There’s something especially rewarding about creating updated headshots for professionals who are stepping forward in their careers.
📸
I recently photographed Suzie, a VP of Growth Marketing
specializing in SaaS and marketplace growth, GTM strategy, demand
generation, CRM, and customer retention.
We started with professional hair and makeup by Fawn Vandenburg then moved
into the studio to create a variety of polished, modern headshots that
feel confident, approachable, and current.
For executives and business leaders, a professional headshot is more
than a profile photo—it’s part of how you present your experience, leadership, and personal brand before the conversation even begins.
And I always love sharing a little behind the scenes—because the
transformation from getting camera-ready to the final images is part of the experience. ✨

📸 A headshot for the next chapter. Lucy recently reached out to me for headshots to use with her medical school application.
We kept the session simple and focused—working in the studio with both gray and white backgrounds to give her a few different looks to choose
from.
There’s something special about photographing someone at the beginning of an exciting next step.
I really enjoyed working with Lucy and being a small part of that process. Wishing her the very best as she takes this next step toward a career in medicine.
Good luck, Lucy! 🩺

Ricky was easy going from the start, and we spent the session talking, laughing, and taking our time rather than rushing from one pose to the
next.

As a Criminal Justice professor at SUNY Albany, he wanted a few
updated portraits that would work in different settings. We changed outfits, switched backgrounds, and let each look develop naturally.
It’s amazing how those small changes can create photographs with completely different personalities.

One of the things I appreciate most about this work is meeting people
from so many different professions. Every session is a chance to hear
a little about someone’s story, and for a short time, I get to be a
small part of it.

Thanks for a great afternoon, Ricky. I hope these portraits serve you well for years to come.

Your photo is the first thing people see — before your name, before your title, before anything you've worked hard to build. 📸

These Capital Region professionals decided to make that first impression count.

Executives. Attorneys. Real estate pros. Entrepreneurs. All photographed right here in the Albany area — clean, polished, and looking exactly like themselves at their best.

If your headshot isn't doing you justice, let's change that.

I offer on-site corporate sessions for teams of any size, as well as individual sessions — right here in the Albany Capital Region.

Real ingredients. Real technique. Real good. 🔥

Just wrapped a shoot for Mario's Restaurant in New Lebanon, NY — and this kitchen does not cut corners. We're talking housemade fennel cavatelli, eggplant parmigiana, tournedos of beef, crème brûlée… and those legendary pop-overs that keep people coming back before the meal
even starts.

Swipe to see what Italian-American comfort food looks like when it's done right. ➡️

Actor headshots are about more than just having a good photo—they need to communicate personality, range, confidence, and authenticity in a single image.

Serena came into her session with exactly that. After 30 years in nursing, she is bringing her real-world experience, strength, and warmth into a revitalized acting career in New York.

For this session, the goal was to create actor headshots that felt natural, approachable, expressive, and versatile enough to support both commercial and character-driven roles.

One of my favorite parts of photographing actors is helping them create images that not only look like them—but also reflect who they are and the kinds of roles they can step into.

It is always such an honor to photograph individuals whose work is making an impact, and to be trusted with creating the image that introduces them to readers!

Recently, I was contacted by the editor of Compliance & Ethics Professional® Magazine, to photograph the June cover featuring Bailey Mack.

The assignment was to create corporate yet artistic portraiture that reflected both professionalism and personality. Bailey is the Chief Compliance Officer for Together for Youth and The House of the Good Shepherd, and she was truly a delight to work with throughout the process.

Bailey has written several articles for the publication, and it was exciting to help tell her story visually for a magazine that reaches compliance professionals around the world.

Compliance & Ethics Professional® (CEP Magazine) is SCCE’s award-winning monthly publication and continues to grow its readership among chief compliance officers, executives, attorneys, government agencies, scholars, entrepreneurs, and professionals entering the field.
