Capturing you

My main goal is to capture your unique personality in my photos. I want to showcase the real you, without any artificial poses or editing. I’ll take a variety of images, with different expressions and styles, so that you have plenty of options to choose from when selecting your profile photo. I want this to be a comfortable experience, so we’ll work together to create great images that truly reflect who you are.

A modern approach

Even though you might be coming in for a Linkedin profile update, or a headshot to satisfy your business life, we’ll have time to capture more natural, casual photos that can be used in a variety of situations. The photo studio uses beautiful soft light and there are countless backdrops to choose from, allowing us to experiment and work towards a more personal set of portraits.

What’s a headshot session like?

CREATIVITY AND FLEXIBILTY

I tailor every headshot session to reflect each client’s specific needs. You’ll have a full range of styles, poses and expressions to choose from. Sessions range from 30 minutes to 2 hours which allows for loads of time to get creative and fun.

LIVE CAPTURE

I photograph directly into my 27″ iMac. It’s a great tool to ensure we’re getting the highest quality images throughout the shoot. It allows us to check in once and a while to review the images. You’ll know exactly what we’ve captured before leaving.

ONLINE AND DOWNLOADABLE

You’ll receive a ton of options from your session with a personalized online gallery that you can share with friends and family to help choose your best look. With most sessions, you’ll be able to download and keep every headshot we shoot.
