For actors, dancers, performers, creators, and teens.
Rising Talent
Creative portrait, headshot, and portfolio experiences for teen and young adult actors, dancers, performers, and creators throughout Ventura County and Los Angeles.
Rising Talent is for kids and teens who want more than a traditional photo session.
Some are updating headshots for auditions and submissions. Some are dancers building a stronger portfolio. Some are creating content, stepping into senior year, or simply looking for a space to explore who they are becoming.
There is no one kind of Rising Talent kid.
The goal is to create images that feel confident, current, and genuinely like them.
WAYS TO CREATE WITH THE RISING TALENT COLLECTIVE
The Experience
We start with who they are.
Before we plan the photographs, I want to know what they love, what they are working toward, what they feel confident in, and what they want this experience to become.
From there, we build the session around them.
They will have direction.
No one needs to arrive knowing how to pose.
I guide movement, expressions, angles, and all of the little details while still leaving room for personality to come through naturally.
We create variety.
Depending on the session, we may work through different looks, locations, expressions, movement, and styling so the final gallery feels useful as well as beautiful.
And it does not have to end with one session.
Rising Talent is designed to grow with kids and teens as their interests, goals, and creative lives change.
The Inner Circle
The Inner Circle is where Rising Talent continues beyond the camera.
It is an invite based creative community for young people who want to keep creating, trying new things, and taking part in additional opportunities throughout the year.
Inner Circle members may receive access to:
Creative model calls
Styled and seasonal shoots
Collaborative content days
Group creative projects
Senior events and experiences
Early access to future opportunities
Not every opportunity will be right for every person, and that is part of what makes it fun.
The Inner Circle gives young creatives a place to stay connected and be considered when something feels like a great fit.

New to the industry? Start here.
Starting out can feel confusing.
Headshots, agents, submissions, resumes, casting sites, auditions, and next steps can quickly become a lot to sort through.
I spent years working in the entertainment industry and created an Insider Prep Guide to help families understand the basics and feel more prepared as they begin.
For families looking for more individualized support, mentorships are also available.
