Industry-Standard Headshots That Open Doors
Casting directors spend seconds looking at a headshot before deciding whether to call you in for an audition. That’s why your headshot needs to be more than just a good picture—it needs to sell your talent, your versatility, and your ability to step into any role.
I work with actors at all stages of their careers, from aspiring performers to seasoned professionals, to create natural, industry-standard headshots that help you get noticed and booked.

“I really enjoyed my session with Sarah. From the moment I reached out to her she was receptive and open to answering my questions, and she provided information on how to prepare for my session. She is very professional and walked me through every step of the session from the moment I walked into her studio. I am very awkward and do not like taking photos, but Sarah made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera. At the completion of the session, we went through and picked out my favorites and she helped me narrow them down. Charita T.
Sarah was absolutely lovely to work with! She’s very responsive, personable and really knows how to make the process stress-free, light and fun! She’s also extremely professional. Her studio is perfectly set up, and she was very accommodating to my needs and helped me finalize my wardrobe selection too. Overall, she made the final photo selection process a breeze. That was such a great bonus! Ashely K
Sarah conducted a professional, efficient, and excellent professional photography session. I’m so happy with the results and love my professional executive headshots! Highly recommended for phenomenal results! Give her a call! You won’t be disappointed. Jason N
I recently had headshots taken by Sarah Wilson at her home studio in Cary, NC, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The studio was clean, well-organized, and offered the privacy I was looking for. Sarah was not only professional and efficient but also very friendly and had a great sense of humor, which made the session enjoyable. I made a 2+ hour trip from Charlotte based on a recommendation, and it was absolutely worth it. She completed the work in a timely manner, and her fees were competitive. Highly recommend! Nick R
