Who here loves to rush? Any takers? I’d rather work in an environment that gets everyone into the groove and feeling good. Which usually takes time and focus. Focus on the moment and what we’re there to accomplish (aka helping you look and feel awesome while having a good time).

Working with people and building friendly professional relationships are key to headshot sessions. I find that working together to see what fits or sits well works better than it being a one-person show.

Okay, so it is a little about me: I love to dance and a quiet room can make me feel a bit…awkward. So I like to get some jams going. But they’re your choice! So whatever brings out your unicorn side is groovy with me.

This goes with the collaborative piece. It’s much easier to get and stay on the same page when folx communicate. It doesn’t have to be verbal, but letting each other know what’s going on is a big part of working together. Do you feel self-conscious about your nose or want to highlight your shoulders? That’s great info for me to have! Do you look amazing in this light? That’s even better information for you to have. So let’s keep the lines open.
