"I have shot with Keli FOUR times. And there is one

reason I keep coming back...THE WORK.

Keli's shots stand out from the crowd and get the

attention of everyone who sees them.

In a business that is already competitive by nature,

having great pictures of yourself is a MUST and Keli

delivers.

Keli also has the best RANGE- whether it's girl next-

door innocent or sultry body shots, Keli can make it

happen...her variety is unbelievable, yet still unique

to the persons essence.

Regarding my recent shoot with Keli.. My publicist

LOVED the photos,

my manager & agent LOVED the photos and I LOVE

them too!"

Keli,

I'd like to be part of the testimonials on your site


because everyone is THRILLED with my pictures,


so here goes:

I waited a long time to get new pictures because it

was always a $$$ hassle. My previous shots were

really outdated, so my agent at Coast To Coast

referred me to Keli. I was determined to cheap it

out instead and called several places. Couldn't find

anyone I liked or could afford.

Then I met with Keli... and I was sold. She's fun,


humorous and straightforward, so I let her do her


thing from wardrobe to makeup.

What did I learn? There are cheaper and more


expensive, but not better than Keli.

I have been auditioning steadily (theatrically and
commercially) since.

Last Thursday was my busiest day: a commercial


callback, two commercial auditions and I went to


producers theatrically.

I, AM. THRILLED!! I booked the callback: a Walmart


commercial AND I'm on avail for a Blue Cross spot!

This lady knows her business. She is professional


and knowledgeable from start to finish. If you're on


the fence or have been burned in the past like I


was, trust her to find a way to make you look your


best. Now I have photos my reps love and I love,


too. I never knew I was so pretty! :) lol

Capturing the many personalities of the actor is an art form...

No photographer grasps that concept better than

Keli Squires Taylor !

It's a commercial agents job to get their actors in as many doors as possible.

That takes the right photos to draw in and capture the attention of the casting directors.

Keli's photos do that better than anyone else.

Hi Keli,

Kris Diedrich, Head of the Synergy Talent’s


Commercial and VO Department here.

I was helping out an actor friend in choosing his


shots from your shoot and I felt like I was looking


at a shoot that I did myself because it was


everything I ever tell my clients to get in a shoot.

VERY nice work!

Thanks for working FOR the clients and not for


yourself which many photographers


in this town seem to do!

I was so glad to see that you look at it from a


marketing point of view! THAT is an Agents dream!


I am so glad I found you!

I look forward to working with you!

-Kris Diedrich

With the perfect amount of character.

Keli Squires Taylor is a master of her craft.

She has all the answers to the "What's,"

"Why's" and "How's"

of her trade and knows exactly when to take the
precise shot.

The measure of any photographers value is
refected in the integrity of those who recommend
them.

Thanks Keli, for the opportunity of shooting with
you."

-Les Brandt

"I have had many pictures taken over my years in the business.

What set Keli apart from other photographers is that

she really took the time to get to know me.

Even making sure I had the right clothes to wear for the shoot.

All of that enabled me to feel totally comfortable with Keli while we were taking the pics."

"The end result?

There were so many good pics to choose!

I now use one of the pictures in my advertising and the results are phenomenal!!

The picture turned out vibrant fresh and modern.

I get so many compliments on that picture!

I know the look and feel of the picture Keli took

got the attention of my customers."

-Eric Swartz

My agent suggested I go and see Keli and I’m so glad I did!

The most helpful part of the shoot for me was the consultation before we started.

Keli took a lot of time with me and together we crafted a plan for the shots I needed.

And for someone new to L.A. this was invaluable.

The pictures are great and I’m going out regularly.

I would definitely recommend Keli to my friends and colleagues.

I can’t wait for the next shoot!

Commercials I've booked :

update: Booked Guest stars & Co-star on

CHUCK, MY NAME IS EARL and ELEVENTH
HOUR.

I have been in the business for 20 years, and I never had such an incredible

reaction to my head shots!

My commercial agent loved them, he picked 17 shots,

my theatrical agent loved them, he picked 11 shots.

I've had 3 auditions since the shoot and got one job.

You always hear in life..you get what you pay for...

like most actors , I always try to squeeze a penny here and there,

and believe it's all about me, I am enough,

I do not need a great photographer...was I ever proved wrong.

I'm telling all my friends, go spend a few dollars more,

do your next shooting session with Keli Squires Taylor,

she will amaze you with her talent and understanding,

she will help you create those characters and you will get unbelievable results.

Definitely the best head shots I've ever had!

Thank you again Keli.

Much Love

Phillipe

-Phillipe Simon

Update : Bookings 08/09

Co-Star - Desperate Housewives, Monk,

Mind of Mencia & iCarly.

Commercials : Nationals - Honda , Oscar Mayer &

a regional spot for Bakers Square.

Keli,

I wanted to drop a line to let you know that my shoot with you was the
best session I have had in my life.

I have been in this business for over 12 years, and shot with many
photographers,

but none took the time, energy, and effort that you put into a
session.

From the wardrobe meeting, where we got really specific about what
characters were going for, to the actual shoot, your talent and
expertise shined through.


Although I was concentrating on a commercial shoot we were able to
get so many shots that also work for me theatrically,
and I am very
grateful.

In fact, I got looks out of this shoot that I have never gotten in all
my years as an actor from any other photographer.

Your work is worth every penny I spent-absolutely AMAZING!


Thank you for taking such great shots,

for taking such great care, and for

sharing your great talent with the world.

All the best,


-Sean Blodgett

I have booked FIVE national commercials : CAPITAL ONE, ADVIL, VW , SPRINT and HORMEL.

My shoot with Keli has been the best career investment I've made.

I now have a huge portfolio of looks to choose from, and something for every audition I can imagine.

and got a meeting with my new theatrical agent within ten minutes of him seeing my Actor's Access profile.

It's always up to you to seal the deal,

but Keli's pictures open a lot of doors, period.



-Fred Maske

Update:08/09 - Booked National spots for

Burger King, HP, DISNEY Mobile


& Bush Brothers Chili !!

Shooting with Keli was amazing!!!

I love that she only shoots one
person a day so she can really focus on YOU.

And, I love her eye for
fashion design and wardrobe. She has a sharp eye and knows how to
create great characters that will book work.

I walked out with 12
great, usable looks after just one shoot.

I know the bright colored
backgrounds are really going to pop and get me called in on-line.

My agent is thrilled!"

02-09 update

hey Keli...

just wanted to say thanks again for the great shots....

I think my Agent told you that I booked a big commercial as soon as I used them!!!

I booked it after I wrote the testimonial and didn't put it in there....

feel free to add that little bit of awsomeness to your growing fan club.

thanks again!

I was in a jam and Keli helped me out!

I had just signed with a new agent who loved my headshots but wanted some with my glasses.

All I needed was just one look. Other photographers only had packaged deals.

I would have had to pay for 2 or more looks that I already had.

When I called Keli and told her my delima she said "Yes" when I was expecting a "No".

The shots were fantastic and my agent loved them.

Thanks to Keli I got everything I needed and didn't have to pay for something I didn't need.

Thanks again Keli. You rock!




-Robert Thibaut

Dear Keli,

Update 08/09- Booked national spots for : Kaiser, Dominos,
T-mobile !!

I had a blast shooting with you & your make up artist!

It was wonderful and I don't think I'll need any retouching!

I couldn't believe how many good pictures I had to choose from I honestly don't know how my Agent managed to narrow it down...

If you call 15 pictures narrowing it down!

Anyway, I'm very happy and want to thank you for keeping it real :)

-Ellie Araiza

Keli,

Update 08/09 -Recently booked a co-star on a new ABC show "Castle"!!

Update 08/09 - I did parts in nine films this past year along with a bunch of videos for the internet.

Some of the film projects include:
Two "SpiritClips" for Rob Freid (Academy award producer)
"Sideways/Japan" directed by Chellin Gluck
"To the Wall" directed by Carey Scott
"Woman City" written and directed by Sid Churk, making the film festival circuit most recently the Dubai festival.

Wanted to tell you too that my pictures are gleaning lots of good comments and they seem to be opening doors ...

It's the picture that opens the door and thanks to you I have a dozen different ones that I can submit. So - thanks kiddo!

I have had many,many head shots taken during the last 50 years while I have been around in "the biz"... London,New York,Scottsdale AZ, Los Angeles. I have NEVER had such good ones or such an array.

You are really a spectacular photographer,wonderfully talented and...you were a pleasure to be with the three hours that you were coaxing me into the best poses for the best shots.

Can't thank you enough. Can't praise you enough. Shucks - just show the 14 shots my agent picked out-that should be endorsement enough!

Love ya kiddo!



-Peggy Lord Chilton

Update 08/09 : Hi Keli,
As far as commercials this year, I've booked an AIG Direct, Budweiser, and
K-Mart. I also guest starred on a new show called Kamen Rider Dragon Knight
and will be shooting a webseries called "Ylse".
Hope you're well and love your photos!

David Beron


I had a wonderful time shooting my headshots with Keli.
After 20 years of getting headshots I have to say this was the most relaxed and fresh session I’ve had.

Keli understands the marketing nature of a headshot – something so fundamental that often seems to be forgotten.

The result was that I had an array of choices and a variety of different looks for different roles. Keli’s use of color backgrounds is quite unique. In the age of online submissions her photos truly “pop”.

She has a wonderful eye for coordinating the actor’s wardrobe with a colorful background. Definitely not your run of the mill headshots!

Thank you Keli!



-David Beron

Keli just wanted to let you know that the pictures work !

I booked six national spots for Alltel Wireless

and a national spot for Buffalo Wild Wings and a co-star on E.R.

My manager and agent love the pictures and I get out all the time!

-Ian Gould

Hey Keli
I want to thank you SO much for the awesome shoot...

I couldn't be happier with the feedback either...

I showed some potential winners to casting directors at

both Audino/Schiff Casting and at Goldwasser/Meltzer Casting,

as well as a theatrical agent at Paradigm and all had amazing feedback...

One casting director told me that "as an actor, you're lucky to get one good headshot that works, you have dozens..."

I have a great feeling these shots are gonna be the ones that take me to the next level...

Thanks a million...
Jay



-Jay Seals

Keli,

Wanted to let you know I booked a national SEARS commercial and 6 national spots for Chevrolet !

I get out all the time and it's because of your pictures !

Everyone else out there :

Keli is a rare talent as a photographer.

She is like a personal
manager, stylist, and photographer all in one.

Her previous experience
as a talent manager allows her to get you the shots that the casting
directors and agents are looking for. But more importantly, with the
high volume of talent competition, she gets you pictures that will grab
their attention.

Her amazing eye for style and color brings energy and
character to your pictures.

She will meticulously pair your wardrobe with backgrounds, character
types, and mediums, giving you the pictures you need for film, tv,
commercial, print, and editorial.

But most importantly, Keli is amazing
to work with.

It's like doing your shoot with a good friend.
You joke
around, have fun, she makes you feel like a rock star,
and it jumps out
of your pictures!

-Tyler Evans

Keli Squires-Taylor is the best photographer in Los Angeles !

The session is fun, the chosen backgrounds always breathe more life into the shots.

I've never had such positive feedback on my headshots.

If you want vibrancy, color, and originality......go to
Keli.

- National Broadway Tour "The Producers"

-Nick Santa Maria

My experience with Keli-Squires Taylor was truly unparalleled.

I've never shot with a photographer who captured my essence so well.

I now have photos representing the full spectrum of my personality and every single one makes me say,

"Yep, that's me."

It's encouraging to know that casting directors will be able to see me in multiple lights.

I feel confident that these pictures are going to help me get called in for the roles that are just right for me.

A great value indeed

-Tim Lacatena

Keli Squires Taylor is one of the most professional photographers I have ever worked with.

She made me feel like she wasn't even shooting me while working.

I have never felt that free before!

It definitely paid off!

I use her pictures on all my different official sites, as well as my merchandise.

Thank you Keli!

-Christy Romano

Hi Keli,

Just wanted to drop you a line before I head out of town--

there were
some great shots in that last roll as well--I showed some to my friends
in the biz and they loved them!

Just a bit of kudos.
Can't wait to see what else we've got..."

-Don Friesen

When I looked at my friend Nick Santa Maria's pictures I was blown away !

I knew I had to fly from New york to Los Angeles to have Keli shoot my pics and I was right !

I love my pictures. They stand out & I always get great comments from the industry !

Thank you Keli for your AMAZING work !
