Your headshots should work as hard as you do

Whether you’re a small business owner, an entrepreneur, or a professional, you’re pouring your heart and soul into what you do. Your headshot should reflect that same energy and dedication. It’s not just a photo—it’s a powerful visual tool that helps you connect with potential clients, partners, and customers.

When it comes to your headshot, first impressions matter. Whether it’s your website, social media, or marketing materials, your headshot is one of the first things people see. In fact, your headshot speaks before you do, which is why it’s important that it’s saying the right things.

That’s why I believe your headshot should work as hard as you do—to represent the professionalism, passion, and authenticity that you bring every day.

Pre-Session Consultation
Before your session, we’ll talk about your business, your brand, and the look you’re going for. Are you aiming for a professional, authoritative image or something more friendly and approachable? Together, we’ll decide on the perfect wardrobe, backdrop, and style for your session.

On the day of the shoot, I’ll guide you through every step, from how to stand to the best angles. We’ll take the time to capture images that highlight your personality and professionalism. I want you to feel relaxed and confident, so you can focus on what really matters—looking your best and feeling great in front of the camera.
Image Selection & Retouching
After the session, I’ll help you select the best images that truly capture your brand essence. Once chosen, I’ll professionally edit your photos to enhance lighting, color, and small details, ensuring that the final images represent you in the best possible light.

FAQs

Great question! Your clothing plays a crucial role in conveying the right image for your business. I’ll guide you through the process during our pre-session consultation, but here are a few general tips:
- Choose solid colors: Avoid busy patterns, logos, or graphics, as they can distract from your face. Solid colors are more timeless and professional.
- Wear something that reflects your brand: If you run a casual business, a simple, relaxed outfit can work. For more formal industries, a suit or blazer may be more appropriate.
- Avoid overly bright or neon colors: These can sometimes clash with skin tones and distract from the overall look. Stick to shades that complement you.
- Be comfortable: When you feel comfortable in what you’re wearing, it shows in the photos! Feel free to bring a couple of outfit options to the session, and we’ll decide together what works best for your look.
The photo session typically takes between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the type of headshots you’re looking for and how many looks or outfits we’re doing. I want to make sure you feel relaxed and have plenty of time to get the perfect shot. We’ll pace the session so that you don’t feel rushed, and we’ll work together to capture multiple angles and expressions that showcase your personality and professionalism.
Not at all! I offer professional hair and makeup artistry as part of your headshot experience. You’ll be in expert hands, and my team will help you achieve a polished, natural look that complements your features and business brand. Whether you want a more polished or relaxed look, we’ll make sure you feel confident and camera-ready. If you have any specific preferences or allergies, just let me know in advance, and we’ll accommodate your needs.
Immediately after your session, we’ll review your images together and select the best ones that capture your brand and personality. Typically, you can expect to receive your final, edited images within 7-10 business days. Once the images are ready, I’ll send you a private online gallery where you can download your photos. If you need a rush turnaround for a specific deadline, just let me know, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your request.
