A headshot has a job to do
Your professional headshot is not just another picture.
Most people will see the digital you long before they meet the real one. A client sizing you up. A hiring manager. Someone deciding whether to take the meeting. Your headshot is doing that work whether it’s a good one or not.
A great one reads as confident, capable, and worth knowing. A dated or careless one quietly works against you. The good news is you don’t have to figure out how to deliver that on camera. That’s my job. I’ll direct you through the whole thing, and if you’ve never felt photogenic in your life, that changes nothing about the result.
I’ve got you.
