​PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS IN NEW JERSEY

A confident, authentic and commanding HEADSHOT is no longer optional – it’s a “MUST HAVE”.  It is crucial that others can immediately see your unique value in digital form.

​My experiences and skill sets honed over 30 years as a photographer, professional actor, director, and father, enable me to uncover what is authentic in each of my clients.  I’ve been in front of the camera and know how to coach you, so you feel relaxed and really shine.
 
Photography has the capacity to inspire, empower, and evoke positive emotions, and I’m passionate that your headshot should highlight your confidence, approachability, and authenticity. With my perceptive insight, sometimes this can be startling. I look forward to that moment in each session, while we review what we are creating, when my clients do a double-take as they see themselves at their very best, with their self-worth reflected back.
 
My purpose as a photographer, is to reveal your confidence and strength through engagement and observation. You can relax, enjoy yourself, and walk away excited to put your digital image out into the world with new purpose – to be seen in successful ways. It doesn’t matter if it’s a job search, audition, dating app, or social media – you deserve a headshot that celebrates how unique and valuable you are.  I can see it, and so should you!

About Your Session

I limit my bookings to only 2 clients a day (by appointment only) which controls the number of people coming and going, and allows for a thorough disinfecting between sessions, but most importantly this creates a relaxed atmosphere so we have all the time to get exactly what you need.  I respect that you are busy and will not keep you longer than we need to make sure you leave happy with your image choices.

I will be coaching you the whole time as we create together.  The reason you came to a professional photographer is because I know how bring out your best expressions, posture, find your perfect angles, make sure you are styled and are showing that confidence.  Relaxation in this process is what highlights your lookability and approachability that are the foundation of every successful headshot.  So relax, you are in great expert hands!

A few times during our session we will pause to review the images we have taken thus far.  Because I have professional equipment and can tether directly to a computer with monitor, we get an instant review of what we are capturing.  This will allow for any changes you would like to make it the direction the session is going so we get it right in the moment.  Reminder, our goal is to give you what you need in a headshot.

At the end of the session, we will sit down (at a safe distance) with a beverage and review your images.  From there, you will pick the favorites that you will then get professionally edited and retouched – removing the stray hairs, minor blemish and color corrected.  Sounds overwhelming? It is not in the least.  Picking your images is a lot of fun and usually ends up being people’s favorite part of the process.  I am there to offer as much guidance as you would like in terms of what makes the strongest headshots.  My professional expertise and attention to you does not end at the back of my camera.
​
I love shooting headshots and showcasing the best qualities you have to offer with the images we create.

Life is full of challenges, creating your
professional headshot
and your digital identity​
should NOT be one of them
