I know how hard it can be to be photographed.

It’s not easy to relax and be yourself with the bright lights in your eyes and that big lens in your face. I’ll guide you through the process with patience and good humor, while making sure you look sharp, cool, and confident in your professional headshots.

It’s not your job to look good in photographs.

I was riffing away while doing a guy’s headshots last year. He asked me if I had a “Joke Bone?” I responded saying, “No. It’s called a funny bone.”

He asked if telling jokes was a knee-jerk reaction for me. I told him “It’s reflexive.”

If you’re not having fun, you’re not doing it right.

I love my job so much that I can’t wait to get to work in the mornings. I use my enthusiasm to lift people’s spirits, share a laugh, and have a good time.
