“I HATE HAVING MY PICTURE TAKEN!”

Making an investment in a professional headshot is investing in yourself and your career. Whether you're updating your LinkedIn, giving keynote speeches, or building your personal brand, a high-quality headshot will ensure that you look polished, confident, and trustworthy.

In my headshot sessions, I give tailored coaching on pose and facial expression, live image review, and professional quality retouching. You’ll walk out with headshots that make you look like the leader you are.

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.
