Professional. Confident. Unforgettable.
My father is a Vietnam veteran, and both my grandfathers served in World War II. While I did not serve, I feel indebted to those that have made a conscious decision to protect the citizens of our beautiful country. Day in and day out they put their lives on the line in the name of freedom. These men and women are heroes in the truest sense and for them I am grateful and appreciative.
Each month I give away one free session to active and in-active military members that feel a headshot could be beneficial to them.
If you, or someone you know has served in the military and is in need of a headshot please fill out this form and I will be in touch with you at my earliest convenience.
Thank you to all of the men and women that have served and and are currently serving in the United States military.

Let’s make it happen.
Before your session, you’ll receive a prep guide that covers everything from wardrobe tips to grooming and mindset. I’ll walk you through exactly what to expect so you feel confident and ready to go. No guesswork, no stress.
Stick to clean, solid colors that reflect your personal brand or professional role. Avoid busy patterns and anything too trendy. Neutrals, blues, and jewel tones photograph well. Multiple outfits is recommended—I’ll help you choose what works best on camera. This is also covered in the prep guide.
I don’t rush sessions. Most individual headshot sessions last about 45–90 minutes depending on your comfort level and how many looks you need. My focus is on capturing the right expression—not the clock.
