Headshots for Individuals
“The Perfect Professional Headshot Is Worth $$$, and Maybe Even a Job”
-The Wall Street Journal, August 2022
Stress-Free Headshots That Speak For Themselves
“I’m not photogenic.”
“Everyone else on my team is 20 years younger than me.”
“My last headshot was 15 years ago.”
Yes, getting in front of the camera can be intimidating.
But my studio is a haven. A judgment-free zone. A place where you can be yourself. And create images that are flattering. Photos that show your competence and approachability. Where people will be impressed with your professionalism and energy.
When you come to my studio, we’ll talk about the background of your shoot and your objectives. I’ve prepared several short videos on how to prepare for your headshot that will help you feel more confident and relaxed.
I’ll direct you through a series of poses. Don’t worry, I’ll help you figure out what to do with your hands and make sure your hair is in place. As we move through the session your images are transferred immediately to my iPad, where we review them as we go along. This gives you the chance to make adjustments to your pose, hair, or attire, and makes you a true collaborator in the headshot session.
In 2023 I photographed over 400 headshots. I have a special niche with authors and writers who need headshots for book covers and promotions. My studio’s proximity to Johns Hopkins University means I’m super convenient for professors and academics. And well-known celebrities like mystery writer Laura Lippman have been known to stop by for updated photos.
