Adam is awesome. I used his services for headshots in 2016 and recently now In 2018. Scheduling is easy and he was pretty flexible finding times. I did a location shoot near my home outdoors and added a few with my dog. His prices are reasonable and he'll take a lot of shots, next, you'll pick your favorites and he'll touch them up. He sent me the shots later on the same day. Really, the shots that aren't touched up are just as good and can be used by you as well. Adam is professional and makes you feel comfortable during your session. He also shows up early if not on time! Reliable responsive and professional He will have my business again next year read more

Best MI Portraits - Session Photography Near Me

I cannot recommend Adam strongly enough! Based on other 5 star reviews (thanks, yelpers) I chose him to get the first professional headshots of my teen daughters. He was kind, engaging, and got everything we needed and more -very difficult to choose only a couple when all were stunning - in such a short time. My girls had so much fun that I think they wished it would have taken more time. His friendly, beautiful, senior dog, Cubby, was a nice fringe benefit and his prices can't be beat! read more

Best MI Portraits - Adam's work. My 15 year old daughter. - Session Photography Near Me

See all

Adam Emperor Southard is the one. He makes photo sessions not only pain-free but, dare I say, enjoyable. The result is a whole bunch of engaged, authentic shots. I really enjoy his "Dress Like a Woman" female empowerment series. And I got to participate in his "Hero Worship" series where he recreated an iconic photo of one of my biggest heroes, Patti Smith! Oh and those rates?? So cheap it feels like highway robbery. If that's not the best, I don't know what is. read more

I can never seem to say enough great things about Adam! I met him through a friend back in 2013 taking part in his Hero Worship series which I thankfully got to join in on. Since then I've been able to participate in 2 of his other photo projects as well as been a Headshot customer of his about 4 times over. He's always friendly, professional, and ready to shoot when I show up. I know I'm going to get what I want when I use his services and that's a priceless commodity in this town. He uses quality equipment and is speedy on the turnover with your shots. Do yourself a favor and give him a call. read more

Adam is FANTASTIC and so reasonably priced, I honestly can't say enough. I am one of those who HATES doing photo shoots. On one hand I'm uber self-conscious and on the other hand a little bit vein, so I feel like I'm not easy to shoot (ya think?). I often feel like most photographers have no idea how to get a good angle of me and don't think with a critical eye (like, "would she want all THREE chins to show? Probably not, let's try to just get two." DUH!). Not the case with Adam. I purchased just one look and ended up with at least two dozen shots to choose from (out of 100 or so). That's NEVER happened! He was so nice and chill and made me feel comfortable, too. I even had a couple friends who are agents and casting director compliment his work when I showed them. I am really happy with the results and will be going back for a couple more looks soon. He's the guy, y'all. Book him! read more

My family and I have used Adam on several occasions over the years and I can say with confidence that he is an outstanding and very professional photographer.

Additionally I have recommended him for other events including weddings and special fundraising events. So easy to work with. Adam is awesome!!! read more

Have used Adam several times for all manner of events and shots and been more than happy each and every time.

Adam is a true champion. He worked to fit me into his schedule last minute and made the entire experience a blast. I used to be nervous getting some headshots but the friendly, relaxed atmosphere Adam provides made it easy to get some high quality natural and truthful shots. He was creative, helpful and just a pleasure to work with. Plus, he got me my photos back to look at in a matter of hours. What's that loud noise you hear outside your window? That's me singing his praises for the rest of time. Thanks, Adam! read more

I discovered this fellow on Thumbtack.com and was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of work, professionalism, and value. Adam listens and executes accordingly. A genuine guy. Very expedient on the retouches as well. Keep on truckin' man. read more

Adam was my very first photographer when I moved here five years ago. I've had many looks & he has been able to capture the essence in every shoot. I'm pretty positive I booked a 7 Eleven commercial solely based off my head shot, courtesy of Adam. He's very professional and quick and makes me feel very comfortable in front of the lens. I sometimes feel as if I'm cheating on him when I use other photographers LOL. If you want to get in the audition room & book, I'd highly suggest Best LA Headshots, you won't be disappointed! read more

What a great experience I had going with Best LA headshots! From booking the appointment to selecting my touchups the entire process was fast, painless, and fun. Adam is a great guy who is willing to work with his clients to make sure everything is convenient for them. He is very personable and makes you feel comfortable on camera. I will also say his prices blow a lot of other photographers out of the water, and you really do get such a great deal here. I would definitely do business again with Adam, he works for a fair price, quickly, and is just a stand-up person. read more

I had headshots done and then he did photos of my 91 year old mother, she looks great. It was a wonderful session.

Adam is fantastic! First of all, he is friendly and fun to work with, so the shoot is enjoyable. He makes magic - I love, love, love his lighting -- and he really brings out individual quirks. It was important to me to get something that looks like me, and Adam definitely delivered. Highly recommend him! read more
