Acting Headshots

Modeling Headshots | Beauty Pageant Headshots

Our talent is making you "unforgettable."

Are you ready to be unforgettable?

... Because this could be the difference between being celebrated and fading into obscurity.

First impressions are often made online or on paper, and your acting headshots, modeling photography, and pageant headshots are the first thing casting directors, agents, and judges see. If you're not getting auditions, look to your headshots.

So let's ensure your image portfolio captivates, so that you get that opportunity to make a second impression... because wouldn't it be a crying shame if the world never got to experience the unforgettable you?

At Irene Abdou Photography, we don't believe in 'unphotogenic'.

Every individual has their own distinct charm and allure, and it's our mission to identify, document, and celebrate it, setting the stage for YOU to get called in for auditions or casting calls!

With our personalized and supportive approach, along with expert styling and posing guidance, we turn self-doubt into confidence and vulnerability into genuine authenticity.

We're dedicated to crafting acting headshots, modeling photography, and beauty pageant headshots that genuinely reflect your true essence and highlight your finest qualities, leaving you feeling empowered, and leaving casting directors, agents, judges, and audiences with an enduring and unforgettable impression.

So close your eyes and imagine... each photograph meticulously designed to unveil a distinct aspect of your essence - your warmth, confidence, and the stories that have shaped you.

Whether acting headshots, modeling photography, or pageant headshots, these pictures instantly let the people in power know that you're the person they must meet.

The pictures unlock future interviews and auditiions, paving the way to opportunities you never dreamed existed. So? Are you ready to seize the moment and script your own pathway to destiny?

"She was extremely knowledgeable about lighting, background colors and preferred poses required by the modeling agencies."

"It was a sincere pleasure working with Irene. She really put our daughter at ease while shooting and it made the photos that much better! The most difficult part was selecting the best photos! :) Would highly recommend her!"

Acting/Pageant Headshot or Modeling Photography Session

We like to keep our photography sessions fun and relaxed. Whether outdoors or indoors, we'll guide you into poses and moments to help you look your very best in all your pictures.

Also, think about any other photography needs you may have. Do you have other professional pursuits for which you've outgrown your professional headshots? Are you online dating? Dating profile pictures go hand-in-hand with acting headshots, modeling photography, and beauty pageant headshots, and we can easily dedicate a part of your professional photography session to other needs. Has it been years since your last family portrait experience? We can schedule a follow-up session for family portraits or other photography too!

Image Selection

This is the hardest part, but oh what excitement! You'll ooh and aah as your headshots or modeling photography are revealed, and you'll pick your very favorite images to walk away with!

Meet Irene

When I first embarked on my journey as a professional photographer, I was driven by my passion for the art of photography and the joy of being behind the camera. I even left a previous career to pursue this dream because I knew in my heart that it was my true calling. And over the years, I've discovered my superpower: transforming "unphotogenic" into "unforgettable"!

Having photographed countless men, women, and children, I've realized how common it is to feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, even for those aspiring to successful modeling and performing arts careers. It’s natural to feel self-conscious. I understand that inner voice creating doubts about looking your best, causing you to delay booking a professional photography session.

But consider this: what opportunities have passed you by as you wait for that perfect moment?

The acting, modeling, and beauty pageant worlds are just like all the other worlds in that time doesn’t stand still. Embrace your unique self now, instead of waiting for an ideal that may never come.

Besides, with my expertise and personalized approach, I believe I can capture not just your true essence, but make you look absolutely stunning—truly unforgettable!

Everyone deserves to feel great about how they look, and I’ve dedicated countless hours to perfecting the art of headshot and modeling photography. Together, let’s create acting headshots, modeling photography, or pageant headshots that you will love and that will get you in the door of those auditions and casting calls.

I pursued my dream to be a professional photographer so I could help you achieve your dreams too.
