Your Headshot Should Open Doors
You’ve worked hard to build your reputation, but, if your current headshot feels outdated, staged, or it just simply doesn’t look like you, it could be holding you back.
Your headshot isn’t about being vain—it’s about building credibility, trust, and showing up as the professional people want to work with.
You Might Be Thinking
“I hate being in front of the camera.”
“I don’t know how to pose or what to wear.”
“I’m NOT photogenic”
“I just need someone to guide me and make this easy.”
This is where you’ll get expert guidance.

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.
