representation of what I look like now. So I decided to piggyback on Don’s headshot session and have Ashly shoot me too. (You might have seen some of our glorious wedding/engagement photos… those are also her handiwork.) I HATE having my picture taken, and I really don’t like pictures of myself… that is, unless Ashly takes them. Ashly is a sort of magician with a camera, which is not at all to take away from the fact that she is a RIDICULOUSLY TALENTED PHOTOGRAPHER… and the best part is, she can take 15 awesome photos in under 15 minutes. So that thing I’d been putting off for years ONLY TOOK 15 MINUTES! It’s like ripping off a band aid, only with zero pain and really beautiful pictures afterward.”

<3 what you do!

Transformation Tuesday in LA | Headshot Photography

Yesterday I had the joy of photographing a LA actor named Don Boughton.  I knew it was going to be a great session as he was referred to me by CeCe Pleasants Adams, a comedy writer in LA.  I am pretty sure she only knows hysterical and awesome people, so I knew it would be a pleasure.  I always like to see the prior headshot and hear what they love about it and what they would want to improve as well as hearing what types of roles are being sought.  Don sent along his and let me know that while he liked it, it was just sadly out of date, and that he was going for a friendly, welcoming shot that could get auditions for grandfathers or retired gentlemen.
It can sometimes be hard to find the time to update shots, I KNOW THIS, I currently need a new headshot.  Mine is so out of date, so I understand the pain involved with trying to set up the whole process to get it done.  That is why I set up my mini sessions – They are fun and fast!  We could have finished Don & CeCe’s session in half the time (CeCe decided to get some updated shots as well since we were shooting around her home in Glendale!) but we were laughing and chatting too much.

I’ll be in LA all month, so if anyone is dragging their heels (like I am) to get an updated headshot, hit me up – I promise you’ll have a great time and get too many images.  As I was leaving CeCe said “The worst thing about your photography is that I can’t possibly choose just two"
