Personal Profile Photo

A professional headshot photographer will use lighting, posing, and post-production skills to highlight your best features.  So many people create profiles that don’t represent who they truly are.  When you meet them in person, the truth is clear!  Start a relationship in the most honest and open way possible…with images that truly reflect who you are in the absolute best light.

“Not all headshots are strictly business. But the same goal of evoking authentic personality remains for profile photos on dating apps, whether they’re selfies, a new headshot, a special facial expression. Standing out is everything — while staying true to who you are. You want to set your photo apart, especially from the played-out bathroom reflection or the back-to-the-camera look into the distance. This isn’t event photography, but photography that makes viewing your photo an event, every time it’s seen.

If you are among the many who can’t stand getting your photo taken but know a beautiful headshot makes your dating app and social media sing to its audience, hiring our professional photographers who are pros at making you look amazing is the perfect avenue. A magnetic profile pic introduces you in a way that makes it light years easier to cultivate connections and attract the people you’re looking for!” ~Flytographer.com, March 2022

One outfit isn’t enough. Here’s why…

In branding sessions, we plan intentionally—from your wardrobe to your messaging—so your photos work everywhere your brand shows up.

I always recommend bringing multiple outfits: start with your most formal look and end with something more relaxed. This gives you a versatile set of images—perfect for everything from LinkedIn to your About page to your social media.

✨ Pro tip: Think layers, textures, and pieces that feel like you.

💬 Not sure what to wear or how to plan your session wardrobe? Drop your questions below—I’m here to help!
Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

When people land on your website or socials, they want to know who you are.

But when you rely on stock photos, you risk looking generic, disconnected, or even untrustworthy — and that could be costing you real opportunities.

Here are 5 reasons to book a professional branding session and invest in photos that are genuine and authentically you:

1️⃣ Build connection. Real faces build real trust.

2️⃣ Show your personality. Let your brand voice shine visually.

3️⃣ Stand out. Your competition is using the same stock photos. You deserve better.

4️⃣ Get consistency. Custom photos align with your colors, vibe, and messaging.

5️⃣ Boost confidence. When you love your photos, you show up more.

📩 Ready to ditch the stock and show up as the real you?

Contact me to book your branding consultation today! I’d love to help you elevate your presence.
If I had a dollar for every time a client said, “I’m not photogenic”… I could retire.

But here’s the truth:

That phrase? It’s not a fact.
It’s a story you’ve been telling yourself — one of those “little t” truths that feels real, but isn’t.

The real truth?
✨ You are photogenic.
📸 You just haven’t had someone help you see it yet.

Most of us aren’t perfectly symmetrical. Most of us feel awkward in front of the camera. That’s NORMAL.

But with the right lighting, posing, angles — and someone who knows how to bring out your best — that all changes.

You don’t need to look like anyone else.
You just need to feel like you.

And that’s where I come in. 💛

Ready to finally love the way you show up in photos? Contact me — I got you.

Want people to remember you? Start with this 👇🏻

Your face is your most powerful branding tool — and science backs it up. 🧠

We’re wired to recognize and remember faces, especially when we see them consistently. So if your headshot is outdated, inconsistent, or missing altogether… you could be missing out on real connections.

Here are 5 reasons to invest in a professional headshot that aligns with your brand:

1. First impressions happen online. Make yours count.

2. Visual consistency builds trust. People recognize what they see often.

3. A polished photo = instant credibility.

4. It helps people feel like they know you. Before you’ve even met.

5. Recognition = recall. Repetition helps people remember you.
