My approach for professional businesswomen headshots is to highlight strengths and capture individuality of women in flattering, unique customized environments. Location scouting and creative direction is my specialty and I assist with outfits, poses, wardrobe selection, hair placement and color coordination for the photoshoot.

I shoot outdoors, public spaces, client sites with natural light for approachable yet professional pictures. I seek a balance of professionalism, confidence, approachability and trust in my photos and portraits for women.

Confident poses, relaxed shoulder, subtle smiles, comfort in one’s own skin is best. Trying too hard is rather evident and unflattering. Straight backs, slight lean forward, slight rotation up to 20–30 degrees away from the camera can make you look slimmer and add some dimension to your frame.

There is a careful balance between appearing too agreeable and happy vs being too stiff.
