You know what`s quietly costing you clients? 👇🏼
Inconsistent branding.
When your team`s headshots are all over the place—different backgrounds, different lighting, some from 2019—it`s doing more damage than you think:
❌ Confuses your audience
❌ Makes your business feel less established
❌ Creates hesitation before booking
❌ Forces you to "reintroduce" yourself every time you post
But here`s what happens when your visual branding is cohesive and professional:
✔️ Builds recognition over time
✔️ Makes showing up online easier
✔️ Reinforces professionalism
✔️ Creates momentum and trust
This is why I bring headshot stations directly to your corporate events—your entire team gets updated, consistent imagery without anyone having to schedule 47 individual appointments.
One session. Cohesive branding. Done.

Has it been 10 years since your last headshot too? Read this 👇🏻
Taylor’s first professional headshot was taken a decade ago — and since then, his career has evolved, his role has changed, and his professional presence has grown right along with it.
This is why updating your headshot matters.
Your headshot isn’t just a photo — it’s a reflection of where you are right now. As you move companies, step into leadership, shift industries, or simply grow more confident in who you are, your image should keep pace with that evolution.
A current headshot builds trust, reinforces credibility, and ensures the person someone meets in real life matches the professional they saw online.
If it’s been years since your last headshot, ask yourself⬇️
Does it still reflect who you are today — and where you’re headed next?
Because your career doesn’t stand still… and your headshot shouldn’t either.

You don`t need to BE confident to show up for a headshot session. The session creates the confidence.
Most professionals avoid updating their headshots because they think they need to feel confident first. But that`s backwards.
My clients are always surprised by how great their photos look—and that instant confidence boost changes how they show up in their business.
Here`s what happens when you work with me: 👇🏼
→ I guide your posing so you look natural and professional
→ I direct your expression so your personality shines through
→ I handle the lighting so you look polished and approachable
→ You walk away with imagery that makes you feel like the expert you already are
You don`t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. That`s my job. Your job is just to show up.
Ready to stop waiting until you "feel confident enough"? Let`s create the confidence together.

Most professionals avoid headshots because they`re scared it`ll feel awkward, forced, or fake.

❌ Inconsistent team branding

Can you spot the difference? 👀
Same company. Same brand consistency. Three different years.
This is the power of a group composite - and it`s a game-changer for growing teams.
Here`s how it works 👇🏻
Instead of wrestling with everyone`s schedule to get your entire team in one place at one time (we all know that`s impossible), I photograph each person individually. Then I composite them together into a polished group photo that looks like everyone showed up on the same day.
Why this solves your biggest scheduling nightmare:
✅ New hire starts next month? Add them seamlessly to your existing team photo
✅ Team member leaves? Update the composite without re-scheduling everyone
✅ Remote employees? They can get photographed separately and added in
✅ Someone`s unavailable on photo day? No problem - we`ll catch them later
✅ Your team photo always looks current and complete
Most businesses struggle with outdated team photos because coordinating 15+ calendars feels impossible. Group composites eliminate that friction entirely.

Here`s the truth: feeling awkward on camera isn`t about you—it`s about not knowing what to do with yourself.
Most professionals freeze up because they`re thinking about how they look instead of what they`re communicating. That self-consciousness? It shows up in every frame.
Here`s what actually works:
✅ Give yourself something to do with your hands (gesture naturally, hold something meaningful)
✅ Think about your MESSAGE, not your appearance
✅ Remember: confidence comes from preparation, not perfection
When you show up prepared and focused on serving your audience, that natural confidence comes through. And that`s what builds credibility and connection.
Need professional imagery that actually represents the confident leader you are?
