Questions? We have answers!

  • Great question — your outfit plays a big role in how confident you'll feel on camera. I recommend solid colors, classic fits, and pieces that reflect your personal style but still feel polished. Avoid busy patterns and logos, and bring a couple of options just in case. If you're unsure, I’m happy to give feedback on your outfit choices before the shoot!

    Pro tip: Neutrals, jewel tones, and layered textures look amazing in photos.

  • You are not alone — almost everyone feels that way! It’s my job to guide you through natural, flattering poses so you never feel unsure or stiff. I’ll give you direction the entire time, so there’s no guesswork. We’ll keep it fun and relaxed — and I promise we’ll capture your best side without the awkwardness.

    Think of it like a conversation with a camera — not a modeling gig.

  • Absolutely — all final images include natural retouching for things like blemishes, undereye circles, and minor distractions like lint or stray hairs. The goal is to keep you looking like you, just your best and most confident version. I don’t over-edit or use heavy filters — authenticity always comes first.

  • We can shoot either in my studio, on-location, or even at your office — depending on your brand and what you’re comfortable with. I’ll send you a detailed prep email with the address, directions, what to bring, and exactly what to expect when you arrive. No surprises — just good vibes.

  • Headshot sessions usually takes about 30 minutes, depending on how many looks or locations we’re covering. I always leave buffer time so you never feel rushed. The experience is efficient but never hurried — we take the time to get it right and make you feel great doing it. Portrait sessions vary in length, but are usually between 60 and 90 minutes.

  • Of course! If having a friend, partner, or colleague there helps you feel more comfortable, you’re more than welcome to bring someone. Just let me know in advance so we can plan the space and keep things running smoothly.escription

  • My job is to help you see yourself the way others do — confident, capable, and real. I’ll coach you throughout the shoot to bring out your best expressions, and you’ll have a say in which images you want edited. I’m committed to making sure you love the final results, and I’m here to support you through the process.

    Most people walk in nervous and walk out surprised by how good they feel!
