The Problem
A standard headshot doesn't tell the whole story.
You operate at a level where people know your name before they meet you. Your photo shows up in press features, speaking bureau listings, company bios, and LinkedIn. When the image is generic, it underestimates who you are.
A quick headshot session, flat lighting, and a neutral background sometimes work. But for someone with presence, with a platform, that approach falls short of what the moment calls for.
How I Solve It
Slower sessions built around who you actually are.
I build each portrait around presence. Real light that shapes the face, location that reflects who you are, and time enough that you can relax into something genuine. The result is editorial, intentional, and unmistakably you.
These images work for press, speaker bios, professional platforms, and anything that asks your portrait to do the heavy lifting in a room you won't be in.
How It's Booked
One person or a group, quoted to fit.
This lane is custom quoted, for one person or a group. Sessions typically run between $1,500 and $4,000 depending on scope and usage. Tell me what you are trying to create and where the portraits will be used, and I will quote it based on scope, not a fixed package.
What's Included
Everything your session deserves.
01
Location scouting
I help you pick a place that feels like you. On-location is how I work, whether that is a neighborhood, your office, or a setting you know.
02
Intentional light
I bring full lighting gear and shape light around your face. Every image is lit to emphasize presence, not just expose the shot.
03
Real direction
I start by understanding what the portraits are for, then guide you through posture, expression, and stillness so the final images feel authentic and composed.
04
Wardrobe conversation
Before the session, I talk with you about what you will wear so the clothes and light work together to say what matters.
05
Usage license included
Every shoot includes a two-year worldwide usage license for your marketing.
06
Retouched gallery
Delivered in 7 to 10 business days, color-graded, retouched, and organized. Ready to drop into press kits, speaker bios, and anywhere your portrait lives.

Common Questions
Portrait sessions, answered.
You might be thinking
- "I feel stiff in front of a camera."I bring full lighting gear and shape light around your face, and I build in time enough that you can relax into something genuine, not a forced smile.
- "I don't know what to wear."I talk through wardrobe with you before the session, what you do, where the images will show up, and what you feel confident in, then help you choose something that photographs well.
- "Will this just look like another headshot?"These sessions are slower and more intentional, built around presence. The result is editorial and unmistakably you, not a generic corporate frame.
Do you shoot on-location?
On-location is how I work. I bring my full lighting setup to a location that feels like you, whether that is a neighborhood, your office, a public space, or a setting you choose. The location becomes part of the portrait. When a project calls for a rented commercial space, I can arrange that too.
How long does a portrait session take?
Most sessions run two to three hours. That gives me time to scout light, set up properly, and move through the planned shots with you without rushing. You will feel calm and directed, not pressured.
What should I wear?
I talk through wardrobe with you before the session. I want to know what you do, where the images will show up, and what you feel confident in, then I help you choose something that feels authentic and photographs well in the light I am using.
How fast do I get the images?
Retouched and color-graded portraits arrive in 7 to 10 business days. Files are organized and ready to use across your website, press kits, speaker bios, and any platform where your portrait needs to work.
What does it cost?
Portrait pricing is custom, built around the session scope and usage. Sessions typically range between $1,500 and $4,000. Tell me what you need through the project form and I will send exact pricing within two business days.
