For Individual Professionals
A headshot that shows you at your best, photographed with professional lighting, direction and retouching included. For LinkedIn profiles, speaker bios, press features and personal branding across Maryland and Washington DC.
Why It Matters
Recruiters, clients and event organizers look at your photo before they read your profile. A photo taken at arm's length, or cropped from a vacation picture, says something about you, and it is rarely what you intend.
A professional headshot puts your most capable, approachable self in front of people first. Whether you are changing jobs, building a practice or preparing for a speaking engagement, it is one of the quickest upgrades you can make to how you are seen.
Every Session Includes
I arrange a suitable location for your session and confirm it when you schedule, so there is nothing for you to find or book.
Professional lighting shaped for your face, with a clean backdrop that keeps the attention on you and not the room behind you.
Bring several outfits and change during the session. I help you choose what works best on camera.
Direction on posture, angle and expression throughout the session. You do not need to be photogenic or comfortable in front of a camera.
Review your images during the session and choose more than one final, so you have options for LinkedIn, your website and press.
Every final image is retouched to look clean and natural. The goal is the best version of you, not a different person.
Who This Is For
A current, professional photo for LinkedIn and applications when you are moving into a new role or industry.
Leadership and consulting headshots for company websites, proposals and speaker materials.
Photos for conference programs, book jackets, podcasts and press kits.
Client-facing professionals who need a photo that builds trust before the first conversation.
Actor headshots are available. Mention it when you book so I can plan the session.
One consistent, professional image for your website, social profiles and marketing.
The Process
Fill out the form below and tell me what the photos are for. LinkedIn, a speaker bio, an acting submission or a rebrand each call for something a little different.
I reply with available dates and confirm the location for your session.
I direct your pose and expression and review images with you as you go. Bring a few outfit options.
You select your final images with my guidance. Each one is retouched and delivered to you.
How to Prepare
A little preparation makes the session easier and the images better.
Solid, mid-tone colors photograph best. Avoid small patterns and stripes, which can look busy on camera.
Pack two or three outfits that fit well and feel like you. I help you pick what works best.
Stick to your usual grooming and skip anything new on the day of your session. Bring your glasses if you wear them.
LinkedIn crops your photo to a small circle, so your face has to carry it. Tell me where the image will be used and I will frame it for that.
Common Questions
Professional lighting, a clean backdrop, direction on your expression and professional retouching make the difference. A phone photo has none of them, and the gap shows at the small size LinkedIn uses.
No. Most people feel awkward at the start. I coach you through each pose and check the images with you during the session.
I arrange the location and confirm it when you schedule. You do not need to find or book anything.
Yes. For groups, I come to your office, which is simpler for you and keeps every image consistent. See corporate and team headshots.
Yes. Actor headshots are available. Mention it in your request so I can plan the session.
