Ever get your photo taken by a good friend?
And you look better than you do in the photos you got from that pro photographer?
It feels easy to pose for a friend.
Headshot sessions should be easy, comfortable, relaxed, and fun.
Yes. I said fun.
How I posed for photos at age 7
The least stressful part of your career should be getting pics of your face.
If you don’t love cameras, I get it.
It doesn’t matter how experienced you are. Everyone gets nervous.
When you find a photographer who gets it, even if you come to the session with a stomach full of butterflies, that feeling will disappear until you forget it was there in the first place.
So, what’s the process?
Good question! I’ve written out all the steps that take place when booking headshots with me, from start to finish. This tells you a basic timeline of what happens and when, so you know exactly what to expect (I promise, no weird surprises).
Oh right, me. You probably want to know about me.
I’ve been taking headshots since 2007 – mostly in New York City, with a 1.5-year stint in Los Angeles, as well as sessions in Washington, DC and Burlington, VT.

Before I get into the nitty gritty of my life and what my favorite tv show is (fine, it’s The Twilight Zone, original series), I’ll tell you the most important aspect of taking great headshots:
It’s not the camera. Or the lens. Or the light. Well, maybe it’s a little about the light.
It’s connecting with people. Listening. Reacting. Adapting. Communicating.
After photographing over one thousand headshot clients, I’ve learned a thing or two about how to connect with a variety of people with distinct personalities, needs, hopes, and dreams. Understanding this is what separates a headshot that looks like you on your best day from one that doesn’t.
Pictured is me at home with my beautiful dog MacGregor, who sadly passed away in July 2024. Thank you so much to all who met him at a headshot session and gave him affection over the years.
