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!

One day, this will be a memory. Don’t miss capturing it.

Senior year has a way of slipping by faster than you expect… and before you know it, they’re graduating.

These photos aren’t just for now—they’re something you’ll look back on for years to come, remembering exactly who they were in this moment.

If you’ve been putting it off, this is your reminder—time is running out and spots are limited.

Shutter speed is one of those things that feels confusing… until it clicks. 😉📸

For headshots, you don’t need anything complicated — just a solid, consistent range and an understanding of how your lighting plays into it.

If you’re a new photographer trying to figure all of this out, I’ve put together a few resources to help you get started — from gear to posing and more.

🚨 QUICK! TIME IS RUNNING OUT 👇🏻

Most people step in front of the camera thinking, “I have no idea what to do.”

That’s where I come in.

Every small adjustment you see here — posture, hands, angles — is intentional. It’s what turns a quick headshot into something confident and professional.

If you want to learn the poses I rely on most, I put together a guide breaking them down.

If you’re just getting into headshot photography, it’s easy to feel like you need everything to get started.

You don’t.

A solid light setup, a reliable camera, and a lens you can trust will take you a lot further than you think.

📸 For me, that looks like a Nikon Z7II mirrorless camera + a 70–200mm lens, paired with a simple lighting setup that keeps things consistent and professional.

It’s not about having the most gear — it’s about having the right setup and knowing how to use it.
