    Draper Studios was outstanding in providing a wonderful headshot that I felt really good about sharing with my professional organizations and colleagues. Matt made the photo-shoot comfortable and easy, and gave me several choices that I can use for different websites. Best of all, my family and friends commented on what a great photo it was and requested copies! Thanks Matt Draper!

He is a true master at his craft! Photoshoots with him are always a fun and effortless experience. He captured so many great photos that it is always difficult for me to narrow them down.”

    Super high quality headshot for my LikedIn. Very pleased. 10/10

Your headshot should make people want to know more about you.

Most headshots look the same—same backdrop, same pose, same fake smile. That works if you want to blend in. But if your name is attached to your work, brand, or reputation, you can’t afford to look average.

✔ Look confident without looking posed
✔ Headshots that feel natural and real
✔ Perfect for LinkedIn, websites, and speaker profiles
✔ Shot with purpose—not templates
