Professional Headshots

That get you seen, trusted, and booked.

Professional Headshots

You’re one step away from the headshot you’ve been putting off for way too long.‬ ‭ Still using that profile photo from 10 years ago? Or worse, a cropped group shot from your‬ ‭ cousin’s wedding?‬ ‭

Let’s fix that.‬ ‭

Your headshot is your first impression online. When it’s done right, it becomes one of your‬ ‭ highest-converting assets for all your marketing needs.‬ ‭

A great headshot builds trust instantly. It’s the first step toward landing your next client, speaking‬ ‭ gig, or career changing connection.‬ ‭

It should do more than “look nice. ” You need a high converting headshot that gets you booked,‬ ‭ remembered and referred. That’s real ROI.‬ ‭

This isn’t a basic headshot session. It’s a strategic and intentional photo experience for‬ ‭ entrepreneurs, professionals and leaders who want to stand out, not blend in.‬ ‭

Let’s elevate your presence online so you attract premium clients and opportunities.‬ ‭

Whether it’s your next speaking opportunity, website rebrand, or podcast launch, your new‬ ‭ headshots will help you show up like the go to expert.‬ ‭

You’ll walk away not just with great photos, but with a renewed sense of confidence and pride in‬ ‭ how you’re showing up in the world.‬ ‭

Frequently Asked

Questions

Do you help with posing? I’m not photogenic!‬ ‭

You’re not alone, most of my clients say that at first! I specialize in working with people who say “I’m not‬ ‭ photogenic” or “I hate being in front of the camera. ” Don’t worry, I guide you through every pose,‬ ‭ expression and angle so you look and feel confident. My goal is to help you feel at ease so the camera‬ ‭ captures your best energy. You’ll walk away feeling empowered and excited to show off your new‬ ‭ headshots.‬ ‭

How much does it cost?‬ ‭

A Headshot session fee is $490‬‭, which included one digital image. Additional Images collections may be purchased separately.

How long does the session take?‬ ‭

Most sessions take‬ ‭about 45–60 minutes, depending on how many outfits and backgrounds we use. I recommend‬ ‭ setting aside 1 to 1.5 hours total.‬ ‭

What should I wear for my headshot?‬

Once you book, I’ll send you my Signature Style Guide with tips on what photographs best, what to avoid,‬ ‭ and how to align your outfit with your brand. The key is to wear something you feel confident in — ‬ ‭ because how you‬‭ feel‬‭ translates directly on camera.

Can I change outfits during the session?‬

Absolutely! I encourage you to bring up to 3 outfit changes. Bring a few different looks and I’ll help‬ ‭ you choose what works best on camera. Whether you need images for your website, LinkedIn, speaking‬ ‭ events, or social media, we’ll create dynamic photos that support every part of your brand.‬ ‭

Do I need professional hair and makeup?‬ ‭

‬It’s totally up to you! Some clients prefer to get professional hair and makeup done, while others feel most‬ ‭ like themselves with their everyday look. The key is to feel confident and aligned with how you want to‬ ‭ show up in your brand. Need recommendations? I’ve got a trusted list of pros I love working with.

Do you retouch the photos?‬ ‭

Yes. Every image you purchase includes light retouching (think polished and professional, never‬ ‭ overdone). My editor will gently touch up your images for things like blemish removal, fine lines, flyaway‬ ‭ hair, subtle contouring, teeth whitening, under-eye bags, etc.‬ ‭

You’ll still look like‬‭ you‬‭ — just on your best day!‬ ‭

Can I get unedited photos?

Think of it this way: asking for unretouched photos is like asking a restaurant to bring you raw ingredients‬ ‭ instead of the finished meal. Sure, the pieces are there, but it’s not ready to serve.‬

I only deliver fully retouched images because your brand deserves the‬‭ whole, polished, ready-to-wow‬ ‭ experience.‬ ‭

When can I see my photos?‬ ‭

We’ll review your images together. I’ll help you select the strongest‬ ‭ photos for your goals. No pressure, just expert guidance. You only purchase what you love (and fair‬ ‭ warning , you’ll probably love a lot).‬ ‭

How long does it take to get my final retouched photos?‬ ‭

Once you select your images for purchase, my editor retouches them within 2 to 4 business days. If you have a tight‬ ‭ deadline, we can usually accommodate a rush request — just let me know in advance‬ ‭

Where can I use my headshots?‬ ‭

These images are designed to work across all your platforms (website, LinkedIn, speaking gigs, email‬ ‭ marketing, ads and more). Some clients even use them for online dating profiles! We’ll capture a range of‬ ‭ expressions and looks to suit all your personal and professional needs. Plus, your final retouched images‬ ‭ are delivered in multiple optimized sizes — from web ready to high resolution — so you’re set for‬ ‭ everything from Instagram to printed ads.‬ ‭

Do you offer group or team headshots?

Yes! I work with teams and companies to create a consistent, on-brand look across your entire‬ ‭ organization. Whether it’s at your place of business or at my studio, I’ll tailor the session to match your‬ ‭ brand and make the process seamless‬‭.‬‭ Looking for team branding? Check our group photo services‬.‬ 

What’s the difference between headshots and personal brand photos?

A headshot photo makes the introduction.Brand photography helps them remember you.

Headshots are close-up, professional photos. Perfect for LinkedIn, your website bio, or any first impression.

Personal Brand sessions capture your personality, energy, and purpose across multiple looks, poses and locations, giving you a collection of images to use across your entire brand.
