I am Laura Flannery, and I specialize in high-end headshots, portraits and fashion photography for actors, models, and other entertainers.
As an actress myself, I get the pressure of needing that perfect headshot. It’s the first thing casting directors, producers, and potential reps see — and it can make all the difference. That’s why I’ve built a studio experience that’s smooth, supportive, and yes... actually fun!
With my background in the industry and a degree in fashion design, I know how to pose, style, and light you in ways that bring out your best. My goal? To help you show up with confidence so your headshots work for you — and let you focus on booking the next big thing.
FAQ
Where do your headshot sessions take place?
All sessions take place at Laura Flannery’s Studio in downtown Covington, LA. The exact address will be provided upon booking. The studio offers both natural light and a controlled studio lighting setup — which still feels soft and natural on camera.
What does a “look” consist of?
A “look” is defined as one change in wardrobe, hair, or makeup — or any combination of the three.
What is your availability?
Sessions are typically booked 1–2 weeks in advance through the online booking calendar (see the Book Session tab).

Our artists ask that you arrive with a clean, moisturized face and dry hair, ready for your first look. They'll fine-tune your appearance and adjust as needed between looks.
