About Us

I'm a headshot and branding photographer who turns camera-shy entrepreneurs into confident brand ambassadors.

Here's what I do: I work with creative entrepreneurs, realtors, and small business owners who know they need professional images but dread the idea of being photographed. You know that feeling when someone says "headshot session" and your mind immediately goes to awkward poses and fake smiles? That's exactly what I'm here to change.

My approach is different. Before we even think about lighting or poses, we talk about your business, your goals, and what story you want your images to tell. Then I create a comfortable environment where you can be authentically you—whether that's in my studio or at a location that feels right for your brand.

What makes me different? Making you feel natural and comfortable in front of the camera is honestly my superpower. After almost 20 years of doing this, I've mastered the art of finding your best angles, creating perfect lighting, and capturing poses that feel effortless. But more importantly, I know how to help you relax and actually enjoy the process.

My favorite part? When clients leave saying "That was actually fun!" Because when you feel good during the session, it shows in every single image.

The result? Professional photos that don't just look good—they work hard for your business, connecting with your ideal clients and showing them exactly who you are before you even meet.
