Felicity Murphy Photography

We are a new restaurant talent agency based in Los Angeles and we just launched in July 2015. We needed high-​end photography for our website and marketing materials, as well as corporate portraits of the owners and management team. Felicity brought her knowledge of classic corporate headshots, along with her sense of current style and marketing savvy to help us create the perfect photos for our brand. We represent cooks and chefs in L.A. and needed something both polished but also gritty, edgy yet expensive. Felicity shot on location over two separate days and was truly a pleasure to work with. My business partner was also glad we shot with her as she fit our budget, was affordable but delivered the best photos we could have wanted– really excellent. She was also quick on the turn-​around and did additional photo retouching fast. We’ve had a great response to our web site in large part to the photography she shot for us. I know she has a studio in Downtown L.A. but shoots all over the city. I would definitely recommend her for both corporate photography and creative marketing photography too. Thanks Felicity!

I can not say enough great things about my experience with Felicity!!! Not only is she a fantastic photographer, she’s also incredibly easy going and fun to work with, which made me super relaxed and showed in the photos. I’m not a typical corporate professional, but getting nutrition and lifestyle headshots is really important for my marketing and website. As a dietitian and media spokesperson, I’ve done this every 5 years for a while now and Felicity has been the best photographer I’ve worked with to date. In addition to being awesome the day of the shoot, she was super helpful throughout the whole process… answering questions like «what do I wear?» «where do we shoot?» «what photos are best?» One other thing that super impressed me: towards the end of a long day of shooting she really thought about what we had captured and what I might still need (not just more of the same types of shots) and then did a setup of me in a different room that I never would have thought to do and it gave me a much wider variety of photos from our day of shooting. As you can tell, I can not recommend her more. She also takes phenomenal fitness shots. Book her if you can!

Felicity and her team were just fantastic! They came into our office to take head shots and photos for our website. She brought in lights, backdrop, and make-​up. Felicity set up in our conference room for the head shots and throughout the day took informal shots around the office.
I thought I would feel awkward about taking these photos, but Felicity made me feel very comfortable. She was able to turn around the photos quickly and they came out great! Her team was fun, easy going, and great to work with! Highly recommended!

I always love working with Felicity!!! She’s the first photographer that I worked with several years ago, when I landed in LA. (& I’ve had a lot of different hairstyles since then) so I’ve enjoyed several sessions with her over the years. I generally don’t like getting head-​shots. They are the worst. But she makes the entire process so easy, relaxed and fun. She actively communicates and gets clear sense of what it is you’re going for. And then most importantly! — she has such a professional eye, that she knows if she’s getting the best of you or not. And she’ll bring it out of you if she’s not seeing it. So you forget all about the pressure of getting the perfect shot. Whether it’s for corporate business, glam, sports, casual — she’s your girl! And the studio is to die for! Huge, with big beautiful windows in downtown LA. It’s an incredible place to shoot. She has also shot some of my music promo shots in the past (and again just recently). And everyone still flips out over them, to this day. Her work is timeless!

I recently had an amazing photo shoot session with Felicity for corporate headshots. The photos turned out amazing and Felicity was highly professional, responsive, creative, and friendly at each step of the process. I genuinely — highly — recommend Felicity.
This was not a process I felt at ease with and could not articulate well what I wanted, just that I needed some new, professional photos for a variety of purposes. Felicity responded quickly to my first inquiry and provided all of the information I needed to feel comfortable booking with her — and making the trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles to do so. It am very glad I made this decision.
She was flexible about the dates and time and worked to fit me in while I could be in town on short notice. When I arrived at her –stunningly beautiful — studio, she put me right at ease and knew what to ask me about my job, goals, and personality in order to find out what I really wanted, when I did not know myself. She made sure the resulting photos included different shots appropriate for a variety of uses — Linked In profile, standard ultra conservative law firm head shot, as well as professional shots that also captured my personality/​essence — I am now set with all I will need with no need to go back for specific photos if a certain need arises.
And her makeup artist, Michelle Diaz, was an absolute genius. I only wish I had known of Michelle when I got married last year so she could have done my make up then. The two together made sure I looked my absolute best, made me feel comfortable and relaxed, and got some fantastic shots that came out better than I could have imagined.
Felicity was equally diligent and responsive during the post-​shoot process, responding to me quickly and getting the photos to me in a very short period of time.
I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job, from A — Z than Felicity. I love the photos, and she really managed to capture my essence, while maintaining the conservative edge these called for. Genius! I would definitely use her again without a second thought.

When we redesigned our company website it quickly became apparent that we were also in need of new corporate portraits of our Partners to replace the old corporate headshots, which ranged from drab to outright cheesy. This presented several new concerns, which Felicity Murphy of CCorpFoto addressed and facilitated in a heroic fashion!
PROBLEM: Our Partners’ hourly rates are the lifeblood of this Firm, and to send them to a photographer’s studio would be cost-​prohibitive.
SOLUTION: Felicity and her team brought their equipment and set up a studio in our board room, minimizing our loss of billable time, and accommodating our busy schedule.
PROBLEM: We were trying to update not just our website, but our company’s public image. We needed bold, powerful, dynamic pictures that evoke feelings of confidence and authority, yet feel modern and cutting edge. However as accountants, the Partners are not all comfortable with portrait photography, and don’t necessarily look or feel «cutting edge.»
SOLUTION: Felicity and her Make-​up artist made the Partners look and feel confident and at ease. She helped them to find and create looks that brought out the best in each of them, and represented our Firm and Partners as modern and progressive, whilst retaining dignity and authority.
PROBLEM: As our our Partnership would continue to grow after the initial photo shoot, we needed to be able to recreate the same look and feel for subsequently added Partners’ photos.
SOLUTION: Felicity and her team are able to recreate the same type of background and lighting at any point in the future, either in our office or in her own studio.
We are so grateful to Felicity Murphy and her team for the outstanding job they did, and we look forward to working with her again and again.

Felicity is AMAZING. She is absolutely talented, enthusiastic and fun to work with! I enjoyed every minute of the photo shoot at her beautiful, spacious and comfortable studio located in downtown L.A., which is totally a hidden gem.
I had such a great time shooting with Felicity. She was so friendly and took a lot of time getting to know me, my life and also what kind of photos I wanted. She made me feel comfortable, confident and beautiful so that I can be natural in front of the camera and get my best shots.
I would definitely recommend Felicity to all my friends ;)))

I had graduation photos with my parents taken by Felicity. She is extremely friendly, makes you feel comfortable, and was very accomodating. We usually don’t like our picture taken, but she was able to capture images of us smiling. The pictures came out promptly and beautiful. We requested some photoshop on a portrait and that was also an amazing job. I highly recommend going to Felicity for any picture-​taking needs.

So if you’re an actor, chances are, you’ve taken a lot of headshots. I’ve taken plenty and paid between 200 and 700 dollars and HANDS DOWN the best photos I’ve gotten are with Felicity.
Felicity doesn’t just know how to make you look good and how to make the light dance for you; but she knows how to make you comfortable. She knows how to relax you and make the whole session FUN so that your true essence shines through.
Her rates are super fair and she’s not watching the clock, or counting your outfits; she genuinely wants you to get you came for AND IT SHOWS! My pictures don’t lie and neither would my agent. He’s happy, and that never happens. So I’m happy too!
I am recommending her to all my actor/​actress/​model/​dancer/​drag queen friends and I can’t wait until I get to go back and have another helluva good time with her.

So I must admit when I finally decided I needed a professionally done corporate headshot I felt a little silly and embarrassed. I’ve never been entirely comfortable with photos of myself. But Felicity provides a wonderful environment that makes you feel quite comfortable. Working with her and Michelle was a lot of fun and she was able to capture exactly what I wanted. The quality of her photography is amazing and whereas with other photographers you feel lucky if there a handful of shots you want to use with Felicity every shot is great. I highly recommend her.

I’ve been living out in the middle of the mojave desert for a while now, so when I started a new job based in Los Angeles in February I was more than a little bit spooked. Not about the traffic, or the crowds, or the noise, or the lights, camera, action: none of those pedantic worries was primary in my mind. No, I was worried about my hair (crazy desert freak flag), my makeup (can’t remember the last time I bought mascara), and my clothing (apparently a wifebeater worn with ripped jeans and a giant belt buckle is Not Okay For The Office Environment).
I spent three sleepless nights Freaking Out about my wardrobe. I mean, first impressions, right? I combed through my wardrobe at least eighteen times, with giant crocodile tears in my eyes.
On my second day of work, my new employer asked me to make an appointment with Felicity Murphy to have professional corporate photos taken for publicity /​announcements, external email blasts, and the internal corporate directory.
Crap.
Making an appointment with Felicity was a breeze: she provided a slate of open slots and I selected one that worked for me. She provided detailed directions on how to navigate to her studio, where to park, and how to access the building that were spot-​on. I brought several changes of clothes, including what I was wearing that day. Yes, the 6-​year-​old banana republic suit featured prominently, even though I hadn’t tried it on in two years.
When I arrived at her amazing loft, Felicity and her makeup artist immediately made me feel comfortable. I was offered a beverage and a chair, and then I sat under the skillful hands of an amazing makeup virtuoso who blended the red blotches on my über-​sensitive skin artfully, making me seem wrinkle free and glowy. Seriously, I glowed. I felt gorgeous. There’s nothing better than abandoning a crap day at the office to sit and be pampered by beautiful women who aim to make you look as beautiful and dewy-​eyed as possible. Nothing.
Ms. Makeup then softly curled my crazy hair and flattened it down a bit so that it would lie flat in photos, and set me free to pick one of my dowdy outfits and pose for Felicity.
Felicity’s photography studio was bathed in gorgeous afternoon light, and I tentatively sat on the sofa and we started our shoot. About fifteen to twenty minutes later, after one costume change, we were pretty much done. It took longer for me to drive to her studio than it did for Felicity and Co. to make me look beautiful.
When the photos arrived, our marketing manager came up to my cubicle, starry eyed. «WOW,» he said. «YOU are photogenic.»
«Not really,» I said. «It’s just Felicity working her magic.»
I posted one of Felicity’s photos on my linkedin account and one of my best friends called me that evening. «Um, hey there, Kerri,» he said. «The desert has done some amazing things to you, it seems. You are HOT.»
«Not really,» I said. «It’s just Felicity working her magic.»
Highly, highly recommended for personal or professional photographs and for that sudden burst of confidence that we all need from time to time.

It doesn’t get much better than Felicity Murphy.
Felicity is very warm, friendly, professional, funny and energetic. I had my BEST headshot session with her. I’ve referred pepole to her over the years and I’m always impressed with her quality of photography and what she’s able to get out of her clients.
I hired her years later to shoot my engagement photos and she was AMAZING! We got so many fun, beautiful photos and had a blast doing it. She worked with our ideas and added her own inspired work.
Her photography skills are incredible. Her personality makes you feel like you’ve known her for years. AND she doesn’t let you shoot a bad photo. She’s not just shooting photos to pay the bills, she WANTS you to get awesome photos. She really makes you feel like a team.
Headshots, corporate photos, sports photography (I wanna get in shape just so I can shoot that stuff with her), lifestyle photos, there is nothing Felicity Murphy can’t do.
I would give her 100 stars if it were possible.

Consitstenly stunning work, whenever I shoot with Felicity, not to mention the most safe, warm, and fun atmosphere. The height of professional photography and the time of your life. No one else compares.

I work with her so what can I say, I only work with the best. Here is one of them. Absolutely amazing and recommended!
