Natural, cinematic, professional headshots for business, social media, and the performing arts, delivered the same day.
A professional headshot should look like you on your best day—confident, natural, and believable. We create professional headshots that feel real, not forced. We keep shooting until we get just the right expression. One that conveys confidence, professionalism, and approachability. And because we use cinematic lighting, your headshot will stand out among the rest.
These professional headshot sessions are designed for people who need images that represent them clearly and confidently, including:
Yes. Most people are not used to being photographed, and that is completely normal. I guide you through posing, expression, and body language so you feel comfortable and look natural. We take time to relax, build confidence, and keep shooting until we get an expression that feels like you at your best.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, a professional headshot typically costs between $250 to $450 for a single look. My individual headshot session is $350 for one look.
Yes. My studio is in Redwood City, conveniently located near both Highway 101 and Interstate 280. It is equipped with professional lighting and backdrops so you can get a polished, consistent result in a comfortable indoor setting.
Yes. I can bring a portable studio to your office and photograph your team on-site. I bring an assistant to help organize the process and keep things moving efficiently, so your team can get updated headshots with minimal disruption to the workday.
To keep headshots consistent across a company website, I use the same lighting, background, camera settings, and posing approach for every person. This creates a cohesive look across the team and makes the images feel professional and unified, even when employees are photographed on different days or in different locations.
Absolutely. For individual headshots, you’ll have your headshot the same day.
An individual headshot session usually takes less than an hour, including photography, image review, and final image selection. For team headshots at your office, I typically spend less than five minutes photographing each person, with final image selection handled later through an online gallery.
I deliver individual headshots the same day. For team headshots, senior photos, and family photos, I deliver 2–3 days after you choose your favorites.
Absolutely. You can use your digital files for LinkedIn, business websites, personal websites, social media, business cards, brochures, book covers, and more — perfect for personal branding and professional marketing.
Yes, every final photo includes professional retouching while keeping your look natural and authentic. Retouching reduces shine, removes blemishes, reduces wrinkles, brightens eyes, whitens teeth, and more.
For a professional headshot, bring a few outfits. Think layers. T-shirts, shirts, blouses, sweaters, jackets. Solid colors are best. Ensure that all clothing is wrinkle-free. Men, if you wear a dress shirt and tie, ensure that the collar is snug around your neck. Bring a few different ties so we can find the best look. In general, avoid busy patterns and large, distracting jewelry.
Yes. I work with a team of professional hair and makeup artists. Contact me for current pricing and availability.
AI headshots may look polished, but they do not offer the same control, authenticity, or legal clarity as a real professional portrait. Because AI headshots are generated, nobody owns the copyright. Thus you have no control over how your headshot is used. That’s a risk.
