Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

If you’re ending 2025 with the same headshot you had in 2022, there’s a good chance it’s no longer telling the full story of who you are today.

You’ve grown. Your career has evolved. Your confidence, presence, and expertise have too.

And your headshot should reflect the current version of you — not the one from three years ago.

Here’s why an updated headshot matters:

✨ It builds trust
✨ It supports your career growth
✨ It aligns with major milestones

It’s time for a new headshot if you’ve ⬇️

✔️ Been promoted
✔️ Changed roles or industries
✔️ Stepped into leadership
✔️ Started a new business
✔️ Made a noticeable change in your appearance
✔️ Updated your personal brand
✔️ Outgrown the “old you”

✨ Bonus tip:

A good rule of thumb — if your headshot is more than 2 years old or doesn’t look like the person someone would see walking into a meeting today… it’s time.

You deserve a photo that represents who you are now — confident, polished, and stepping into your next chapter.

Here`s how I can help you elevate your business next year 👇🏻

My branding sessions go far beyond “just photos.” We’ll start with a personalized consultation to talk through your brand colors, style, and message — then plan a session that feels intentional, aligned, and true to you.

Each branding experience includes professional hair and makeup services and multiple looks, so you can capture different sides of your brand — from approachable and friendly to bold and confident.

You can choose from two session options designed to fit your goals:

✨ Basic Branding Session: 3 looks, 9 final images, and 1.5 hours of photography.

✨ Premium Branding Session: 4 looks, 12 final images, 2 hours of photography, plus a branding video to bring your story to life.

By the end, you’ll walk away with a full collection of cohesive, high-quality visuals that represent your next chapter — confident, polished, and unmistakably you.

If 2026 is your year to scale, let’s make sure your photos reflect it.

📩 Message me to start planning your branding session — I’ll take care of the details.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

So many people wait to book their headshot because they feel like they need to “fix” something first.

Lose a little weight. Clear their skin. Feel more confident. Look more put-together.

But here’s the truth:

The version of you that exists right now is already worthy of being seen.

The best headshots don’t come from perfection — they come from authenticity.

Real expression. Real connection. Real confidence… even if you don’t quite feel it walking in.

During every session, I guide you through posing, lighting, and expression so you feel relaxed, supported, and comfortable — because that’s when the magic happens. You don’t have to know what to do. You don’t have to feel “ready.” You just have to show up.

✨ If you want a headshot that feels like you, I’d love to help.

If you’re hosting a holiday party this year… there’s something you don’t want to overlook 👇🏻

Your team is already together, dressed up, and in great spirits — which makes it the perfect moment to update everyone’s headshots. No juggling schedules, no tracking people down, no pulling anyone out of meetings. Just quick, polished photos your team can pop in for, and then head right back to the party.

It’s an easy way to add value to your celebration and give your employees something they’ll actually use heading into the new year. And with my streamlined event setup (and zero admin work for you), the process is effortless from start to finish.

✨ If you’re planning a holiday party, let’s talk about adding on-site headshots.

- Do this instead 👇🏻

Most people focus on their outfit or expression — but your background plays a huge role in how others perceive you. It sets the tone for your personal brand before you even introduce yourself.

Your space tells clients what working with you feels like.

Here’s how different backdrops communicate different messages:

🏢 Corporate office → traditional, established, and formal.

🌿 Natural outdoor setting → approachable, creative, and warm.

🏙️ Urban or architectural environment → modern, edgy, and innovative.

🎨 Solid color or studio backdrop → clean, versatile, and timeless.

Even subtle shifts in tone, texture, or color can completely change the mood of your headshot — which is why the location is just as important as the lighting or pose.

And here’s the exciting part: with the help of professional AI editing, you don’t have to choose just one. We can create on-brand variations that fit different platforms — like LinkedIn, your website, or your marketing materials — while keeping your headshot cohesive and authentic.

Because when every detail works together — from your expression to your background — your headshot becomes more than a picture. It becomes your first impression.

📩 Ready to plan your next session? Message me and let’s find the backdrop that tells your brand story best.
