AI Headshots

Rather than signing over your likeness to the AI generator, I propose another solution: using a photographer’s skill in lighting, posing, editing (now with the help of AI) to create an extraordinary headshot or branding photo. With this solution, we retain the realism and authenticity of you.

A LinkedIn profile demands authority and professionalism, while Instagram might require a touch more flair and vibrancy. A professional photographer can easily provide both in one session by changing background, lighting, and posing accordingly.

The best headshots result from a partnership, a unique collaboration between professional photographers and AI. This synergy is the future—a future where AI and photographers work hand-in-hand to revolutionize professional photography.

REAL Headshots

Check out these recent headshots with a camera and a person! I’ve had countless clients come to me asking for an authentic headshot – something not overly processed. Some people have had bad experiences in the past with their photos not representing them well. My tagline is “The very best YOU…is what I do.” My ultimate goal is for you to look like you on your very best, well-rested, well-hydrated day!

What is your headshot or branding saying about you?

Because whether you realize it or not… your image is already telling a story.
The question is — is it the right one?

Your photo is often your first impression: on LinkedIn, your website, your business card, even your email signature. And people will make assumptions based on what they see.

✔️ Does your headshot show confidence and approachability?
✔️ Does it reflect your personality, values, and professionalism?
✔️ Or is it outdated, unclear, or totally misaligned with where you`re headed?

Your image should tell your story before you even speak.
Make sure it’s the one you want people to hear.

Let’s capture photos that reflect the real you — with intention, authenticity, and style.

📸 Contact me to schedule your branding or headshot session!

How to feel confident in photos 👇🏻

Let’s be honest — not everyone loves being in front of the camera. But confidence in your photos isn’t about being a model… it’s about feeling like yourself.

Here are a few ways to boost your confidence before your next session:

✨ Wear something that makes you feel good.
Choose outfits that fit well, reflect your style, and make you feel like the best version of you.

✨ Practice posture + breathing.
Good posture instantly improves how you carry yourself — and deep breaths help you relax and release tension.

✨ Shift your mindset.
Instead of focusing on how you look, focus on what the photo represents — your personality, your story, your growth.

✨ Work with a photographer who gets it.
That’s where I come in. I’ll guide you through every step of the process — from what to wear to how to pose — so you feel confident, comfortable, and genuinely you in every shot.

📸 Let’s create photos you actually love. Contact me to chat or book your session.

Not sure how formal your headshot should be? Start here. 👇

Your outfit plays a huge role in the story your headshot tells — and choosing the right look helps you show up with clarity and confidence.

Here are 5 levels of formality for men’s headshots and when to use each one:

1️⃣ Very Formal
Suit jacket + button-down shirt + tie
This look builds instant trust and authority.

2️⃣ Semi-formal (No Tie)
Suit jacket + button-down (no tie)
Polished, approachable, and confident.

3️⃣ Business Casual
Button-down shirt, no jacket
Comfortable and true to your everyday brand.

4️⃣ Branded Apparel
Button-down or polo with company logo
Keeps things clean, professional, and consistent — especially for team headshots.

5️⃣ Casual
Fitted t-shirt or polo (no branding)
Still professional — just more relaxed and innovative.

✨ BONUS TIPS:
– Stick to solid colors
– Make sure clothes are clean, pressed & well-fitted
– Avoid loud patterns or busy logos (unless branded)
– Bring a backup shirt or jacket to your session

🎯 The goal? Choose the level that fits your industry, role, and personality — and Tara will help you photograph it perfectly.
