Professional headshots for Marin / the SF Bay Area
In this current age of digital connection, your online presence is often the first impression you make with others. As a professional photographer with over 25 years of experience serving Marin and the San Francisco Bay Area, I understand the impact a quality, authentic head shot can have in conveying your unique identity as an expression of who, what, and why you are.
So whether you're needing an updated portrait for LinkedIn, acting, marketing materials, an award ceremony, real estate profile, social media, an About page, a dating site, promotional materials, a gift for Mom…
I'm here to help.
Why does a professional head shot matter?
- First impressions count. Your headshot is often the initial introduction you make to others. These days, it's your opportunity to make a positive first impression, whatever the context. My approach is for authenticity, where the image serves you in connecting with those aligned to collaborate and connect.
- Building trust. An authentic, quality headshot invites meaningful connection. When you come across as real you begin the process of building trust with your audience in the form of potential clients, customers, peers, colleagues, collaborators, community. Sincere, genuine portraits create quality impact.
- Commitment. Professional photographers (like me) are committed to the craft. We're more than a friend with the latest iPhone camera. My focus is on embodying you into images. Your investment in you becomes my investment, too. In a sea of generic selfies and amateur photos, a professionally taken headshot helps sets you apart. It communicates that you take your self seriously and are committed to what you do.
- Authenticity. In its highest form, a professional head shot conveys who you are. The real you. The present you. The honorable you. The you in service to others. These days it's less (and less) about about looking good... and more (and more) about simply looking (and being) real. At their core, we seek authenticity in meaningful connecting and collaborating with others.
