This is for you even if…
You often feel awkward when having your photo taken and never know how to “smile naturally.”
You want to lose 10 lb, have acne, or have nothing suitable to wear.
You consider yourself “not photogenic.”
I specialize in helping people relax and have fun, so these natural expressions happen all by themselves. I also believe that there is no such thing as “not photogenic”—With the right lighting and choice of body positioning, camera angles, everyone can look their best on camera.
What to expect
Booking your date
After you contact me, we will decide on a date, and I’ll send you a link for a retainer to purchase and a client agreement to sign.
Then I’ll send you a short questionnaire to learn what is important to you in your headshots.
I’ll also send you my “Get Ready Guide” with lots of tips and tricks so you can start planning your wardrobe, make a hair appointment, etc.
Enjoying your Session
When we meet on location, we’ll first decide together which of the outfits you brought will look best on camera.
Then we’ll slowly ease into our fun session: I’ll help you relax and guide you towards the angles that look best for your features. We’ll move around the location to get different settings, and you’ll swap out some tops, add jackets, etc.
Periodically I’ll show you some of the photos to make sure they are spot on.
Delighting in your New Headshots
After a week or two, I’ll send you a proof gallery with the best shots from the session.
All you have to do is “heart” your favorites and let me know when you made your final decision.
I’ll polish those – typically within 10 days - and you can take care of the balance while downloading your ZIP file with the JPG files.
After that? You’ll enjoy using your beautiful new headshots and show them off everywhere.

“Since I put up my new profile photo the number of people contacting me on social media almost tripled. Really valuable leads. The photo session was super easy too - and I don’t particularly like to have my picture taken.”
