Business Headshots

Corporate headshots don't need to feel like a chore. The experience can be genuinely enjoyable. Modern corporate headshots that capture your natural confidence build credibility with Philadelphia's business community and earn their trust from the first impression.

Trust is the foundation of every professional relationship. Business headshots keep your team's visual presentation consistent with your brand's messaging. When clients see that consistency across your organization, it reinforces everything you've built.

My approach to direction brings out the professional qualities that matter in your industry. Corporate headshots work when they show the real expertise and personality behind your role. Whether you're serving clients in Center City's financial sector, University City's healthcare institutions, or the creative agencies throughout the metro area, the session captures what positions you for success.

Acting Headshots

Casting directors and agents across Philadelphia review hundreds of headshots every day looking for performers who fit their vision. Professional actor headshots give you a real shot at grabbing their attention when they're deciding who gets called in. Your headshot either makes you worth a second look or gets passed over for someone whose photo stands out.

Your acting headshots determine whether casting directors see you as right for a role before you ever audition. They use your photo to assess your type, your range, and whether your look matches what the production needs. The headshot decides if you get the audition opportunity or if they move on to the next performer.

I've spent my career specializing in headshot photography, working with Philadelphia actors and performers to create images that actually get them noticed. The work I deliver gives performers professional headshots they can confidently submit for any audition. My focus has always been producing the quality of actor headshots that casting directors respond to.

LinkedIn Headshots

LinkedIn is where Philadelphia professionals build connections, find opportunities, and develop client relationships. Your LinkedIn profile photo is the first thing people see before they decide to connect or reach out. A weak photo costs you credibility before anyone reads a word about what you do.

A professional LinkedIn headshot tells people you take your work seriously. When you've invested in quality, your audience notices. Your LinkedIn profile photo communicates that you care about details and approach everything with the same standard of excellence.

Building a business on LinkedIn requires more than just posting content. Your LinkedIn profile needs to position you as someone who knows their field and delivers results. When your LinkedIn headshot matches the quality of your work, potential clients see you as the professional who can solve their problems.

Office Headshots

Your Philadelphia business is running operations, serving clients, and managing company performance and revenue. My business is delivering professional office headshots for your team at your location. You handle what drives your company forward, I handle photographing your people.

You invest heavily in branding, marketing, and communicating what your company stands for. Team headshots that look consistent across your website, LinkedIn, and marketing materials support that investment. When your staff presents as unified professionals, it reinforces the brand you've built.

Professional employee headshots do more than fill space on your About page. They show clients and prospects that your company values quality and takes its image seriously. Whether photographed at your Philadelphia office or in our Lancaster studio, consistent group headshots across all platforms make your team look established, credible, and worth doing business with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Don't See Your Question Here? Call me at (717) 925 - 0061

I ask that everyone bring a variety of different clothing options. For the most part, you only need to bring along shirts and blouses, unless you plan on doing three-quarter length shots as well. Please bring a variety of your favorite tops. I may choose to shoot multiple looks, so make sure you have a nice range of clothing with you. You have to love it! Any number of things can work, but my clients tend to shoot with greater success when they are wearing things they feel great in. Don't be afraid to mix it up with different cuts, colors, layers, and textures. Bring attire that reflects you and your personality. Please try to avoid overly fuzzy and pilled sweaters. I generally lean toward solid colors.

I prefer to shoot horizontally because that is how humans see the world. In addition, a horizontal frame allows for space, so that your headshot doesn't appear constricted or confined between the narrow walls of a vertical crop. Plus, it's a more contemporary and widely accepted format.

This is a very common question. I believe the most important information in a headshot is your expression. Having the clothing information around your shoulders and chest is important to get a sense of your identity as well. When your eyes are above the center line, it makes for a more impactful image. When the frame is adjusted to accommodate these features, the top of the head gets cropped. As long as the viewer gets a sense of your hairstyle, they can envision the rest of your hair. Plus, people will still assume that you still have your entire head. right?!

Absolutely! I tend to pause frequently to give you a chance to see the images we create. I also use that time to coach and direct you; showing you what is working well and what we need to work on. In addition, I allow time at the end of the session to review the images we have taken during the course of the session.

At the end of your session, I will have your image(s) polished up and retouched. Once complete, I will place the work in your private proofing gallery. At this time, you will have the opportunity to review the image(s). Upon your approval of the work, I will enable the download feature on the gallery and you may save the image(s) to your computer.

If you are a male, the answer is a resounding no. There is no need. I do encourage ladies to schedule my makeup artist for their session, however. It is remarkable how much more confident and relaxed a little time with an amazing makeup artist will make you feel.

I ask that everyone come with their hair done as if they were presenting themselves to a casting director for an audition. We want your headshot to match the way you look in person on a regular basis. It must be something that you can recreate at will. My makeup artist will do some light primping, but will not style or re-style your hair.

A professional headshot is not just a pretty picture. It is a personal and corporate branding tool. This is your virtual handshake and introduction to the world. Here is a list of people and professions that need a professional headshot: Who Needs a Solid Headshot?
