“Oh my goodness I have so much to say. I am so blown away by these photos. I feel so grateful for them and for your eye and your gift and how you were/are able to see me. It’s such a gift to feel so seen in my essence. It’s one thing for someone to be able to see the lines or angles that look good but you are able to capture so much more than that. These are my favorite photos that I’ve had taken of me- really. Thank youuuu. 🙏💕” KATIE SEREIKA - ACTRESS, MODEL, YOGI
"Autumn is the real deal. She's an incredible human being and has a wonderful ability to connect with you as a person. Her headshots have gotten me into so many offices and audition rooms. As a non-union actor working throughout a pandemic, it was her ability to capture my very essence that's gotten me so many opportunities. Did I mention she's incredible? She's not just your photographer, but also your collaborator and friend."-KATYA COLLAZO - ACTRESS, MODEL, BEAUTIFUL SOUL
This is my second time working with Autumn. She has an amazing eye and the fantastic ability to really draw out your personality regardless if you are a frequent photo subject or brand new. She was amazingly flexible and found fun ways to engage our entire family in the shoot which resulted in fabulous photos that we will cherish for years to come! -NOVA CADAMATRE - FIRST FEMALE WINEMAKER TO ACHIEVE MASTER OF WINE IN THE US - ENTREPRENEUR + TOTAL BADASS
"I'm not a "headshot" type of person but Autumn made it feel like the most natural, effortless experience. (I'm the type that gets REAL weird as soon as a camera is in front of me). I ended up with like 100 shots that were the best photos ever taken of me. If anyone needs headshots, she's your girl." EDEN CONNELLY TALLARICO - FOUNDER OF NEW MONEY SOCIAL CLUB, HOLISTIC CHEF + EDUCATOR, EARTH MAMA, HEALTH & LIFE COACH
I typically get really nervous in front of the camera when I’m not smiling and I was worried about taking more vulnerable pictures for new music I’d recorded, but Autumn was so fun and collaborative, helped me relax into the emotion of the shoot, and kept experimenting with different options til we got the perfect shots. She also makes amazing, eye-catching edits. I’ve worked with her twice now and cannot say enough incredible things. Whatever vision you have for a shoot, even if it’s out of your comfort zone, Autumn will bring it to life!

Autumn is a magnificently talented photographer. She has a unique eye that spots that magic bit of sunlight, that “just right” hair placement, that perfect tilt of the face. As an actress and model, she works in front of the camera herself, which gives her unparalleled insight when she’s working behind it. She also makes shooting FUN! You need someone to make you feel comfortable and at ease, and that’s Autumn. Seriously, I had such an amazing experience and now have so many incredible shots! Thank you Autumn! -KATE MARGALITE - ACTRESS, SINGER, TALL-STUNNING-BRILLIANT HUMAN + MODEL

My pictures came out better than I could have ever imagined - I have never been so excited to hand out a headshot. She is obviously very skilled with the camera, but she brings so much more than technical experience. Working with Autumn is an artistic collaboration rather than a business exchange. She knows how to capture your best and most natural self by catering to your vision while making you feel comfortable and confident. Needless to say, she is a rare talent and joy to work with. Autumn, thank you thank you thank you for the most wonderful session." - SARAH RICH -ACTRESS, TOTALLY RAD HUMAN

I was obsessed with my headshots, and there was such a wide range of type and emotion. To say it was hard to choose my favorites would be an understatement. Other than her photography skills, Autumn is a truly kind person, and a joy to work with! She goes above and beyond to make her clients comfortable and happy. It was very chilly the day of our shoot, and in between wardrobe changes she made me hot tea and even helped me curl my hair! I couldn't have asked for a better headshot experience. Thank you Autumn for your amazing work, and for being so awesome!” - AMANDA RODRIGUEZ - ACTRESS EXTRAORDINAIRE

When I switched up my look from a high top haircut to a buzz cut, I needed new headshots and through research I came across Autumn. She definitely knows her stuff. Each background complimented the shot, and she knows how to bring the pictures to life. I love my headshots, got three retouched and I’ll be retouching more. It was a great shoot with lots of options. When you’re auditioning back to back that’s how you know you got some good material so a big thank you to Autumn! Would definitely recommend her. -ROGER YAWSON -ACTOR
