Author Headshots

Authors need headshots for book covers.  A new headshot is also helpful for other marketing purposes like social media and other press.  Your readers want to see you – to get a glimpse of the person behind the words.  A picture says so many things that words cannot.  They get to know you so much better with a headshot that accompanies the book.  With both the photo and the story, the reader really knows you by the end of the book.  And that’s what you want, a genuine connection with the reader.

Headshots for Bob and Sherri

Bob and Sherri published a book together entitled A Journey of a New Person.  Another book was to be published within days of our headshot session and another by the end of the year.  Also they expect to have 10 children’s books published as well.  They are busy authors!!  Bob and Sherri were unhappy with their original headshots so they contacted me for some updated headshots.  Sherri and I talked on the phone about details and we made a plan for the session.  She shared with me a photo that she liked of herself.  I always love to see images that you like so that I know what you’re looking for.  We had a fantastic session and I’m so happy with the results.  Now Bob and Sherri have updated headshots for their newest books!

Most men think they don’t know how to pose for a headshot…

but it’s not about knowing poses.

It’s about a few simple adjustments that make you look confident and natural on camera.

A couple go-to options (like the classic “GQ” stance, arms crossed, or a relaxed lean) can completely change how you show up.

And the rest? That’s what I guide you through.

📥 If you’re also not sure what to wear, I’ve got you covered—grab my Men’s Style Guide for Headshots through the link in my bio.

📩 Ready for updated headshots? You can book through the link as well.
If you’re just getting started in photography… don’t worry about finding your niche right away.

When I first started, I photographed everything—weddings, babies, families, headshots, corporate… if someone needed photos, I was there.

And that’s how you figure it out.

You don’t find your niche by waiting—you find it by doing the work, learning what you like, and getting better with every session.

Every type of shoot teaches you something different.
Every client builds your experience.

Over time, you start to see what actually fits you—and that’s where your expertise comes from.

📥 If you’re in that phase right now, I’ve put together resources to help—covering lighting, gear, posing, and more.

Senior portraits are just one piece of what I do 👇🏻

I also work with:
✅ professionals who need updated headshots
✅ business owners building their brand
✅ families capturing this season of life
✅ and actors/models creating strong portfolio images

Different sessions—but the same goal:
helping people show up confidently and authentically on camera

📩 If you’re not sure what kind of session you need, let’s figure it out together—link in bio to learn more.
Senior sessions with moms and sons are always… an experience 😂

A little back-and-forth, a few eye rolls, and somehow we still end up with photos everyone loves.

Honestly, those in-between moments are usually the best part.

📩 DM me if you’ve been putting off senior photos—there’s still time.
