Business Headshot Photographer Near Clarksburg
I know how uncomfortable it can be to get in front of a camera. You want to look confident and approachable, but you don’t want to like your faking it.

Office Headshots
It can be nearly impossible to coordinate getting everyone in your office to a photo studio.
By having me come set up in your lobby, conference area, or another appropriate area I can shoot office headshots for multiple employees, cause minimal workflow interruption, and ensure a consistent look and brand image across all of your headshots.
I shoot directly to a laptop where each person can view their images, select their favorites, and get on with their busy schedule.
