I was referred to Bill and Kathy by my agency, and these are by far the best photographers I’ve worked with since being in LA. They are super cool people with great personalities. They put many hours of work into the photos to make sure they were the highest quality possible, I couldn’t have asked for more. Kathy knows exactly what to do with the lighting, angle and clothing, to bring out the best shots.

We were initially referred here by our Talent Manager and today is the 5th time we’ve used BCS. Of course, Bill and Kathy are great to work with, but the reason we come all the way over here is because the resulting head shots are simply fantastic. They will work tirelessly for hours putting together multiple looks using both your own clothes and items from their extensive wardrobe. They also take care of hair and makeup. In the end you will receive dozens of amazing pics, and you won’t know which ones to use, because all the pics are so good!

Kathy and Bill are the most accommodating and professional headshot photographers I have ever worked with. Their extensive knowledge of the industry provided us with incredible options and various looks that showed off dramatic range. The photos turned out great! Our agents immediately fell in love with the finished products! Great deal, highly recommend!!!

These headshots are amazing! Bill and Kathy are incredibly nice people. They genuinely care about what they do and how the pictures turn out– Kathy spent hours with me making sure I got all the shots I could possibly need. Their assistant Gabe is great too, this is the place to go if you want a great shooting experience and great shots. (Plus they’ve got a really awesome cat!)

Cathy and Bill really know what they are doing! They are such nice people. I would say hands down my best experience taking corporate head shots ever!

We recently had our business team — five of us in all — shot by Kathy and Bill. They are simply the best. They were able to shoot all of us with headshots, team shots, working in outfit changes to reflect our different needs for corporate, professional, and softer/​friendly images.
Kathy and Bill knew just where to place us in the natural light to get amazing photographs. Kathy did hair and makeup for each of us and we looked natural and lovely. Working with five people requires a special skill, which they both have. Bill also helped with the corporate branding aspect for our company and helped with the types of images we should be capturing.
So, if you want to look fabulous in photographs go to Kathy and Bill. If you want to spend the day with wonderful people go to Kathy and Bill. I just cannot rave enough about how terrific our experience was working with them.

I had my head shots taken with Bill and Kathy a few days ago and had a wonderful experience! I was extremely impressed with their balance of being both professional and personable. They had a full consultation a couple of weeks before the shoot day to get to know me and discuss exactly what I was looking for in my pictures. They are extremely patient and listen to everything you have to say (ie. your goals, types of roles you can play, etc.) and take that into consideration.
On the day of the shoot, Kathy made positive that my hair and makeup looked flawless and that I looked like the best version of myself. She is such an expert and makes sure every shot is one worth keeping. Bill is so fun and makes sure you are comfortable and having fun during the process.
I am so happy with my results! Highly recommend Ballerini Cooley if you want awesome photos for an extremely reasonable price. Thank you Bill and Kathy!

I used Bill and Kathy for a photo shoot and had an outstanding experience. I have used photographers in the past, and it seemed like something always went wrong. With BCS, everything went perfectly. I would also mention the shoot was late in the day, and I am sure Bill and Kathy were tired but you could never tell. They made the experience very enjoyable and productive. I use my photos primarily for business promotion and have got my money’s worth X 10 probably. Thanks Bill and Kathy!
