Lisa Keating Headshots

Lisa is incredibly comfortable to work with, and so understanding! I have not had my photos professionally taken in a really long time, and this is my first time getting my headshots done. Her studio is very relaxed, and I was able to settle in quickly. I would absolutely recommend her :)

Lisa has taken my headshots twice now and the experience is like no other. I am at ease from the moment I walk in and despite how nervous I get about what to do with my eyes, mouth and everything else, she always makes me feel so comfortable. The last time she did my shots, they were so good. I was scared this time (6 years later) that there was no way they could be better. And .yes they were just as great. She shoots with natural light and she is all about bringing the best me to the surface. I had so much fun today. I wish I could do it again tomorrow. Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of booking a session with Lisa and was completely amazed by how many wonderful pictures she was able to take of me. Each picture truly caught my essence & she was incredible to work with! Her makeup artist Jessie was sincerely a gem as well & all in all I’m more than satisfied with the looks. Thanks with Gratitude to you both!

Your headshot is your calling card. If you’re new to the industry and have a great headshot, it’s going to open doors.
For the session, your job is to show up on time with a variety of wardrobe choices. If Lisa does ALL the work, you’re going to get some REALLY good pictures.
If you show up on time with the above mentioned wardrobe AND you stay engaged and present, you’re going to get PHENOMENAL shots.
I’ve worked with Lisa 5 times now. She is my «go to» for a terrific headshot.

I went to Lisa on recommendation from another software engineer friend who is running a side business– we both went for her corporate/​PR package and she listened perfectly and helped us find what we needed to look like in order to present ourselves professionally and come across as competent and confident. She put me at ease immediately and the session flew by, and even though it barely felt like work for me I walked out with some incredible shots that will help me grow my business. Thanks Lisa!
PS Also she has the cutest dog. The dog can teach you how to pose if you are nervous. He can do serious face and happy face :)

Amazing talent and energy! My shots got me my first agent in Los Angeles and I’m currently auditioning and being called backed for national commercials! Thank you Lisa for your work :)

My daughter recently went to Lisa for her first professional headshots, and everything about our experience has been perfect. Lisa is warm and engaging in the studio and kept everything relaxed, upbeat and professional at the same time. The photos are just stunning and both fees and delivery time were very reasonable. Highly recommended! (Shout-​outs, too, to her wonderful makeup artist, whose name I blush to have forgotten, and Happy the Studio Dog!)

This was my first official headshot session. Lisa has great grounding and nurturing energy, which makes anyone feel like they’re in good hands. On top of that, she produced quality photos that seem to make me look better than in real life! I would recommend her to anyone looking to invest in quality headshots.
I can’t wait to shoot with her again!

I want to say how pleased I am with my experience working with Lisa and her team. From beginning to end, I felt so comfortable and confident. The photos are beautiful and the experience was so amazing!

Lisa is an artist with her camera. My headshots are the best I have ever seen. I will recommend my actor friends. I do not take good pictures, Lisa made me feel at ease and comfortable. I know that I will get work with these photos.

Amazing! An absolute delight to work with!

Of all the things I do to promote my acting career — aside from honing my skills and working my craft — getting my headshots done by Lisa Keating is one of the most important. Her understanding of the various aspects of the business, combined with her artistic sensibility, makes her the best in the San Francisco Bay Area. Plus she is just a very nice person. I always have a good time in her studio. And her rates are very reasonable.

Simply the best! When a friend and I were searching for the best photographers in the Bay Area to get head shots from, Lisa Keating was the first to show on Google. I’m an upcoming actor and as competitive it is in the world of acting, if you get a head shot from Lisa then you are already a step ahead of the game. She is a HUGE reason why I am represented by an agency. She makes you feel comfortable and relaxed which shows in your shots and it’s absolutely brilliant.
I only brought a few outfits to wear and I didn’t know how it was going to work but she goes through it and helps you find what looks best. I really can’t see myself getting shots from anyone else after having Lisa. She’s worth every penny! This is real art, and I appreciate everything. Simply the best.

lisa is the BEST! she’s warm, friendly, creative, talented and discerning.
i’m an actor/​model and needed to update my headshots.
lisa has your best interest in mind as she creatively changes backgrounds/​angle of camera, etc.
she loves what she’s doing and she makes it so much fun. i had a wonderful time… which went by so fast! and i now have to make the difficult decision of choosing only one photo for my main headshot.
but i want a minimum of 30 of them!
well, back to the photos. have my work cut out for me.

Lisa is the best head shot photographer hands down!
I am an actor/​model and have been working in the bay area for the past 4 years. As soon as I moved here I wanted the best, so I did my research and found Lisa Keating through countless industry referrals and online reviews.
I saved up the money and went for it!
Lisa is engaging and great to work with. There was a make-​up stylist on site so I didn’t have to worry about «looking my best». The entire process was just… fun!
I brought a bunch of clothes and we went through them together picking out what would be the best to capture based on the character I was portraying and the style of the shoot.
Her knowledge of photography is really impressive and she works incredibly well with natural light AND studio lighting for those rainy days! She makes all of her own backgrounds, so they are all unique and creative. Lisa is an artist!
I digress… :)
Shortly after my new head shots came out, I started direct booking jobs and going out on bigger castings like national commercials, which I booked for Priceline, Lexus, Cal Tourism, etc.
I have no interest or desire to use anybody else for my head shots. Lisa is great and I am so thankful for all of our shoots over the years.

I’m in the modeling business and Lisa Keating provides the best headshoots ever! She’s super professional and very efficient. My session with her is only 1.5 hours and within that time she didn’t waste a minute. I took several combination of images (hair up and down, several wardrobe changes and probably created 500 images). She really know how to work with natural light and angles to create the best agency quality images. Thanks to Lisa Keating’s images, it landed me gigs like Reebok, Saucony, Tiffany&co and several beauty magazine covers.
Thank you Lisa for your amazing images!
