Searching for that Perfect Headshot?

Let me first say that there’s probably no such thing as the perfect headshot. Everyone has a role or function in their company and everyone is different. Therefore, no one headshot is perfect for everyone! However, there are a few things to keep in mind when planning for YOUR perfect headshot.

Hire a professional photographer who specializes in headshots. Yes, lots of photographers provide headshots. But if you choose the cheapest photographer in your area, the results may be less than perfect. Visit the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) website to learn about what makes a certified professional photographer and find one in your area. Visit the photographer’s website and review their headshot work.
Be prepared for your headshot session. Plan your wardrobe and make sure that it’s clean and pressed and that it fits! Bring a couple of options for wardrobe. Hair and makeup for ladies should be appropriate for your position. Get some rest the night before your session so you look fresh and friendly!
Communicate with your photographer. Tell your photographer anything that you can about the headshot. What do you need it for (press publication, website, LinkedIn, company profile, etc.)? Does it need to match or be similar to other company headshots? Have you had a headshot in the past? When was that and how did it go?

With a little planning before your headshot session, you can get YOUR perfect headshot.

Headshots for Capstone Family Practice

I have photographed the doctors and staff for Capstone Family Practice. A new member joined the team and she came to the studio for her headshot. We knew exactly which background and layout to use since we were matching the other headshots in the office. Leah’s headshot is a great example of her perfect headshot. It’s relaxed and comfortable and friendly, just like her! We printed her headshot as well so that her headshot can join the others hanging in the office. Well done, Leah and Capstone Family Practice!

My photography style is leaving my client with a photo they love to show off 🤍

Every session is designed to create images that feel elevated and effortless, capturing who you are now and where your brand is going next.

Photos that make a statement without trying too hard — and still feel relevant years from now.

If your brand calls for imagery that feels confident, cohesive, and unmistakably you, you’re in the right place.

✨ Ready to create something elevated?

This is why you should NOT ask ChatGPT to turn your Facebook photo into a professional headshot 👇🏻

AI can do a lot of things… but representing the real you isn’t one of them.

In the AI version of my headshot:
❌ My hair was changed
❌ My makeup disappeared
❌ My face shape was different
❌ The lighting + posing weren’t tailored to me at all

On screen, it looked “close enough”…
But in person? It looked nothing like me.

And that’s the problem.

Some poses might feel a little silly in the moment and that’s okay. 📸👇🏼

One of the biggest secrets to great photos is being willing to experiment.

What feels “unnatural” in real life often looks confident, effortless, and polished on camera. That’s why posing is such a big part of what I do during every session.

I’ll guide you through adjustments, test different angles, and fine-tune details so we find what truly works for you.

You don’t need to overthink it or worry about how you look — trusting the process is where the magic happens.

You show up. I’ll handle the posing.

Updated branding photos aren’t just about looking polished — they’re about having the right tools ready when you need them.

A branding session creates a full library of images you can use throughout the year — for your website, social media, emails, speaking opportunities, and everything in between.

When you have those visuals ready, showing up online feels easier and more intentional.

Instead of scrambling for content or reusing outdated photos, you’ll always have on-brand images you can confidently pull from — whenever your business needs them.

That’s why branding photos aren’t just an expense.

They’re an investment in consistency, confidence, and long-term visibility.

I hear this all the time — and the good news is, you don’t need to👇🏻

Guiding you through posing, angles, and expressions is literally my job.

During every session, I give clear, simple direction so you never feel awkward or unsure of what to do next.

My goal is to help you feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident — because that’s when you look your best.

You’re never expected to “perform” or figure it out on your own. I’ll position you in ways that highlight your best features and feel natural to you.

All you need to do is show up. I’ll take care of the rest.
