Let’s be honest: the idea of getting professional headshots done can feel a little… awkward. I hear it all the time from fellow moms, entrepreneurs, and even my most confident corporate clients—“I’m just not photogenic,” “I don’t know how to pose,” or my personal favorite, “Can you Photoshop me into someone else?” (Spoiler: you’re already gorgeous, mama.)
But here’s the truth: great headshots aren’t about looking perfect—they’re about feeling like you. Confident, powerful, warm, approachable—you, but elevated. And I’m here to make that happen.
As a headshot photographer based in the Capital Region of Upstate New York, I work with women all over Albany, Saratoga, Schenectady, Clifton Park, and beyond to create portraits that feel effortless, natural, and (dare I say?) fun. Whether you’re a real estate agent, small biz owner, wellness coach, or just updating your LinkedIn—these photos should work for you.
Let’s Talk About Why You Might Dread Headshots
If the thought of standing stiff in front of a backdrop with a forced smile makes you cringe, you’re not alone. Most headshots people hate were rushed, under-directed, and totally impersonal. That’s not how we do things here.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and totally tailored to you. We chat, we laugh, we find your angles, and I walk you through every pose. You’ll know where to look, what to do with your hands (yes, finally!), and how to actually enjoy the process.
Where We’ll Shoot Your Dreamy New Headshots
Gone are the days of the stiff office headshot in front of a grey sheet. We shoot in light-filled studios like Studio B in Schenectady or The Suite, or even outdoors if you want more lifestyle vibes (like strolling with your coffee downtown in Saratoga or Clifton Park). Want a chic salon vibe? I’ve even done shoots at spots like The Dollhouse and Studio Bayalage—both gorgeous and full of natural light.
Whether we’re going for glam and polished or casual and confident, we’ll pick a space that fits your vibe and brand.
What to Wear (and What to Skip)
Simple, flattering pieces always win. Think structured blazers, soft knits, flowy tops, or classic neutrals with texture. If you’re feeling bold, bring a pop of color—but make sure it aligns with your brand.
Need help deciding? I’m here for it. I love helping clients style their session, and I’ll even send you a prep guide beforehand with outfit tips, makeup recs, and examples.
This Is More Than a Photo—It’s Your First Impression
Whether it’s on your website, your email signature, or your next application—your headshot speaks before you do. So let’s make sure it tells the right story. I want you to leave your session feeling confident, elevated, and like the powerhouse you are (even if you had to bribe your toddler with snacks on the way there).
If you’re in the Albany, Saratoga, or greater Capital Region area and ready for headshots that actually feel like you, let’s make it happen. Your brand deserves it—and so do you.
