The Headshot
Experience
Relaxed, Natural Images that Reveal the True You.
Your headshot is often the first impression someone has of you, on your website, your LinkedIn profile, or in the program from an event where you’re speaking.
If you believe in making first impressions count (I do!), then you’ll want your personality and natural warmth to shine through in your headshots.
CORPORATE & LIFESTYLE HEADSHOTS IN ALEXANDRIA, VA
A Twofold Approach to Headshots
When you hear the word “headshots,” you likely think of images with business attire and a neutral backdrop, showing the subject from the shoulders up. These are what I call traditional headshots; ideal for more formal or corporate contexts.
Lifestyle headshots, on the other hand, are a chance to reveal more of your natural warmth and personality through relaxed poses, props, and a more casual backdrop. They’re well suited for social media profiles, speaking engagements, and other, less formal, settings.
Despite what you may think, headshots don’t have to be as dry as a week-old slice of birthday cake. Let’s have some fun!

HOW IT WORKS
Start the conversation
Starting with a consultation call, this is my chance to learn more about what you are looking for, and your chance to make sure we go together like coffee and a croissant!
For team and corporate headshots, this is an open invitation to share about your company culture and the brand values that you want to evoke in your team’s headshots.
Styling and planning
Once you’ve booked your headshot shoot, I’ll send over a detailed questionnaire as well as my Headshot Guide, which is full of advice on styling as well as tips on what to do (and not to do!) in preparation for your shoot.
Your headshot shoot
If you think you’d rather visit the dentist than get headshots taken, take a deep breath. I promise it'll be more fun than you think (even if you don’t get a free toothbrush at the end).

Frequently asked questions
Q: Do you offer different backdrops?
Yes, the studio I use in Old Town Alexandria features traditional, solid-colored backdrops, as well as a relaxed lifestyle area for styled headshots. I also own several hand-painted backdrops that we can consider using.
We may also be able to take your headshots on location at your place of business in or near Alexandria, just let me know when you inquire.
Q: Can you come to our place of business to take headshots of our whole team?
Absolutely, when you inquire with me, let me know where you’re located and your overall headcount.
If you need photos of your location, product photography, or other brand imagery, we can also fit team headshots into a half- or full-day branding shoot.
Q: In addition to headshots, can we get some full-body shots?
Yes! When we meet for a consultation call, please let me know if you need more than the above-the-shoulder photos and what you plan to use them for. It's possible that what you really need is a brand shoot!
