HEADSHOTS

& LIFESTYLE PORTRAITS

A headshot isn’t just an image—it’s a glimpse into your story, your essence, and your personality. My mission is to create photographs that embrace you, bringing out your vibrant personality through a thoughtful and fully personalized photography experience.

 

Whether you’re a business professional looking to elevate your image, an artist showcasing your craft, a small business owner expanding your audience, or someone ready to refresh your social or dating profile, your photo speaks volumes. In this digital age, it’s more than just a picture—it’s your narrative and your personal branding.

Let’s work together to create timeless, elevated portraits that reflect not only what you do, but who you are.

The Process

1 / Get in touch

To get started, browse my packages and submit an inquiry form right on the website. All photo sessions are fully customizable for your needs. If you have a special request feel free to include that in the form as well. Once I receive your inquiry, I’ll send you a link to finalize your booking. If you have any questions along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out!

2 / Planning

Once we’re all booked, we’ll schedule a planning consultation via phone or Zoom. We will get to know each other and discuss your visions, consult locations and clothing recommendations. After this session, I’ll send you a guide with helpful tips to get you prepped for the shoot. If we’re collaborating on a vision board, we can also touch base the day before the shoot to ensure everything is ready to go!

3 / The Photoshoot

Now it’s time for the fun part—let’s capture those authentic moments! I’ll guide you through poses to make you feel confident and comfortable, but I’m also super collaborative. If you have any ideas you want to try, I’m all for it—nothing is too silly, let’s make this experience enjoyable and creative!

4 / Gallery Delivery

After the shoot, I’ll carefully review the images and select the best ones for editing. I’ll adjust colors, lighting, and exposure to align with your personal brand while keeping everything natural and authentic. Your high-resolution files will be delivered in a password-protected online gallery, where you can view, share, and download them for up to one year. You’ll also have the option to order prints directly from the gallery or download the files to use with your preferred printing service. All images include unlimited personal printing rights.

5 / Detailed Retouching

If your package includes retouching, you’ll make your picks from the gallery and share any specific requests. I believe great photos should capture the authenticity of life—you’re beautiful just as you are! But I also understand that we’re often our own toughest critics. I’ll take care of minor tweaks to enhance your natural beauty and ensure the images reflect the best version of you. For product or environmental shots, I’ll do my best to accommodate specific requests to meet your needs.

FAQ

Where should we shoot?

The location should be meaningful to you! I have a few favorite spots I can suggest, but I'm always open to brainstorming together to find the perfect place. If you’re a business owner, we can also consider locations around your business or office. Want something a bit more controlled? We can always reserve a studio for that clean, professional look!

What should I wear?

Once you’re booked, I’ll send over a welcome packet with all the details, including style tips to help you feel confident and look your best for the shoot!

What if I’m camera shy?

You’re not alone—trust me! As someone who’s spent most of my time behind the camera, I get how nerve-wracking it can be to be in front of it. It’s totally normal to feel a bit self-conscious, but that’s exactly why I’m here to make you feel at ease. I’ll guide you through every step, offer fun and relaxed suggestions, and be your personal cheerleader, so you can just enjoy the process and let your true personality shine.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes, a 50% deposit is required upon booking to reserve your session.

 
What is your photo editing process?

After the shoot, I’ll select the best images and adjust colors, lighting, and exposure to reflect your personal brand while keeping everything natural. You’ll receive your online gallery with all your files with downloading rights. If retouching is included in your package, you can make your picks and let me know any specific requests. I believe in minimal retouching for portraits—just enough to enhance your natural beauty, with minor tweaks to ensure you look and feel your best.

 
How do I receive my images?

You’ll receive a password-protected online gallery where you can easily download your high-res files and even order prints directly from the gallery. Simple and secure!

 
What if I want more images retouched?

No problem! If you'd like additional images retouched, I can add that service at $40/image. Just let me know after the shoot, and we’ll make sure you get the polished look you’re after!

Can we do the shoot in a photo studio?

Absolutely! A portrait studio can be reserved as an add-on for $75/hour. Let me know if you’d like this option, and we can incorporate it into your session planning.
