It’s one of the most common things I hear from professionals before a headshot session:
“I’ve just never liked how I look in photos.”

And it doesn’t matter what industry they’re in—tech, law, finance, creative fields—the sentiment is the same. Some people have never had a professional headshot. Others simply feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. Some are shy, self-critical, or unsure of how to pose. I get it. Being photographed can feel awkward or even vulnerable.

But here’s the truth:
It’s my job to make you feel confident, comfortable, and at ease—so you actually love how you look in the final images.

A Real-Life Example: A Women’s Law Association

I remember photographing headshots for a women’s law association at Pepperdine University. Some of the women stepped in front of the camera with total confidence—they loved it! Others were a bit more reserved, hesitant, or unsure of how they’d look. But by the end of the session, something changed.

Through gentle direction, positive encouragement, and taking the time to make each person feel at ease, every participant walked away with polished, professional headshots they were proud of. Even those who started out nervous saw how great they looked. That transformation—seeing someone shift from doubt to confidence—is the most rewarding part of my job.

What to Expect from a Headshot Session

As a professional headshot photographer, I do more than just press the shutter. I create an experience that’s:

• Low-stress: No rush, no pressure—just a relaxed pace and a calm environment.
• Collaborative: We’ll work together to find your best angles, expressions, and overall look.
• Comfortable: I guide you through the session so you’re never left wondering what to do.
• Fun (yes, fun!): Most clients tell me afterward, “That was way easier than I expected.”

You don’t need to be photogenic or experienced in front of the camera. You just need someone who knows how to bring out your best.

If You’re Hesitating, I Get It

If you’ve been putting off new headshots because you’re worried you won’t like the way you look—let’s talk. I’ll take the time to understand your concerns, guide you through the session, and make sure you’re thrilled with the results.

I help professionals look like their best selves: confident, approachable, and ready to take on the next big opportunity.
