NOT A STANDARD HEADSHOT
Standard headshots are fine for ID badges, but they don’t build brands. I specialize in editorial business portraits that capture authority and presence. Whether you’re a founder, executive, or creative professional, I create executive branding photos that look like they belong in a magazine — not a directory.
DESIGNED FOR:
Executives & Founders who need an authoritative business portrait for pitch decks, press releases, and company sites.
Authors & Speakers requiring a "cover-worthy" image that sells their personal brand.
Musicians & Creatives looking for an editorial aesthetic—ditching the stiff "corporate" look.
Industry Leaders upgrading from a standard LinkedIn headshot to a visual identity that commands respect.
A SESSION, NOT A SLOT
We don’t take photos. We build identities.
THE STRATEGY: We don't just click the shutter. We align the lighting and vibe to match your executive brand, whether you are raising capital or launching a book.
THE LOCATION: Flexibility is key. We can meet at your office for context, shoot on-location in Downtown Denver, or you can come to my private studio. Whether you need the energy of the city or a quiet, controlled space, we pick the setting that fits your brand.
THE COACHING: Most executives hate posing. We fix that. We coach you through natural movements so your business portrait looks confident, authoritative, and human.

Common Questions
-
A professional headshot is designed to be clean, consistent, and functional — ideal for LinkedIn, company directories, or internal use.

-
Yes.
Clients regularly use editorial portraits for LinkedIn, personal websites, press features, casting submissions, and promotional materials. The difference is that the images feel elevated rather than formulaic.
-
Absolutely.
Editorial portraits are especially well-suited for performers and creatives who want images with mood, character, and presence — whether for casting, promotion, or press.
-
If you’re looking for a quick, classic headshot with minimal variation, my Professional Headshot option may be a better fit.
