Helping Actors Show Up Fully—On Camera and in the Industry

Atlanta’s Headshot Photographer for Actors Who Want to Be Seen

Hi! I'm Tara, the photographer behind The Actor Headshot.

I create cinematic, story-driven headshots that align with your casting and personal brand—so you can show up with clarity and confidence.

With a background in performance and years working with actors, I bring a director’s eye and a collaborator’s heart to every session. My goal? Headshots that showcase your range and make people look twice.

Fact 4


My background in Healthcare and the hospitality industry have given me a passion for service and client experience.

Meet Craig!

Craig, our lighting assistant, has been working with photography since the days of 35mm film and has continued to enjoy creating lighting setups for digital cameras as well.

His Engineering background helps with many of the technical and structural aspects of setups for the shoot, while the artistic flair comes from his decade plus of working in film, television, and theatre.

As an actor, he’s able to help Tara as she guides clients to connect to the different versions of themselves and emote honestly.
