DO I NEED A PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOT?

Yes! In today’s world where so much business is done online, a professional headshot is your digital calling card, and more important than a traditional business card. It can make the difference between being seen or overlooked.headshot photography

WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF GETTING A HEADSHOT LIKE?

All photographers work a bit differently. My process is collaborative, entheusiastic, and fun! During your headshot session show you the images in real time to make sure you love the images we create together.headshot photography

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HEADSHOT AND A PORTRAIT?

Different photographers will define headshots and portraits in slightly different ways, but I consider a head-and-shoulders photo a headshot, and anything from a half-length to full-length photo a portrait.

SHOULD I HAVE MY HAIR DONE BEFORE MY HEADSHOT SESSION?

Yes! For ladies, I recommend having your hair done the day of the shoot for best results. For men, it’s best to get a haircut a day or two before your session to ensure that your hair settles and doesn’t have spikey edges as is sometimes the case with a fresh cut. If you have no hair at all, that’s no problem either! I have special techniques I use for my folically challenged clients.portrait photography

Do you capture family photos?

Absolutely. Capturing family photographs is something I genuinely enjoy. While some photographers might consider this part of the day less exciting, I approach it with enthusiasm and creativity. I ensure the process is enjoyable and anything but monotonous. I’ll organize everything, and the session will be brief, lasting only a few minutes. After that, it’s back to the festivities and celebration!
