We're not just in the business of taking pictures; we’re in the art of telling stories.
While headshots capture a moment, we strive to capture your essence, crafting portraits that reverberate with depth, emotion, and individuality.
Traditional headshots serve a purpose, yet they seldom narrate the rich tapestry that is you or your brand. Our mission goes beyond producing a basic image – we aim to create visual narratives that elevate your brand to new dimensions.
These aren’t just photos; they’re a compelling, silent dialogue between your brand and your audience, vividly encapsulating who you are and what you represent.
Let's move beyond the confines of a standard headshot and construct multi-platform portraits that introduce you and tell your story swiftly, authentically, and magnetically.
How the photoshoot experience works…
BEFORE THE SHOOT
Before booking a portrait photoshoot, I always do a phone consultation to learn more about you, what kind of photos you might want, and to discuss other aspects like wardrobe and cost.
I will guide you in what outfits to bring and hair and makeup.
Hair and makeup are always available but not required at an additional cost.
GROUP SHOTS
Take Incredible Photos Of Your
Team & Office
Team headshots are business headshots used for company websites, business cards, press releases, and LinkedIn profiles. Team headshots showcase your team members’ professionalism, friendliness, and competence.
A great headshot is the perfect first step for building an awesome brand that helps your company improve sales numbers or attract investors to your company.
Employers should keep employees’ headshots consistent across the group to show the brand or company's aesthetic.
If all team members aren’t available at the same place/time, we will create a corporate shot using a technique used on Vogue and Vanity Fair Oscar covers. Please email us for more information.

PHOTO SHOOT TIPS
How to Prepare for a Session
Choose neutral colors and darker tones for at least one outfit.
Solid fabrics and longer sleeves always work best. Layer textures and accessories truly make an image POP! When in doubt, bring options for us to choose from.
Keep your hair and makeup natural. Don't try a new haircut. Self-tanner. Extra makeup... this is not the day to do this!
Your BEST looking portrait are YOU, honest and authentic.
Men fresh shave. Check the nose and ear hair... yes I said that :)
Women, arrive rested and ready and pack all your accessories and undergarments needed for each outfit.
Check your nails. Dry hands and chipped nails don't photograph well.
Here are HEADSHOT TIPS to help you plan
- Dress how you want to present yourself best, what makes you feel confident!
- Select clothes that are not baggy or too tight but fit well. What works best are fitted or tailored clothing.
- Clothes must be on hangers, ironed or steamed, with no wrinkles. Wrinkles are costly to edit out.
- Long sleeves often work best over sleeveless unless you love your arms—sleeveless shirts limit poses.
- Avoid wearing white unless it's layered under a jacket, cardigan, vest, or sweater.
- Patterns are distracting and pull the eye away from you. If you do wear a pattern, consider layering with a solid color jacket, sweater, or vest.
- The right color will bring out your eye color and brighten your look.
- If your hair is dark, consider wearing a solid color on top, so your hair does not blend into the dark clothing.
- To ensure your session is a hit, bring options/alternative shirts so we can select what will work best for you.
- If you wear a necklace and earrings, ensure they work with what you plan to wear and that they won't be too long or lay incorrectly. Shorter works best for headshots as long ones will be cut off.
- Bring chapstick or lip balm to keep lips hydrated. You don't want your lips to look dry in your portrait.
- Check your nails. Dry hands and chipped nails don't photograph well.
- MEN, check your ear and nose hair... I said it: groom ear, nose, and eyebrow hairs.
- Please don't get a new haircut or color the day before. I have seen this backfire, and you are investing in this session. The day before your session is not the day to try a new look.
- Self-tanner should take place days before and NEVER the day before. Another costly move that will backfire.
CONSIDERING PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP AND OR HAIR?
We highly recommend professional makeup for women and have a list of talented makeup and hair artists that can be booked for your session. The rates start at $250-$300, depending on your desired look and hair length.
Bring lipstick or chapstick for touch-ups if you choose to do your own.
Hair should be done how you want, and you usually wear it. Again, it's not a day to try a new style. Wear your hair your way!
