You Only Get One Chance to Make a First Impression

Headshot & Branding Photography in Washington DC

Make it Great!

What does your current headshot say about you?

Fair or not, people form an impression within seconds of seeing your photo - before they know anything about you. If your headshot is a selfie or a snapshot from a New Year's Eve party, people might think you are not serious about your profession, that you are unreliable, or that you lack attention to detail. A professional headshot sends a clear message that you value your professional image and take your work seriously.

The problem is that nobody loves having headshots taken. Most people are a uncomfortable and a little nervous in front of the camera. I don't love it either! Just like me, you know all your little imperfections, you don't know how to stand or what to do with your hands, if you should smile or not, and you worry that your expression won't be natural. It's a lot of pressure!

It can feel a bit like going to the dentist ... you know you have to go, but you don't want to.

It doesn't have to be this way!

As a professional photographer, I have spent many hours learning how to pose and light my clients so they look their very best. With the right guidance and support, getting your headshots taken can be an easy and efficient experience that gives your confidence a boost.

"Lisa made the process of getting a headshot professional and creative. She encouraged me to consider what I hoped to communicate with my headshot. I work in a client-facing industry so these sorts of things were really helpful to explore. I would recommend Lisa Maco to anyone looking for a photograph, especially a professional headshot."

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Yes, I retouch every image before I deliver it to you. It typically involves removing minor blemishes and color correction.

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.
