One of the few things your business will invest in is executive headshot and personal branding photography, yet it will repeatedly pay dividends. Great photography’s impact on your social media campaigns, web pages, and communications is immeasurable. Conversely, I will tell you that poor photography can have a tangible impact on current and future successes. Show the best version of yourself to potential employers, clients, and the community.

Photographs tell a story. When a photographer looks through the lens, we see more than the person standing there. We see truth, honesty, and your role in your business. I began as a wedding and family photographer, capturing life’s great moments from the wedding day to your child’s high school graduation. Over time, my portfolio of services bloomed, and I was asked to photograph professional headshots, personal branding, and commercial photography.
Building personal connections with my clients before a photo session allows me to create photographs that make a strong, professional first impression on clients, employers, and the public. You only have one chance at making a first impression!
