This is Jennifer Boarini.  Jennifer is an awesome, fun and and pretty girl.

Her previous attempts to market herself as such didn’t work out so well.  Her old photos were stiff, over the top and didn’t make her look very good.  So when Jennifer came in her goals were headshots that were much more casual, subtle and made her look as attractive as she does in person.

The subtlety of this photo is what makes it work.  For Jennifer to come off as attractive she doesn’t have to be wearing a bikini.  To show her as a college student she doesn’t have to be holding books or wearing a UCLA sweater.  Instead she’s wearing a shirt that could be a college shirt, or a sports team or just something she picked up at Old Navy.

The biggest reason Jennifer comes off as young, pretty and fun in this headshot is that she’s relaxed and having fun in this photo.  This is an important skill for having a photo taken as well as being an actor.  When Jennifer is relaxed (unlike in many of her older photos) she shows her true personality.
