A great headshot should look like you on your best day, not like you’re being photographed. Lifestyle headshots are relaxed, natural and personal, shot outdoors, at a location that fits you, or in a clean studio-style setup in your own space. I guide you through the session so you look comfortable and confident, and you leave with images that work for your website, social media, press and anywhere else people meet you first.
Different people need their headshot to do different work. Here’s who I photograph.
Your face is part of your brand. A natural, current headshot gives your website, About page, LinkedIn profile and press mentions a personal touch that builds trust before anyone meets you.
Just wrote a book? I photograph authors for book jackets, press kits, author websites and publisher bios. Let me know your publisher’s requirements, including image usage, and we’ll plan the look, background and framing around them.
Casting directors and agents want to see you, not a stiff pose. I can photograph you with natural, expressive headshots for casting profiles, agency sites and your portfolio.
Press photos, streaming profiles, event listings and your website all need images that look like your work sounds. We’ll choose locations and looks that fit your style.
Whether you’re a doctor, lawyer, real estate agent, restaurant owner or consultant, a relaxed headshot helps people connect with you before the first conversation.
Don’t see yourself here? If you need a polished, natural image to represent you, this is for you. Tell me about your goals.
Headshots are a straightforward head-and-shoulders image used professionally. Portraits tend to be a bit more intimate and artistic, and they can show more of you. If you’d like a wider variety of images that show off your business and your personality, a branding session may be a better fit. And if you need matching headshots for a whole team, see my corporate headshots.
I don’t have a studio, and I think that’s an advantage. We can shoot almost anywhere: a park, a mural or waterfront in Portland, downtown streets, your office or home, or a simple studio look set up in your own space. If you’d like a different background for each look, we’ll plan the locations together.
Not only actors need headshots. Entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, real estate agents, restaurant owners, musicians and authors all benefit from a great, current headshot. People often form a first impression from your photo before they ever talk to you.
Think clean and minimal, without busy patterns that distract from your face. If you’d like more than one look, bring a few options and we’ll plan them together.
Absolutely. You’ll probably be using these images professionally, so do whatever you need to look your best and feel confident. Even men can benefit from a little grooming. I’m happy to refer great hair and makeup people.
Almost anywhere. Whether you want a studio look or something more natural in the background, we’ll choose locations that fit your needs.
As many as you need. Tell me what you have in mind and I’ll build it into your quote.
Yes. Business partners, duos and bands are welcome. The number of people is one of the things I factor into your quote.
A simple one-location, one-look session takes about 30 minutes. Sessions with multiple locations, outfit changes or more people can run a few hours.
Your retouched headshot is yours to use professionally, on your website, social media, press materials and bio. If a publisher, label, agency or other company needs the images for books, advertising or other commercial use, let me know up front so I can include the right license in your quote. See my Copyright Info page for details.
Every session is custom, and it scales to what you need. Here’s the range.
A quick, polished update for your website, LinkedIn or a bio.
For authors, musicians, actors, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs more variety, such as multiple locations, outfit changes, or more than one person.
Additional retouched images, looks and locations can be added to any session.
If a publisher, label, agency or company will be using your images, let me know up front. Usage and licensing can be included in your quote.
I quote each job individually, so tell me about your goals and what you have in mind. I’ll send a clear, custom quote and will be in touch within 24 hours. Reach out here to get started.
I’m based in SW Portland and serve the greater Portland area and Vancouver, Washington.
