My photography group's monthly challenge — shoot a portrait inspired by a master. I chose Richard Avedon's American West Series. If you know it, you know why. Those images are relentless in their simplicity: stark white backgrounds, natural light, and subjects who look like they've lived every single one of their years.

Samuel was the perfect collaborator. There's an openness to him that the camera loved, a willingness to just be in front of the lens without performing. That's rarer than you'd think, and it's exactly what Avedon always searched for.

This one is among my favorites.

A great headshot isn't just a photo — it's a statement. When you feel confident in your image, that energy translates directly to everyone who sees it.

Your headshot should say I'm approachable, I'm capable, and I mean business — all before you've said a single word. When you love the way you look, that confidence carries into every pitch, every meeting, and every first impression you make online.

The people behind a firm are its greatest asset. A polished 3/4 body portrait does more than fill a profile page, it communicates confidence, credibility, and the human vision driving every project. For architecture clients choosing who to trust with their next build, a strong professional image can be the detail that closes the deal.

When someone feels relaxed and unhurried, special things can happen. Andrew's headshot session had just wrapped when mom jumped in for a portrait together. No pressure, no rushing, just a lovely unplanned moment that neither of them came in expecting. I love it when a session takes on a life of its own.

A headshot should feel like you, not just a professional obligation. Every session I do is completely one on one, tailored to your industry, your personality and how you want to be seen. I shoot in daylight studios in NYC using natural north light, and I take as much time as you need to get it right.

Studio? Not always necessary. With a portable backdrop, and one light, I can create a polished professional portrait just about anywhere. This one was shot on location for an architecture firm — clean, consistent results without anyone leaving the office. Got a team that needs updating? Let me bring the studio to you.

Lora is an executive with a background as a professional photographer and she chose me for her new headshots. I'll take that. We got everything she needed for her professional profile, plus this portrait just for herself. Her words: "It's totally me." That's the goal, every single time.

"I've been avoiding this for years" is something I hear more than you'd think. This client came in telling me she no longer looked like the person she was projecting online. We had the best session, she left with photos she actually loves, and headshot phobia? Officially cured. If your profile photo is giving several years ago — let's change that.

Peter's firm does in-office headshots, but his was a few years overdue for a refresh. As the photographer in the house, the solution was obvious.

One studio session later and he's got a sharp, updated headshot, no waiting on the work schedule. It's one of my favorite parts of this job: helping people with the images that matter.

Promotion. Career change. Business launch. Some moments deserve to be marked with an updated headshot that reflects where you are now, not where you were. I give you my complete, focused attention to create images that match your current professional chapter. Natural light. Personalized direction. And headshots that signal you're ready for what's next.
