JD Headshots and Photography

I didnt want to write this review as i felt bad. but after EIGHT (8) UNRETURNED CALLS (purchased their services via GROUPON) my patience is gone completely. Do not fall into their trap of nice headshot photos on their website. They’d take your Groupon order and will not perform.
Now I’m wasting my time chasing Groupon to get a refund.

I have already recommended this guy to friends. I booked a Groupon and then asked to pay a little extra to add a look. He was happy to oblige and I got several usable shots. My new agent is happy with them and I am getting auditions and booking work with them. A friend who paid $ 600 for hers was envious.
Notes:
The address on Groupon is not where they shoot. Confirm the address with him directly.
He shoots on the street, so any wardrobe changes should keep that in mind.
I would pay to have a hair/​makeup person onhand (you will have to book this yourself). There were shots that I loved that I couldn’t use because of hair issues. If you are a woman whose hair is lower maintenance, just book an appointment at Sephora before, have them do your makeup (you will have to buy a $ 50 giftcard, which you can use on anything). But still bring a friend to make sure you are looking good in every shot, make sure you don’t have smudges, etc.
Not sure if he doesn’t any retouching. I had my own retouching done for makeup smudges.
For the amount I paid for these, to have usable, pro-​looking theatrical and commercial headshots was fantastic.

Wow, I must say that I was taken aback by how rude this guy was to me. I guess this was my introduction to That side of Hollywood– I hear it’s very common.
Purchased a Groupon for a 1 hour headshot session, instead got 15 minutes of practically blaming me for the fact that his Groupon is still running and he didn’t even know, poorly covered threats that MY attitude should change cause you never know who you’re working with (I googled him later– almost no results lol), oh — and a bunch of poor pictures shot in a street with people walking past me. And mind you I didn’t say a word of complaint to him.
Oh yeah, and then he was texting me for the rest of the night apologizing and offering to reshoot.
No thanks, I want to forget people like you exist.

Had a wonderful experience shooting my sons photos with this company. It’s hard to find a photographer who can work well and get great shots out of a child. I will definitely shoot with them again. Great quality and an excellent artistic approach taken. Definitely recommend them !

Great great great! In a world of skeezy headshot photographers who are all tryin to rob you just to hand over a run of the mill photo, these guys know their stuff and know how to give you a headshot that is unique and will help you stand out! HIGHLY recommend!
