Let’s Make This Fun
If the thought of standing in front of a camera makes you immediately wonder, “Wait… what do I do with my hands?” you’re in good company.
Almost every single person tells me they’re awkward in photos.
Almost every single person leaves saying, “That was actually way more fun than I expected.”
My job isn’t just to take a nice photo. It’s to help you feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself. We’ll laugh, chat, move around, and before you know it, you’ll completely forget you’re being photographed.
No modeling experience required. Promise.
Before Your Session
The best headshots happen when you’re feeling rested, prepared, and not rushing through your day.
A few things that help:
• Drink plenty of water the day before.
• Get a good night’s sleep.
• Eat something before your session. Hangry isn’t a professional look.
• Give yourself extra travel time so you arrive relaxed instead of sprinting across the parking lot.
What Should I Wear?
Think about how you want people to remember you.
Are you polished and corporate?
Creative and approachable?
Luxury and elevated?
Friendly and relatable?
Choose clothing that reflects your brand and the clients you want to attract.
A few favorites:
• Solid colors photograph beautifully.
• Layers add variety.
• Well-fitted clothing almost always photographs better than oversized pieces.
• Keep patterns simple and avoid busy prints that compete for attention.
Bring two or three outfit options if you’d like a little variety. We’ll decide together what photographs best.
Hair & Makeup
This is completely your choice, but many clients enjoy having professional hair and makeup done because it gives them an extra boost of confidence.
If you’re doing your own makeup, think slightly more polished than your everyday look. Cameras naturally soften makeup, so a little extra definition goes a long way.
For hair, don’t try a brand new style the morning of your session. Your favorite version of yourself is usually the best one.
The Little Details
These tiny things make a surprisingly big difference.
• Steam or iron your clothes.
• Clean your glasses if you wear them.
• Trim facial hair a day or two beforehand if needed.
• Moisturize your skin and lips.
• Remove phones, keys, wallets, bulky hair ties, and anything creating awkward pocket bulges.
Yes… I notice these things.
Bring Your Brand to Life
If you’re using these images for your business, bring a few items that tell your story.
Maybe that’s your laptop.
Your camera.
A coffee mug.
Flowers.
Sketchbook.
Tools.
Notebook.
Whatever naturally fits your work and personality.
The goal isn’t to stage your life. It’s to give people a glimpse of the real person behind the business.
During Your Session
You do not need to know how to pose.
That’s my job.
I’ll guide you every step of the way with simple direction that feels natural—not stiff or overly posed.
We’ll move, laugh, adjust, chat, and find the angles that feel the most like you.
And yes…
I’ll absolutely tell you what to do with your hands.
Trust the Process
The first five minutes are usually everyone’s least favorite.
Then something shifts.
You relax.
The nerves disappear.
Your personality comes out.
That’s when the magic happens.
Those are the photographs people connect with.
After Your Session
Within a few days, you’ll receive your online gallery where you can select your favorite images.
From there, I’ll professionally refine your selections while keeping everything looking natural and true to you.
No heavy filters.
No trendy edits.
Just polished, timeless photographs you’ll feel excited to use everywhere from your website and LinkedIn profile to social media, speaking events, marketing materials, and beyond.
I Can’t Wait to Meet You
Thank you for trusting me with your story.
Whether you’re launching a new business, refreshing your brand, celebrating a career milestone, or simply updating that photo from eight years ago (you know the one), I’m excited to create images that feel genuine, confident, and unmistakably you.
We’ll have some fun, share a few laughs, and create photographs you’ll actually be excited to share.
