A good headshot does not shout.
It does not flatten you into a version you do not recognize.
It simply lets you arrive as you are on a good day with good light.
I make headshots for people who want to look like themselves. Founders. Creatives. Therapists. Actors. Coaches. Parents returning to work. Humans building something.
Natural light. Calm energy. No stiff posing. No pretending.
Just you, looking like you belong.
WHAT A HEADSHOT SESSION FEELS LIKE
You show up. We talk for a minute. You breathe.
I guide you gently. Where to stand. Where to look. What to do with your hands.
You do not need to know how to pose. That is my job.
Most people say some version of “I hate having my photo taken.”
Almost all of them leave surprised.
BRING YOUR PET
Some people are calmer with their dog at their feet.
Some people soften when a cat curls into their lap.
Some smiles only show up when someone they love is nearby.
You are welcome to bring your pet to your headshot session.
Small animals with good manners and kind energy.
If they are part of your life, they can be part of your photo.
These sessions are not about novelty. They are about truth.
About who you are when you feel most like yourself.
I’ll guide both of you. We’ll keep it relaxed.
We’ll make something that feels natural, not staged.
Pet-inclusive headshots work beautifully for:
• Therapists and healers
• Creatives and artists
• Founders and small business owners
• Anyone whose work is personal, human, and relational

GROUP & TEAM HEADSHOTS
On location headshots for small businesses, teams, and organizations.
I have extensive experience photographing large businesses, nonprofits, and institutions, including executive teams, board members, and staff across multiple departments. These sessions are designed to be efficient, respectful of everyone’s time, and easy to roll out within a working office environment.
I bring a full mobile setup and can photograph individuals one by one in a consistent, flattering style, or adapt the look to suit your brand and space. Whether you’re updating a website, preparing for a report or press release, or refreshing LinkedIn profiles across a team, I’ll help make the process smooth and organized.
Custom quotes are based on team size, location, and scope.

ARTIST PORTRAITS
Some artists want a clean headshot. Others want to be photographed where the work lives.
These portraits are made with intention. Artists photographed with their hands, their tools, their materials. In studios, workshops, and quiet corners where ideas take shape.
Quilters with their quilts. Painters with paint still drying. Sculptors, writers, makers of all kinds.
This isn’t about performance. It’s about presence.
Artist portraits can be styled or documentary, simple or layered. Always honest. Always grounded in who you are and how you work.
If your practice is part of your identity, your portrait should reflect that. These sessions can take place in the studio, at home, or on location wherever the work feels most alive.
Portrait of internationally awarded quilter and educator Lorena Uriarte, photographed with one of her quilts.
