At present I shoot on location most of the time. This can be your home or office. Realtors often have vacant listings they can use for the shoot.

If you require a studio setting I can arrange for that at an additional cost.

Your headshot will be cropped from mid-torso up so pants/skirts are not a worry.

Your face is the attention getter so surround it with non-distracting clothing.

Two things. Exceptional lighting and awesome posing skills.

I was trained by several of the best headshot photographers in the industry. Over the years I have developed a tried and true system to bring out the best in you.
