Your professional headshot is not just any Photo of you!
Most people will see the digital version of you long before they get to shake your hand. Could be a potential client, a decision-maker, or someone looking to network with you.
A great headshot is confident, approachable and makes people want to connect. The old outdated photo from your best friend’s wedding is actually working against you.
The best part? You don’t need to know how to look good, confident or approachable on camera. I’ll be your mirror during the session and coach you on pose and expression. Even if you feel totally un-photogenic, you’ll walk out with amazing headshots.
Your LinkedIn Photo Is a Business Decision.
You’ve been putting off getting a professional headshot for your LinkedIn. It doesn’t need to be stressful, and it doesn’t need to be boring. One session takes you from just another profile to one that stops the scroll.
Most people who book with me say the same thing beforehand: they dislike having their picture taken. They don't know what to do. They always look awkward in photos.
That's exactly why the coaching is part of the session. You'll get clear direction on posture, expression, and eye contact throughout. You won't be guessing.
The goal isn't to make you look like someone else. It's to get a professional headshot that actually looks like you, on your best day. Most clients leave surprised by how easy it was.
Let Me Bring The Studio To Your Team.
Coordinating headshots for your entire team can be a logistical nightmare. I bring a fully equipped studio directly to your location.
We can use a conference room, lobby, or common area where I can set up with minimal disruption.
Ideal for law firms, financial advisory practices, medical groups, and corporate teams throughout Montgomery County and the DC Metro area.

ERAS Headshots
Your ERAS Photo Sets the Tone Before You Walk in the Room
Program directors review hundreds of applications.
Your ERAS photo is one of the first impressions they see.

Personal Branding Photography
More than just a Headshot. It’s A Complete Visual Strategy.
A headshot shows people who you are. Personal branding photography shows them how you work, how you lead, and what makes you different.
If you speak at conferences, publish content, run a practice, or lead a team, you need a portfolio of professional images that work across every platform and touchpoint, your website, your social media, your press coverage, your speaking profile. A single headshot can’t do all of that work alone.
Personal branding sessions are planned around you, your goals, your environment, your story. We’ll identify the locations, looks, and moments that reflect how you want to be seen at this stage of your career, then build a complete image portfolio you can draw from for months.
This isn’t photography for photography’s sake. It’s a strategic business asset.
Getting your headshot is simpler than you think!
