PORTFOLIO

Actor headshot of Wayne Wilderson photographed by Bonni Allen, Twin Cities photographer.

As an actor and performer in the Twin Cities for more than 20 years, I have personal experience with attending my own professional headshot sessions. I know how stressful it can feel, wanting to ensure you have an authentic headshot that captures your personality. I provide a calm and relaxed environment both in studio and on location to make your headshot session easy and fun.

Up-and-comers bring such excitement to my lens. Ask about a mini-session for your growing and changing kids and teens. It is both a personal and cost-effective way to obtain child actor or child model headshots that won't break the bank as you update them every couple of years. I love highlighting each person's essence in a natural, realistic way.

Senior Portrait sessions bring me such joy. Each person is unique and has unique feelings about being the subject of a photo session. I cater to you. We can take our time, be playful, and create as we go. Or, maybe you prefer to get it done quickly without much fuss. I have such fun working with grads, going with the flow, and creating a comfortable environment for everyone involved.

Let's celebrate YOU! Personal portraits are one of my favorite types of photography because there are no rules. We will work together to capture exactly what you want to feature, giving you personal images you will be proud to showcase and display. Whether in studio or on location, I will collaborate with you to meet your personal portrait needs, goals, and expectations.

Your online presence is often the first contact with potential employers, employees, clients, etc. I will collaborate with you to capture your unique personality, whether an individual professional headshot or your business and/or team.
