Why Choose Us?
I do believe that a headshot is more than just a professional photo—it’s a key to unlocking new opportunities. Here’s why you should choose us for your headshot needs:
Expertise & Experience: Designated as a Master of Photography by the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), I bring over 15 years of experience and a refined eye to each session. My background in lighting and posing ensures that we highlight your best features in every shot, even if you are picky.
Tailored to You: No two headshots are the same because no two clients are the same. We start every session by getting to know you—your career ambitions, personality, and even your quirks. This way, we can tailor the experience and the final product to reflect your individuality. For instance, an attorney will need a different headshot than a doctor, so we must ensure we are personalizing your session for your goals.
State-of-the-Art Studio: Our Dallas studio is equipped with the latest photographic technology. We have everything needed to ensure high-quality results, from advanced lighting rigs to various backdrops that suit every style and profession. If you need us to go on location to your office, we have a travel kit that allows us to produce the same quality on location as we do in-studio. We photograph most of our headshot sessions tethered to provide you with instant proofing.
Fun, Relaxed Environment: Let’s face it, not everyone loves being in front of a camera. That’s why we strive to make your experience enjoyable and stress-free. Expect a few laughs, great music, and a comfortable setting that makes you forget the camera is even there.
Speed and Efficiency: We know your time is valuable. That's why we work efficiently to ensure your headshot session is quick without compromising quality. And with a 24-hour turnaround time, you’ll quickly have your professional photos ready to use on your website or marketing material.
Consistently Outstanding Results: Our clients love the results, and they tell us all the time! From LinkedIn to company websites, our headshots help professionals look their best wherever they are featured.
