my approach to portrait sessions
Why Professional Headshots Matter
Whether you're an entrepreneur in the Mission District, a tech professional in SOMA, or a creative based in Hayes Valley, a high-quality headshot helps you make a powerful first impression. In San Francisco’s competitive landscape, your online presence matters — and a polished, authentic image can set you apart. From LinkedIn profiles to business websites and speaker bios, professional headshots communicate confidence, trust, and approachability. I specialize in creating portraits that feel like you — relaxed, real, and ready to represent your personal brand.
