Yeah, I know that it’s super easy to take a picture of someone’s head and shoulders. Anyone with a half-decent smartphone camera can do it. However, making a headshot that has an impact, tells a story, and really shares the best version of you to the world - that’s an art. Creating that requires a lot of comfort and communication between the photographer and the client and that’s the job of the photographer, not the client. I make that level of comfort my priority by creating a fun, relaxed, and professional atmosphere and it shows in the pictures. No more wondering “What do I do with my hands?” or “Am I smiling strangely?” or “Why didn’t I just take these on my cell phone?” The best pictures come out when everyone is thrilled with the process. Before our shoot, you’ll get a detailed PDF of tips with suggestions for clothing, hair, makeup, jewelry, and accessories - everything you need to make the shoot go smoothly. Of course, the lights, backgrounds, posing, and other technical elements need to be spot on, but you don’t need to worry about that: all you need to do is let your best self shine through and leave the rest to me.
The work I do is for professionals, business leaders, actors, models, and others making headway in their industry. I’ve been published in many international magazines and have won awards for my photography in several state-wide and regional art competitions. Whether it’s your first headshot or your twentieth, I’ll be with you every step of the way to give you an eye-catching portrait that you’ll be satisfied to share with others. With me, you won’t just get the usual cookie-cutter headshots. Instead, you’ll get dynamic, unique, and eye-catching headshots that will make you stand out. I don’t just want people to see a picture of you; I want your clients, collaborators, and employers to be predisposed to like and trust you, even before meeting you in person.
I limit my studio bookings to one in the morning, one in the afternoon and by appointment only, you won’t have a line of people gawking while you’re trying to look charming. Once you’re settled, we’ll take a few minutes before we start to talk about your experience and expectations, go through the wardrobe you brought and take care of any last-minute administration. Then it’s all about makeup, hair, and styling with a professional makeup artist. The pace and length of the session are entirely in your control. We take the time necessary to get the shots you love. However, I know that your time is valuable so I don’t want to keep you any longer than is absolutely necessary. My goal is that you’ll walk away from our session with professional, quality headshots and the confidence that you are getting the absolute best quality for your money.
