Our Fans

Adam and Sylvia were the first people my daughter and I met after traveling from Oklahoma to L.A. for pilot season. I cannot say enough nice things about this couple. We felt so comfortable and at ease with them. Watching Adam work and seeing my daughter’s images captured in still form was truly a work of art. I also don’t want to leave out Violeta, the make-up artist. My 12 year old looked like a beautiful 12 year old. The make-up and hair was very natural and flattering. Sylvia did a great job picking out wardrobe, she chose the perfect colors and textures. And most importantly my daughter had a blast. I would highly recommend the Hendershotts for your next photo session.”

“I put off getting my headshots for a LONG time because I wanted to find the right photographers and I’m so thankful that I did. Working with Adam and Sylvia was so much fun and entirely stress free. The whole shoot felt like an afternoon with my closest friends and the photos turned out amazing! Between the two of them they can somehow bring out every aspect of your personality. Book with them now. You’ll be so so so glad you did!”

Not only that, but the shots came out great and have been getting me some big auditions. I’ve sent two of my friends over to them and will be sure to shoot with them again in the future!”

“We all hope for the romance, passions and timelessness of true love, never knowing when we will find it, if ever. At 40 years old, I found it and Adam and Sylvia captured it’s in all its raw essence! Their collaborative creative talents and eye for simple beauty gave me a gallery of simple, elegant and passionate pictures that I will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you Hendershotts, your abilities transcend through, past and far beyond the lens!”

“Working with the Hendershotts is like hanging out with old friends. From start to finish I felt completely at ease, and it shows in my pictures! Sylvia and Adam put thought into every aspect of your shoot, from setting you up with their wonderful makeup artist to picking out your clothes so you look just right- you really feel like a valued client. My very favorite thing about shooting with them is the fact that you look at the images as your shooting. There is nothing worse than getting a CD in the mail and being completely shocked at the results. You are in complete control when you shoot with them- no surprises! I would recommend the Hendershotts to anyone!!!”

“You’ll have headshots that capture your essence and get you in the door after working with the Hendershotts. I started getting several auditions and ultimately booking jobs with them. The shots turn out amazing, but stay truthful to who you are. They are so easy and fun to work with, making you comfortable which shows in the photos. I will continue to work with them as I continually update my headshots!”

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Lamm

Our friends Chris and Elise (fellow SC kids!) wanted to do a photoshoot for their Save-the-Dates, and of course in pure Hendershott style, we ended up doing a Mr. & Mrs. Smith concept (remember the scandalous Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie movie?), complete with guns, romance and mystery. Needless to say, that day was such a blast!

We always get such a kick out of seeing how photos from our shoots end up being used, and we are SO STOKED to share what they did with theirs. Here’s their AWESOME, completely exclusive, Mr. & Mrs. Lamm Save-the-Date DVD:

Dare we say, best Save-the-Dates, EVER!?

Introducing Scout Smith

Late last year, a talented and gorgeous 18-year-old singer-songwriter named Scout Smith was struggling to find a photographer to shoot publicity photos for the new EP she was in the middle of recording. When her scheduled photoshoot fell through once again, a friend of hers pointed her in our direction and we were able to jump in and save the day! Our photoshoot was a total blast- Scout is so down to earth, fun and absolutely has “It”.

Originally from Anchorage, AK, Scout is now in Los Angeles promoting her new EP. Coming off of her 2011 Alaskan concert tour, 2012 is all about playing shows here in LA. Be sure to keep an eye out for her- Scout’s Official Facebook Page and ReverbNation feature her latest news and appearances.

 

Watch her perform her original song, Mr. Come Again (be sure to watch just after 1 minute, she’s so good!)

Nikki Boyer from Daytime in No Time on Yahoo!

Our photoshoot with Nikki Boyer, the host of Daytime in No Time on Yahoo!, was one of the most fun, zany shoots we’ve had in a while. First of all, this chick is super cool, and within about 5 minutes of meeting, we were all joking around and having a great time.

Daytime in No Time is Yahoo!’s daily bite-sized video blog in which Nikki recaps the previous day’s tv highlights, while putting her own spin on it of course. (Watch her in action on Good Day LA)

Nikki initially approached us because needed new publicity photos that made her look good, but also captured her sexy, fun personality and spunky sense of humor. “Go crazy!” she said. (Famous last words….?)

It started innocently enough, with a cameo appearance by our dog Sophie above, and then devolved into various scenarios that involved a sparse stache, a super grungy red bike, and a tiny but menacing Darth Vader. Rumor has it that there are some photos featuring a life-sized grape suit and an oversized pencil, but you’ll have to convince Nikki to show them to you herself :)
