professional headshots to put your best face forward
Have you been avoiding getting a headshot like a trip to the dentist? The thought of a camera up close & personal can make even the most confident person self-conscious about their appearance. Almost everyone who walks into my studio tells me they’re either not photogenic or don’t like the way they look in pictures. So if you feel that way, you’re not alone. Now, take a deep breath. You’ve come to the right place.

I promise to honor & respect your concerns about how you look. No judgment.
I promise to let the world revolve around you. As far as I’m concerned you are the “most talented, most interesting, most extraordinary person in the universe”.

Invest in yourself
A professional headshot is an investment that can open doors to new connections. With a great headshot, every day is a good hair day and every smile is warm & approachable. Presenting yourself on your terms — you at your very best — places you in control of your personal & professional reputation. If you want to leave a lasting impression and connect with new opportunities, put your best face forward.
Stand out
You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. When a click is all it takes to lose someone’s attention, your profile photo is the key to welcoming people to connect. A good headshot captures the glint in your eyes and the shape of your smile. It conveys your personality and what makes you special. If you want to stand out from the crowd, a professional headshot is the best place to begin.
Linkedin Headshot
A headshot is more than just a pretty face. It can be seen online by hundreds or thousands of people per day. As more of our lives go online you might never even meet important people in your life face to face. For them, the headshot is who you are. Luckily, the headshot you’ll get from me will bring out your best.

corporate headshot
Professional headshots for everyone in your organization can ensure consistency and quality in employee portraits. I have offered my services to law firms, healthcare providers, real estate agencies, and more to help them achieve a unified brand image and complete staff directory.
Professional headshot
My clients all share something in common: they don’t settle for less than the best. That’s why they choose the best headshot photographer between Boston & New York. But don’t take my word for it. My portfolio & reviews speak for themselves. Then decide for yourself: Do you want the best?
BUSINESS PORTRAITS
“I don’t want anyone to notice how special I am” said no one ever. If you want a higher profile job or more clients you’ll need to stand out from the competition. A headshot that conveys approachability and confidence will show the world that you’re a success, and everyone loves a winner.
Whether you choose to smile or prefer a serious expression, your business headshot will exude quality and professionalism.
The bottom line is you can’t get to a close without a good open. Investing in a professional headshot ensures you’ll get a return on first impressions.
PERSONAL BRANDING
No matter whether you’re an actor, model, entrepreneur, or student you’ve got a personal brand to manage. And it all starts with first impressions. If you’re shooting for the stars, shouldn’t you look like one?
If you’re on stage, chances are there’s a Playbill or program with your face in it. You might even be on the cover. So, a theatrical headshot isn’t just about your comp card, it’s about what your audience takes home.
My headshot photography studio has the best lighting in the business, and I will be your acting coach as I help pose you for the camera.
CORPORATE IDENTITY
Corporate headshots aren’t just for the employees of large companies. They’re also for doctor’s offices, law firms, real estate agencies, non-profits, and any organization with a staff that cares about its image.
Company headshots are about branding and team cohesion. With a consistent quality & composition, you can be sure that they will burnish your brand and help bring your team together.
I am happy to take team headshots of your staff on location, as well as environmental portraits of employees and group photos.

Raise Your Profile
My headshots have helped clients ask for a promotion, attract new customers, get their application accepted, sell more, and raise their professional profiles. Beyond careers, my headshots have helped folks feel like a new person, get noticed online, and go on more dates.
Face of Your Brand
For corporate accounts, high quality images that are regularly updated for printing on employee badges are in fact a sensible safety & security precaution. For remote & virtual teams, headshots are an irreplaceable lifeline of connection since they may never meet face to face.
Your Best Self
Time and again, I’ve seen that a headshot is more than a headshot when you see your best self reflected back at you. Looking and feeling good about yourself can be a transformational experience that only leads to bigger and better things!
