The process is easy

If the thought of being in front of a camera makes you nervous, you’re in good company—almost all of my clients start off feeling the same way. As your photographer, my main goal is to make you feel comfortable and at ease. Don’t worry about having any experience in front of the camera. Just by being yourself, we’ll capture some amazing photos. We’ll focus on making the session fun and relaxed, ensuring we get natural, authentic shots that really showcase who you are.

Capturing you

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

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.
