How I got here
I bought a camera to document my kids' lives. As they got older, I wore out my welcome as the dad photographer.
Then someone asked me for a headshot. That one session showed me there is a science to making people look better in photos. I went down the rabbit hole and never came back out.
Why headshots
A headshot is not vanity. It is a business tool.
Your photo is in the room before you are. It is on LinkedIn before the first call, on the firm website before the pitch, and in the speaker lineup before you take the stage. People decide how seriously to take you in about a second. I make sure that second works for you.
Visibility creates opportunity. People trust what looks disciplined and intentional.
How I work
Most people hate being photographed. That is the job.
- I coach every expression. You never have to guess what to do with your face.
- I shoot tethered. You see each image on a calibrated monitor the second it is taken.
- You approve your favorites before you leave the studio.
- Fast delivery. Retouched files from studio sessions arrive within 48 hours.
What I photograph
- Executive headshots for leaders who need a full set of looks.
- LinkedIn headshots for a fast, polished profile update.
- Corporate team headshots, on site at your office.
- Actor headshots built for casting.
- Outdoor headshots across Charlotte.
- Conference headshot booths for trade shows and events nationwide.
