HEADSHOTS & PERSONAL BRANDING

As an empowered businesswoman, I don’t have to lecture you on the importance of a powerful brand. Your audience needs to see you - the real you - before they can trust you.






Stop drawing from the same 5-10 outdated (and, let’s face it, awkward) pictures, and allow me to build a professional portfolio of photos that highlight your skills and emphasize your personality. You’ve worked hard to become the powerhouse you are today, so let’s show your audience that you’ll show up consistently and professionally.

I value every person that steps foot in front of my camera and strive to create a stress-free environment. This is more than a photoshoot, it’s an empowering experience that celebrates where you are in your career and where you’re headed next.

Expert posing and lighting will help you look amazing on camera, and you’ll find yourself excited the next time you see the prompt “select a
profile picture.”
Photos that finally represent who you
are and who you’re working to become.

This means it’s time to step up your
brand and put your best foot forward
with luxury branding portraiture.

They are versatile and ideal for professional profiles, social media platforms and business websites.
