"Laria & James are fantastic. We worked with them at a recent fundraiser and their photos are truly amazing. Besides their talent for truly outstanding photos, they are also some of the easiest photographers to work with. I definitely recommend them and City of Angels Headshots!" - Johnathan R (Owner of ActorRated) 3/8/2012
"I purchased 4 looks for professional head shots. Laria had a clear picture of how I wanted to be perceived/presented. The pictures came out gorgeously. During the photo shoot, Laria made me feel very comfortable and helped me with poses. The whole process felt effortless." - Vivian F. 04/3/13
"Laria is amazing! I have taken several headshots over the years and this session was by far my favorite. She called me about a week before my shoot and gave me great suggestions for wardrobe for the looks I was going for. On the day of the shoot she made me feel comfortable instantly. There is a little changing area and a mirror with fabulous lighting if makeup is being done, or in need of a touchup. I really love my photos!!! If you are looking for a great headshot photographer, look no further." Regina H. 04/02/13
"I went to City of Angels Headshots to get some up-dated photos for my new website. I went because the reviews were good and I didn't know where else to go. Laria and I spoke on the phone prior to my shoot date and when I finally met her, it felt very comfortable - as if I had known her for a long time. Her studio is absolutely fantastic and I felt at home immediately. She was patient, warm, caring and very generous with her time. I even had a few shots taken with her cat, Rothko. The shoot itself was just a little over an hour; but it felt like all the time in the world was being given to me; I never felt rush. She was really quick emailing the proofs to me and as soon as I selected my 2 shots, the work was done in no time. I am so happy with her work and would recommend her to anyone. As far as I'm concerned, if you live in LA, you don't need to look any farther for a photographer. She's the real deal. Thank you, Laria!" - Jennifer H. 01/23/2013

"I knew from the second I walked into the studio that Laria was a pro. Her down to earth warmth and humor - combined with a true sense of style, made for a very welcoming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The photos she took turned out beautifully as the result of her keen eye for composition, lighting, and color. Never intimidating - always creative - I wholeheartedly recommend City of Angels Headshots -- and sincerely feel you'll be happy with the results!" - Maggie A. 12/02/2012

They both have skilled backrounds in Art and Photography and they study with only the best. head shots with them rival Peter Hurley and they are a lot less $, I love them." - Jeffrey P. 3/9/2012
"This is a great headshot company. I did a photo shoot with Laria and James about 1 year ago and I love the photos I got. They really capture the individual, they have a knack for catching an actors essence. Something that is so valueable to me when I am choosing a headshot for submissions. I like that they are really artistic, which makes for a creative fun session, and a stand out photo. I will definitely be using them again in the future." - All G 3/9/2012

"I have never felt more relaxed in a photo shoot. Normally I dislike having my photo taken because I feel self conscious and uncomfortable. I didn't feel any bit of this while working with Laria. She made me feel good about myself, and the environment helped me to feel at home. Also, Laria and James were able to choose, touch up and re touch the photo to my liking, and have it ready for the web within a day and a half. I was delighted with the process and am very happy with the final product. Thank you Laria and James." - Deanna C. 8/5/2011

Thanks for the great journey!" - Alan C. 7/24/2011
"Laria Saunders is an excellent photographer and artist and so is James Duffy. Both of them have made some of the most amazing dance shots and headshots for me.

“Laria did the graphic design for my latest CD, "Intergeneration". Her work included the cover (one of her extraordinary abstract photos), in studio sessions of three different photos of my band, and all the text. She did this for a very competitive price and I would happily hire her again. Highly recommended!” - Theo S. 10/24/2011
"Great experience! I have to admit, I have been an acquaintance and friend to this great team and this was the first time we had a business/creative session. And, I was impressed with their amazing photography. I felt comfortable and captured (in photo). We created some incredible shots that I love the look of. One of the companies I am an ambassador for (Sonia Picard Jewelry) loved the photos so much, she uses the ones with me in her pieces, in her catalog and website - she also had great things to say about the photo's and photographers (who she's never met)! I will definitely be working with City of Angels again and again and again...!" - Hemalaya B. 3/8/2012
