About

I have 16 years of experience as a professional portrait photographer including ten years in Los Angeles where I specialized in actor headshots and business portraits. Now that I'm located in Haslett near East Lansing, I take all sorts of portraits including senior and graduation photos. If you are in need of a local photographer with a studio or who can travel to your location, reach out and let's discuss options.

Very enjoyable photoshoot. Adam is very nice and helpful with any questions you have. Gave me tips on what has worked for others before and took really nice photos. I'm not very photogenic and he got some good pictures in there. Also, I was able to get the link very quickly since I needed the photos the same week. If I ever need new ones, I will definitely be going back to Best LA Headshots.

I've taken my head shots with Best LA Headshots several times now. I've been thrilled with my results every time! Adam makes the photo session quick and fun. His style is very unique and the quality is just spectacular. He really knows how to bring the best of you through his vision and the shots that will get you booking in no time! I always refer him to my friends or anyone looking for an amazing photographer.
