The Headshot
Experience
Confident, Professional Headshots that feel like 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.
Through a relaxed guided process, we'll create images that reflect your personality, support your goals, and help you show up with confidence.

A Twofold Approach to Headshots
Not all headshots serve the same purpose.
Some professionals need a clean, traditional headshot for corporate websites, board directories, legal profiles or company publications. These images are polished, professional and designed to establish credibility at a glance.
Lifestyle headshots, on the other hand, allow more of your warmth and natural personality to shine through. Created in an relaxed environment and often incorporating elements of your work or surroundings, they're ideal for speakers, entrepreneurs and professionals who want to create a strong connection with their audience.
Whether you need a traditional headshot, a lifestyle headshot or a combination of both, we'll create a collection of headshots that align with your goals and help you show-up with confidence.

FAQ
Q: Do you offer different backdrops?
Q: what should i wear for my headshot session?
Yes, the studio in Alexandria offers both traditional backdrop options and a relaxed lifestyle setting. I also have several hand-painted backdrops available for a more customized look.
In general, I recommend choosing clothing that feels polished, fits well, and reflects how you would like to be perceived professionally. Solid colors and subtle patterns tend to photograph best. Before your session, you'll have the opportunity to send me photos of your outfit options. I'll help you narrow them down to the strongest choices so you can arrive feeling confident and fully prepared.
Q: Can you come to our place of business to take headshots of our whole team?
Absolutely, when you inquire, let me know where you’re located and how many team members need to be photographed. I can photograph teams on location to create a consistent look across the entire company.
If you also need photos of your workspace, team interactions, or other marketing imagery, we can discuss incorporating those into the shoot as well.
Q: In addition to headshots, can we get some full-body shots?
Yes! When we meet for a consultation call, let me know if you require more than traditional headshots and how you plan to use the images. Depending on your goals, we may incorporate full-body portraits into your headshot session, or you may benefit from a brand photography session that provides greater variety and flexibility.
