Hey there! So, you need a headshot, huh? Don’t worry, I promise it's not as scary as it sounds. But I get it; no one is vainer than me. I gave myself digital Botox when I took a look at the photos my husband snapped when I was holding my newborn son. I thought, “Wow, my eyes look great, but I need about $500 worth of injectables right now.” We are our own worst critic. But I promise you, the only person that sees you that way…is YOU!
Remember, having your headshot taken is all about having fun and being yourself; it’s not supposed to be painful. I never ask my subjects to smile. Instead, we will hang out, chat, and listen to music, and before you know it, we'll have a photo of you.
One of the most important things, for me anyway, is that your image captures your energy and your career. That's why every headshot I do is different. I'm not going to capture a photo of a real estate broker the same way I would an actor or writer. Your headshot should be a representation of who you are.
