FELT LIKE A STAR!! ⭐️ It’s been a while since I got my headshots done, and with wanting to get back into it. I was really excited but very anxious/ nervous. Once I stepped into the location my anxiety went out the window. Lisa and her pup Star were so welcoming from the start! Along with her makeup artist Cora, who made me feel so confident with the way my makeup turned out. The whole shoot was such a great balance of fun, comforting and professionalism! Throughout the shoot she showed me how they were turning out and they are amazing! Such a great time!
This was truly one of the best experiences I have had on a photo shoot. It isn’t everyday you get a photographer who is so skillful, professional and welcoming. Ms. Lisa manages to capture several different stories within each shot. I felt so seen and respected during the shoot that the chemistry seen in the photographs are a product of the chemistry I had with Lisa. My managers loved them and so did the rest of my loved ones. I would recommend her to everyone. Don’t miss the opportunity to get great headshot from this phenomenal pro.
It was my first ever acting headshots, and Lisa was super friendly and welcoming! Her and her makeup artist were so warm and fun to work with that it made this experience so memorable and enjoyable. She knew how to make me comfortable in front of the camera so easily, and she was so helpful picking out the outfits. Not to mention I love her dog, Star! I have my sister with me, and she was welcoming with her and made sure she was comfortable during the shoot. My overall experience with Lisa was fantastic, and I'll definitely go back to her again if I need more headshots in the future! :)
Stepping back into the world of acting and getting new headshots felt exciting, but also incredibly nerve-wracking. From the very beginning, Lisa made the entire experience feel safe, grounded, and genuinely special. She is not only an exceptionally talented artist, but a calm, loving presence who truly took the time to understand my story and my personality on a deeper, almost spiritual level. The experience started the day before the shoot, when Lisa called to walk me through the process and check in on logistics. What I appreciated most, though, was that she took a moment to simply connect - sharing about her recent travels and creating space for real conversation. It instantly put me at ease. She also sent an incredibly detailed guide with parking instructions, clothing recommendations, and so many thoughtful details that made me feel completely prepared. On the day of the shoot, Lisa met me upon arrival with clear directions, led me to secure parking, and even helped carry my clothes in. I then met her wonderful makeup artist, Arabella, whose energy was just as warm and positive. Together, we went through my wardrobe and selected three looks that perfectly aligned with the style I was going for. Lisa even steamed the clothes to make sure everything was flawless before I sat down for makeup - which felt relaxed, fun, and collaborative. When it came time to shoot, it was immediately clear that Lisa is a true professional. Her direction was thoughtful and precise - small tweaks and adjustments that made a huge difference in the final shots. I never once felt rushed or uncomfortable. Instead, I felt fully seen and like I was the most important client in the room, which speaks volumes about Lisa’s character and her genuine care for people. And as an added bonus, spending time with Star - her sweet, intuitive dog - was truly the icing on the cake. He checked in on me throughout the shoot and added an extra layer of comfort and joy to an already incredible experience. Highly recommend Lisa Keating Photography to anyone wanting their personality captured in fun and authentic way!
Such an amazing headshot experience from top to bottom. Lisa is not only such a professional with very clear experience, but she is genuinely so creative and passionate about getting the shot that feels right. The environment she creates is one that’s warm, comfortable, and truly brought out the best in the looks we ended up with. Can’t recommend her enough!
