Hey girl,
Just wanted to let you know that since you did my new pics and they've been on LA casting, I've been going out like crrazzzyyy! :) Thanks again! Hope you're doing good, Silvia

Hey Molly just wanted to let you know, mailed out pics Monday, got a Call Tuesday, had an agent by Wednesday morning. You sure did something right! Once again, the response has been more than I could have hoped for, I have one of the best agents in town thanks to your headshots. Thank you,
Bart

I know you said something about keeping you posted on our success with them? I booked a spokesperson gig based off the unedited headshot alone, I didn't even have to audition. lol! Speak soon!

I love the headshots! They're so much better than the ones I had, they're practically incomparable. And usually taking pictures is a stressful experience for me. With you, it was downright cathartic. Plus I learned so much about you. I can't believe I got headshots and a new girlfriend in the same two hour span! What a day.

Thanks so much,
I'll let you know if they get me a spot on Two and a Half Men.

hey molly. i'm absolutely BONKERS about those pix you took of daniel and i! just making sure you're touching up that sweet sweet 1930 pic. i'm obsessed with this picture. i'm obsessed with you. Matthew Scott

Hi Molly, The photos are awesome! I am sitting here laughing and smiling because you can tell that it was a fun shoot. Well I had fun! They look fantastic, thank you again. Best, Anne

Hi Molly,
I'm so impressed with my pictures. Thanks so much! Everyone I've shown them too has really liked them and said that I have so many to choose from. You did a great job and made my first time really easy and fun. I even have a few friends that want to go with you now after seeing my pictures. Celeste

Hey, Molly! I'm loving the headshots!! Thanks so much again, I'm referring you to all my friends :) Keep rockin' at life,
Em

Molly, You were right....there are some really good shots! I'm very pleased with the results. I sent them to my agent for feedback on choices. I really like the bad guy with red shirt/jacket. Thanks again for your support during the shoot and making it fun. I'll be in touch after you return from your trip. Have fun with the family! Tim

(from Hollywood Happy Hour) All I know is that I hate taking headshots, don't most of us?, and I have been taking them since I was 17, a long time ago. I hate figuring out what to do with my hair, how many changes of hair styles and oh most of all what to wear. A lot of the panic goes back to the days of film where you would shoot a whole session, pay for a makeup artist, get your eyebrows waxes, your nails done, buy or borrow clothes and one little hair would be running down your nose or in your eye and there was alas no photo shop to fix it or even worse the shots looked great under a magnifying glass or those little things you fit around your eye and you would look and look over and over until you had a round rim around your eye. and then you blew them up and often you looked stiff and miserable or the lightng was awful. So thank god for Molly and digital photography. It felt less like a photo shoot and more like friends taking pictures. You know those wonderful shots you take with your friends or even while onstage or set and you wish you could blow them up into headshots. So with Molly you are having a conversation about oh, food, movies, things of the day. After the shoot, she will go through the hundreds of shots and take out the nastly ones, the "ugly" ones and simply leave you with the best. I asked her to even take out the mediocre ones or the maybes I trust her that much and wanted less rather than more. Her prices are more than fair. So go look at her web page and then go see her and her photos and decide for yourself. I am sure there are amazing photographers in this group, and I have shot with one who for me at the time was terrific, but for me. now, Molly IS the best. www.hawkeyphotos.com

Hey Molly, Just got done sending the photos to my manager. I love too many
of them! So its gonna be kinda hard to narrow them down but I MUST!! -Thanks

Erica

hi Molly, I love my new headshots! They rock harder than a 16 year old at prom. Thanks Molly! I've been telling everyone about the pics and hopefully sending you over more peeps. I also put your flyers up. Lloyd p.s. - I love the one with me in front of the orange background. It shows the chicago on my shirt, so i think it's gotta be one of the fixes

Hi Molly,
I've been meaning to email you for days. I absolutely LOVE the photos! You are a miracle worker...because I was definitely not looking that good in person that day! I have so many that I like, but have narrowed it down to 3 and can see using them for different purposes.
Thanks again Molly!!!
XO

HEY! So i just went through the pics for the first time. AWESOME! There is a lot of strong stuff to go through. I am also glad that there is stuff that i thought didn't work as it helps me focus on what it is i want to go for. Doesn't help me though cause there is A LOT i like.
Thanks again!

I got my CD yesterday and there are SOOO many pictures!! Thanks again, so much - this was the first time I've had headshots taken that I actually felt confident that something good would come out of them!
Thanks again!!

I just wanted to let you know that I LOVE my headshots. I can honestly say that they are the best I have ever gotten. Thank you so much! I will be referring you to anyone that needs new shots. Again, you are AWESOME!!! Mike

Hello dear! I know I've mentioned it, but thank you again - I love my pictures and so do all my agents. We're getting excited for episodic season...
I was sending friends your way before we even had a session together!

Session 1: Hi Molly! Hope all is great with you! Every casting director (about 5 or so) that I've done workshops with have all liked my pic's! :) Thanks again! Jackie told me that both her favorite headshots ever and her boyfriend's favorite headshots ever were with you! Rock on, Jill Session 2: I'm having the hardest time picking photos! You've given me so many great shots that I'm just struggling! Thanks again! Jill

Thanks Molly! My headshot came out wonderfully! I really appreciate working with you, it was a great experience. I would have sent you a thank you card via the mail but I know how much you appreciate being green. Thanks for the info regarding the class, I'll totally check it out. You might want to check these out: Idealbite.com- green newsletter; Ecoproducts.com; Noimpactman.com- or google. Cheers, Ashley

You f*&%in rock. I can't believe you made me look so good! I am so impressed and so happy, and my make-up looks so pretty!! Thank you so much girl. You are so talented. I can't wait to show Shana and Mike at BBA. Hope you had a good show tonight. :) Xoxo Janell

My agents have FINALLY picked their favs from my shoot with you. They loved all the pics, like for the first time they reaaaaaaally love my pics. So there you go, congratulations, you are successful. ha! Tell your mom, you made it.

Call u soon! Good luck tonight, when in doubt just say "clown rape" it always makes people laugh.

Jillian

Molly,
I LOVE my photos!! I brought some of my favorites to my acting class last night and everyone raved about them. (They all wanted your info, too!)
THANK YOU so much for taking photos that actually look like me, and where my smile doesn't look like I swallowed an alien... You're awesome.
Peace,
Lauren

Hey lady! I love these pictures! I'm very tired of looking at myself - but I love these pics. I feel like these are the first pictures that show my personality - so, thank you! You rock, lady! :-)
Renee

Molly-

Your shots got me a commercial agent - sounds like one of those blurbs, but it's true. She complimented your work highly. You are awesome.

Thanks again!

See you around the IO.

Best,
Scott

YO MOLLY! i LOVE LOVE LOVED my shots. You did an awesome job, I look like me, or a very well photographed version of me. My fam and friends also raved and thought i looked great. THANK YOU SO MUCH for my shots. You have an amazing natural energy that made the shoot comfortable and easy. You are the cats pajamas!
Recycle!

Cool deal, you're photo worked wonders by the way. My first audition with my new agent, I booked it! THanks so much! I'll be using you again soon!

Albert

Unbelievable! We LOVE them! Thank you so much for your time and effort! They look so fun and we spent so much time laughing and commenting on which ones we like the best! Mike made the joke that some of the pictures at the Disney theater look like a music video!

Thank you so much for everything! They are fabulous! You are truly talented!

Eva's 1st e-mail: Molly! You totally rock! The pictures you took of the boy (little Andy) on Friday are amazing. Normally I get maybe 20%, but I am going to have a hard time picking a headshot out of these because there are so many awesome shots. Great composition. Awesome interaction with him. Yup! I want you to shoot me now! Let me know when you have time. Eva's 2nd e-mail: Just got the pictures from my shoot with Molly Hawkey. She can't take a bad picture, and believe me, it's NOT the subject! I rarely like my pics, and I have so many good pics out of this shoot, I'm going to have a hard time picking my favorites. Eva's 3rd e-mail: I have had an explosion in work since Easter weekend. I thought about what this might be due to, and the only thing I've done differently is the pics I have posted on casting websites... ok... and a lot of praying. Most of you know Molly shot me and my son. BOTH of us are getting out for auditions several times a week now, with the same agents we've always had, who used to get us out a couple of times a MONTH. I am now working in LA as much as I am in TX. I honestly believe it's all because of the right pictures. Molly captured Andy's and my personality, and we look real in the photos. THAT'S what makes them different from other pics that all have the same "style." Honestly... if you're thinking about getting new pics or if your pics just aren't working for you GIVE MOLLY A CALL! I know this reads like an infomercial, but I wouldn't be writing to everybody if 1) I didn't really believe Molly's pics are responsible for the increase in my work, 2) I didn't like to share good info with my fellow actors. Hugs to all of you! Eva

Just taking my first looks and these are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God Bless You for these, they are great, EXACTLY what I wanted. I'm so happy, and you should be really proud. If you want to use any of the pics for your site, please, please do cause they ROCK!! Talk soon, Fiona

Molly was just terrific. It's the first time in my life that I have so many good pictures of myself. I was nervous and uptight and she knew exactly how to relax me. Thank you Dominique

i thank you a bunch these are my best photos out of the 4 sessions I've ever had!!!! -kyle

I love the pix, moll. Honestly, I think they are the best shots I've ever had. I'm not even kidding. They're at my agent's right now. Love . . . Jackie

I did get the photos and i love them, the ones i will end up using are amoungst some of the nicest photos i have seen of myself, you have quite the talent, so we will be working together more, i had fun and the engergy was great.

"Molly was a jewel! And being such she knows how to find the diamond from the rough!" - Elizabeth Molly, I've gotten so much positive feedback about your pictures. My acting teacher and my life coach loved them. Everyone asks me where I got them done. Elizabeth

I LOVE my new pics. It was soo hard to narrow them down because there were so many to choose from. Go check out my website and you'll see them! www.angelmacdonald.net Best of all possibilties, Angel

I got the photos and took them to cosco to make prints and have been sorting through them and emailing them to my agents for the past several hours. i love them, i think we got so many good things that i did not have before, they are very fresh and natural. They seem so real. I love the no-make-up ones, you really captured some great moments straight from a crime show. I hope my agents love them and can decide quickly, I narrowed it down to 30!! jodi

Hi Molls... Thank you thank you THANK YOU. You did a FABULOUS job, I love you. XO Molly

Hey,

Just wanted to let you know that we got the photos today...then we huddled around our computer for a half-hour (or so) looking at the shots...and I must tell you a story.

About a year ago a local Seattle theater organization had a "Headshot Day," where local photographers would see a large number of people (in hour-long slots) for headshots in their studios. It was all for the bargain price of $100 per session. I'd not had new headshots for, about six years or so, and I decided that this'd be a good, cheap way for me to get an update.

So I showed up, and this woman did me up all pretty, threw a little make-up on my face, and proceeded to take some shots of me...without giving me any instructions. Just basically asking, "So, what do you want now?" repeatedly throughout the session.

The pictures came back, and it was essentially 75 shots of me crinkling my eyes, squinting, furrowing my brow, and smiling uncomfortably at an elevated camera. Also, she'd shot me with a white background, which had the effect of making my teeth look brown. And I wore a black polo, which had the effect of making me look in my late thirties.

So, as I was sitting, clicking through my $100 worth of headshots, beads of sweat started to form on my forehead. "There's got to be one. Just one that I can use," I remember thinking. Just as panic was starting to set in, I found a single shot I was sitting on a stool...not smiling. "Good enough," I thought.

Now, flash forward a year...and I have the opposite problem -- there are too many good shots to choose from. I found about 5 "perfect" shots just on my first look...about 20 shots into the disk. Amazing. And Erika's was the same. Plus, we have some great shots of a squirrel, in case we ever go out for an animated feature...about squirrels... :)

Anyhow, we're going to commiserate about these pictures, and we'll get back to you with our choices. Now, just so we're clear, how many of these shots are to be retouched? Is it 2 per person? Or is Erika getting one more, because she's got an additional look?

Thanks,
