Headshots & Personal Branding

The photo people meet before they meet you.

Your headshot is the handshake before the handshake. It sits on your LinkedIn, your website, the conference program and the email signature a client opens right before deciding whether to call you back. A good one says capable and approachable in the half second people give it.

Most people tense up the moment a lens points their way, so a session with Joe starts with conversation, not the camera. He watches how you smile when you're comfortable, builds the light around your face, and directs the small things nobody thinks about: chin, shoulders, where your weight sits, what to do with your hands. You see every frame on screen as you go, so you know you have the shot before you leave.

Afterwards Joe retouches your selects by hand. Stray hairs, blemishes and shine go. Your laugh lines and freckles stay. The goal is you on a very good day, not a stranger who looks like you.
