This location allows me to serve a wide range of clients seeking high-quality headshots in the DMV region.
Headshot session.
Headshot Sessions appear simple but there is a lot to consider and prepare for in order to get the best images. I schedule a consultation with each client to discuss your needs in detail (location, backdrop, wardrobe, style, hair/makeup). I am able to accommodate indoor or outdoor at my studio. Too far away or time constraint, no problem. I can come to your location with my equipment.
Headshot Sessions are 30-45 minutes and accommodate 2 -3 looks.
Bring 2 – 3 outfits or more, if you like, to maximize selection.
In studio we can shoot against 1or 2 backdrops.

Personal Branding session
If you're looking for more than just a standard headshot session, I offer additional options to elevate your personal brand or capture your unique personality through a Personal Branding Session or Portrait Session. These specialized sessions provide you with extended time and flexibility to create a diverse range of looks and styles that align with your vision and branding goals.
During a Personal Branding Session, we delve deeper into crafting a cohesive and authentic representation of your brand identity. This session allows for multiple outfit changes, incorporating various props or elements that reflect your profession or business, and exploring different settings or locations to enhance the storytelling aspect of your brand. Whether you're an entrepreneur, influencer, or business professional, the Personal Branding Session is tailored to capture your unique essence and create a comprehensive visual narrative that resonates with your target audience.
After your session.
I pick the best images and place them in a private online gallery for you to pick your unedited proofs. The proofs will be ready within 1-2 business days after the session. If you need quicker service I can do same day service, pending workflow availability for an additional $100.
After you pick your image(s) I retouch them and place them in the gallery for you to download.
Retouching process :
After you select your image(s) I do a final edit so you look your best, natural and not overdone. If you want me to retouch something specific, let me know.

What to wear for professional headshots
What to wear for professional headshots
I will offer my professional opinion based on how you are going to use the images.
Overall style should match the image you want to present, i.e. Doctors, business professional are more formal attire while others may choose business casual or casual attire.
There is time to accommodate two looks. If unsure what to wear, bring multiple outfits and I will help narrow it down.
Accessories, such as tasteful jewelry, can complement your overall look.
Shoes will not be visible most of the time.
Solid colors typically look best while patterns should be avoided as they detract attention from you.
Background

Background is another consideration if shooting on location and follow the same guidelines as outfits, avoid patterns and bright colors. Corporate logos, flags, and symbols etc. may work but have to be evaluated (size, color, reflectivity).
Hair and make up for headshots.

Women:
Hair and makeup for Headshots and Personal Branding session is highly recommended. I can schedule the professional stylist I work with, pending her availability, to do hair and makeup in studio prior or at your place prior to the session. She knows what I need to make you look your best and will adjust to your considerations. The stylist is a separate fee paid directly to her. You can arrange your own stylist if you prefer.

Men:
I recommend a haircut within a week prior to the session and if you have a beard or mustache get a professional trim. On the day of the session, blow out your hair for some volume with attention to your bangs and get a clean shave.
