Behind the Scenes: Actor Headshots for Film Actress Carol McPhearson
If you're looking for fresh, professional actor headshots that reflect where you are in your career, Carol McPhearson’s recent session is a perfect example of how everything can align from wardrobe, lighting, makeup, and mindset.
A Session Designed for a Career Evolution
Carol is a seasoned film actress known for her strength and vulnerability. You know, the kind of depth that makes her a natural fit for Law & Order–style roles. She came to our session ready to update her look to match her current place in the industry: grounded, self-assured, and ready for her next chapter.
Our shoot took place at Art's Sake Studio in Orlando, a space I love for its ability for give you that "New York private acting studio" vibe and versatility. The goal was to capture Carol’s range in a way that felt both elevated and authentic. I can safely say that from the very first frame, we were in sync.
A High-Production Feel with a Relaxed Vibe
From the moment Carol arrived, the session felt more like a creative collaboration than a traditional photoshoot. She brought along makeup artist Stacy, whose warmth and professionalism added so much to the experience. Hair, makeup, and wardrobe came together effortlessly, giving the shoot a high-production editorial feel while still staying true to Carol’s personality.
There’s something powerful that happens when an actor feels seen and supported in front of the camera. Carol brought her full self to the session — confident, expressive, and completely present. Those moments translated into images that are not only casting-ready, but that truly reflect who she is as an artist right now.
