Professional headshots, personal branding images, and portraits are the studio specialties.  

🔹Personal Branding - When you need to revamp your website or you need varied visual content for social media personal branding is what you need. A personal branding session features a collection of professional images designed to highlight the one thing a competitor can’t copy....you. Don’t think this session needs to be all about blazers, suits and ties. If you make candles in overalls, or rock a beekeepers suit, these are components of your brand and they should be captured. 

🔹Headshots - Sometimes a headshot is all you need. Whether it’s an email signature or a profile image we’ve got you covered. We don’t oversimplify this aspect of our work however. The right head position, expression, and lighting pattern can take a headshot from ok to...oookaaaay! 
*Most clients get board with their headshot after about 3 months so we recommend 2 images so that you don’t have to resort to swapping out your professional image with a selfie for variety.

🔹Portrait - We use words like legacy, timeless, and archival to describe the portraits we create for our clients. Feel what it’s like to be treated like a celebrity for a day. We partner with some of the best professional hair and makeup artists in the city to make you look and feel amazing while in front of the camera. You can also take advantage of our ever growing studio wardrobe if you care to glam up your photoshoot a bit!

Photographer - Owner

I help entrepreneurs and small businesses owners show the best version of themselves through a curated photo experience. My mission is to work with professionals and aid them in their efforts to step confidently and enthusiastically into their own power and be the face of their brands.

As a headshot photographer, I understand the importance of creating a powerful image that communicates your professionalism and personality. Whether you need a headshot for your website, email signature, or social media profile, I will work with you to create an image that represents you at your best.
I take a unique approach to headshots, ensuring that the right head position, expression, and lighting pattern are used to take your headshot from "ok" to "oookaaaay!" And because most clients get bored with their headshot after about 3 months, I recommend getting at least two images so that you can switch them out for variety.
