“Hate Being Photographed? I’ll Help Make It an Enjoyable Experience”
I know having your picture taken can feel uncomfortable, but working with a professional photographer is a lot different than the casual snapshots you might be used to. A good photographer knows how to make you feel at ease, guiding you through natural poses and capturing your best angles without forcing anything awkward. You don’t need to “perform” or pretend to be someone you’re not—my job is to highlight your personality in a way that feels genuine and flattering. With the right lighting, setting, and direction, I’ll create images that are polished and professional—nothing like the random, unflattering shots we all try to avoid. You might even surprise yourself by how much you enjoy the experience—and you’ll end up with photos you’ll actually feel good about.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens at your headshot session?
We will spend some time upfront to make sure we understand exactly what you are looking for in your headshots and review the clothes you brought to the shoot. Then we will pick your favorite outfit for the first session. That is when the magic begins and I will coach you throughout the entire shoot. Providing the highest quality Montgomery County headshots and Philadelphia County headshots, my aim is to make the shoot fun and relaxed so that you get the best headshots ever.
How long does the headshot session last?
We only book 2 headshot sessions each day so you book either the morning session or the evening session and take as much time as you need. An average session takes between 1 - 2 hours depending on the number of outfit changes. This allows for a relaxed session that is focused on the attention to the details that we defined for your shoot. It also allows you plenty of time after the shoot to review the photos and choose your headshots.
What should I wear for my photo shoot?
The most important aspect of what you should wear is pick clothing that you feel comfortable and happy in and that they fit you well. You should bring as many outfits as you like and especially bring your favorite outfits. We will review your outfits prior to the start of the professional headshot session and determine which outfits are best. Click here for more detailed information on what to bring to the shoot.
What can I expect my finished headshot to look like?
Click here to see the Headshots section for my style of headshots. I shoot on a solid background, usually gray and white, because as well as looking modern and clean. This helps make your eyes pop and skin tones look healthy. You'll also get advanced coaching techniques to give your shot the impression of confidence and approachability. Confidence comes from the eyes, and approachability comes from the mouth. I want to incorporate both confidence and approachability into your headshots for maximum positive effect.
Your headshots will show genuine expression that will make you look and feel like you, at your very best.
Do I need to book an appointment?
Yes. All headshot sessions whether for individuals or large groups are appointment-only. In order to get the very best out of my time and yours, pre-planning goes into every shoot. Whether that be in the Phoenixville Studio, or at your location, so you get the very best quality and value.
Do you offer hair and makeup services?
Yes, we offer hair and makeup as optional services.
For women's makeup you want to keep it simple. If you choose not to use my makeup artist then keep your makeup simple and clean.
For men, I generally don't recommend using a makeup artist.
