When was the last time you updated your headshot? 👀

If you’re like most professionals and entrepreneurs, it’s probably been a while. The truth is, your headshot is often the very first impression someone has of you – on LinkedIn, your website, or even in that quick Zoom profile photo. And in Los Angeles, where competition is fierce, a powerful professional headshot can make all the difference.

That’s why I created my 30 minute professional headshot session in the Los Angeles area: fast, simple, and designed to actually make you stand out.

Why Most Headshots Fall Flat

Too many headshots look exactly the same; you know the ones – stiff smiles, flat lighting, generic backgrounds. That same crossed arm, uptight shot that everyone else in your area has. And while that might check the box, but it won’t help you connect with the people you’re trying to reach or to stand OUT.

Whether you’re a realtor, small business owner, or an actor breaking into the LA market, your headshot needs to reflect you. The real you .. not some overly edited version that could be mistaken for AI.

And no, you also should not be using AI for your branding photos – even if you CAN get them to look like you consistently, which isn’t easy to do. I know this seems like an easy low-lift option, but there is no LIFE in the eyes – and as amazing as the tech is, I do think we are going to see a pull away from overly perfect looking AI photos.

With over 20 years of experience photographing thousands of clients, I make sure your images are not cookie-cutter – and there really is no substitute for a real person who is a professional at posing, directing you – small shifts in angles make a BIG difference that not everyone sees.

You can rest assured that your headshot session with me is about pulling out your personality, confidence, and professionalism so your headshot doesn’t blend into the crowd.

What Happens in a 30 Minute Professional Headshot Session

I know your time is valuable and that you probably don’t want to get these done. That’s why this process is streamlined into four simple steps:

  1. Book Your Session Online:  You can grab your 30 minute session HERE – dates are populated monthly. Once you book, you receive an email immediately with the address to the studio as well as information on how to prep for your session.  If you need more help, we can also hop on a quick zoom or phone call or you can text me; I want you to feel prepped and ready!
  2. Arrival + Quick Consult: We’ll talk about your goals, how you’ll be using your headshots, and choose the right looks for you. Feel free to bring extra clothing items and I’ll help you narrow things down. (The email I send you will help you with what to wear).

  3. In-Studio Shoot: With professional lighting and guided posing, we’ll capture a variety of angles and expressions so you get options that feel authentic. You don’t need to worry about a THING; I want you to feel relaxed and to have fun.

  4. Proofs + Selection: Within 24 hours, you’ll receive an online gallery of proofs but these will be edited – I want you to see the images as they will look in their final form – you shouldn’t have to guess what they’ll look like.  (Most photographers will not edit your images before you receive the final ones). You’ll select your two favorites and request any additional retouching (which is included), with the option to purchase more if you’d like.  Then you’ll receive your final images via Dropbox within 48 hours.

That’s it—no stress, no hours in front of the camera. Just professional headshots in 30 minutes that you’ll actually love.
