Acting is the perfect tool to coax even the shyest person out of their shell, and for some it can be a fulfilling career
I am an Orange County Headshot Photographer and Acting Coach specializing in Kids and Young Adults. I spend my days working with actors on Self-Tapes, coaching them to ensure they deliver their best performance; teaching actors the industry, and taking headshots that capture my clients personalities. I work with actors in Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Diego, as well as all over the country via Zoom.
I am so glad you found me. A few quick things about myself: 1. I'm married to my high school sweetheart who is also my business partner and a professional videographer. 2. I have an identical twin sister. 3. My passion is acting, teaching and family! 4. I learned about the acting business the hard way. My mom spent a ton of money on gimmicky acting/modeling courses with empty promises, and my goal is to prevent other moms from making the same mistake.
After my second child was born, my husband and I decided to leave Los Angeles and move back to Orange County where we were born and raised. With a love of the entertainment industry we couldn’t leave it behind entirely; so we teamed up combining my 20 years experience as an actress and acting coach, and my husband’s skills as a creative videographer to help young actors take a shot at their Hollywood dreams. Together we help kids navigate through the daunting task of taking head shots, demo reels, and of course how to become a working actor. Some of my students have appeared in shows and films such as S.W.A.T.,Animal Kingdom, CSI, Bunked, This is Us, Sharp Objects, Teachers, Alex and Me, Bizaardvark, I Am The Night, Roswell, General Hospital, West World Doc McStuffins, We Bare Bears and various commercials along with the National Tour of School of Rock and Love Never Dies.
"Success is No Accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all love of what you are doing."

"My acting coach/teacher, Danielle Vernengo, has worked with me for almost 4 years now teaching me amazing skills in making me a better actress. She’s been available morning, noon, and night to me in person, through Zoom, and on the phone. She wants me to win as much as my parents and I want me to win, and I’m so thankful for her." - Sydney Lake-Bradley

Great option for kids missing teeth or just needing a couple more headshots!
Have more than one child in the acting business! I know that can get expensive, so I've created a Sibling Discount.
