Signature Headshot Sessions

The real you.

Feel seen.

At ease.

A headshot is more than just a photo. It’s a reflection of your presence, your professionalism, and your story. A great headshot speaks volumes about who you are, and where you’re going. 

My sessions are thoughtfully designed to put you at ease, with the goal of capturing an authentic, timeless image that actually feels like you – and one you’re proud to share.

The Experience

What’s included in your signature headshot day:

Pre-Shoot Planning

“Right from our first phone call I felt comfortable & at ease with the process. I'm so grateful for the time & care she put into getting to know my vision prior to the shoot. I felt well guided on the day of the photoshoot & absolutely cherish the images she captured.”

Guidance & Collaboration

Every Detail, Just Right so there are no surprises

Post-Shoot Gallery: Review at Your Own Pace

Fast & Polished Delivery:

Upon reserving your spot, I’ll share my pre-shoot preparation guide with practical tips to help you feel prepared and at ease. I’m also available for a pre-shoot call to discuss the process and make sure we’re aligned before we shoot.

I’ll guide you through natural poses in a relaxed, collaborative space where your ideas combined with my expertise shape the session.

We’ll review your shots as we go, making adjustments as we desire to ensure you leave with confidence in what we captured.

Your selected images will be thoughtfully edited and delivered in a digital gallery, in both color and black and white. I’ll provide a clear ETA on when you can expect your images and am happy to work with specific deadlines as required. 

After the shoot, you’ll receive a private proofs gallery to review your proofs at your own pace and select your very favourites.
