Polished, Natural Headshots for Washington, DC Professionals
Feel Prepared - Look Confident - Get Noticed
What does your current headshot say about you?
First impressions matter. Your headshot is often the very first people see of you. A professional, polished image shows you take your career seriously and care about the way you present yourself to colleagues, clients, and employers.
If your current headshot is a casual snapshot or selfie, it could send the message that you’re not fully invested in your profession or that you don't pay attention to details. A high-quality headshot communicates reliability, confidence, and approachability, which are essential qualities in today’s competitive market.
I understand that having your photo taken can be intimidating. You might worry about how to pose, the best expression, or simply feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. You’re not alone. Most people begin a session this way. That’s why I provide expert guidance every step of the way, helping you relax, finding your best angles, and capturing natural expressions that show confidence.
Your session will be efficient, enjoyable, and tailored to your needs, ensuring you leave with images that represent you and your brand. You'll be proud to use these images on LinkedIn, on your company websites, and in press materials.
Wondering How to Prepare?
With years of experience in professional lighting and posing, I know how to showcase your best features and create images that reflect your personality and professional brand. When you have the right guidance and support, updating your headshots becomes a smooth, stress-free process and gives a powerful boost to your confidence.

"I consider myself one of the least photogenic people
on the planet. However, Lisa helped bring out and capture a natural
image for my professional branding that I’m actually proud to show off.
She was thoughtful and meticulous in finding the lighting, angle, and
pose to get the best shot of this stiff and awkward gal! I was in
desperate need of something other than the anonymous blank default
bubble on my LinkedIn profile, but amateur pictures were so unsatisfying.
I was ready to resort to AI headshot services when I was fortunate
enough to be connected with Lisa Maco Photography through Portraits for
Patriots. I’m so glad that I was!"

"Lisa made the process of getting a headshot professional and creative. She encouraged me to consider what I hoped to communicate with my headshot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should women wear makeup for a headshot?
For headshots, natural-looking makeup can enhance your features and give you a polished appearance. Avoid makeup styles that are completely different from your normal professional appearance. Opt for a clean, well-groomed look that accentuates your best features while maintaining a professional aesthetic.
Will my headshot be retouched?
Yes, I retouch every image before I deliver it to you. It typically involves removing minor blemishes and color correction.
How long will the session be?
I strive to be efficient with your time. The session will last at most an hour, but typically about 30 minutes. We try a few different poses to see what looks best, then we go for the best expressions in that pose. If you want multiple looks, it will take more time.
