A fresh start calls for a fresh look; especially in your professional life. What does your current headshot say about you?
If it’s been years since your last professional headshot or you’re still using that selfie from vacation three years ago 🤦♀️, now is the perfect time to upgrade. A polished, professional headshot sends a message: you’re serious about what you do, you value your professional image, and you are ready to make you mark.
Why Should You Update Your Headshot?
Fair or not, within seconds of seeing your image, people form an impression of you. A professional headshot isn’t just about looking good; it is about showcasing your confidence, approachability, and personality. This is a big job for a single image!
If you’re job hunting, networking, updating your LinkedIn profile, or leveling up your career, a fresh, new headshot can open doors before you even step into the room.
Stress-Free Studio Headshot in Washington DC
Most people (including myself) get nervous just thinking about a headshot session. That’s really saying something coming from a headshot photographer! Most of us worry, “Where should I put my hands?” “Should I smile?” “Should I wear my glasses?” “What should I wear?” You’re far from alone in your worries.
With an experienced photographer, you don’t have to worry about how to stand, what to wear, or whether your expression looks natural. My job is to guide you through the process with poses and lighting that bring out your best. I create an experience that is quick, efficient, AND enjoyable. For real.
Not Your Boring Headshot Experience
You are the star of the show. Yes, you’re the one who makes your headshot shine. You don’t just walk in and we start taking photos. We chat a little bit. I’m not going to pry into your personal life, but I will ask what sort of work you do, what the office environment is (individual contributor or teams), the emotions you want to communicate (friendly, serious, relaxed) through your headshot. We review your images as we go and keep adjusting until the shots look and feel like you.
I choose to photograph people because I find people interesting. It really is a pleasure for me to get to know you a little. I can honestly say that every client I’ve photographed has had an interesting story – a story that deserves to be told through your professional headshot.
