Professional Boston Headshots

Once you've booked and paid for your session you'll get an email confirmation with wardrobe and accessory guidance. Generally dark and / or neutral colors work best for headshots, though sometimes bright bold colors can be fun for certain applications. Bring a range of wardrobe options and we'll experiment and see what works best for you. Remember though, if it isn't in my studio I can't shoot it!

I do not recommend makeup for men. For women, however, professional hair and makeup services can make a significant difference in image quality. The makeup is done with a light but very intentional touch. For reference, all the women on my website engaged my pro hair and makeup services. I have several hair and makeup artists I work with and their fee starts at $400. This is in addition to session and image fees. If you would like to engage their services please contact me prior to booking your session so I can coordinate our 3 schedules. Plan on about an hour for hair and makeup in my studio prior to the session and then about another hour for our shoot.

Yes, your session and image fees include basic color correction and retouching. This may typically include skin tone adjustments, removal of fly away hairs and blemishes, lint on clothing, etc. Heavy retouching, which I strongly advise against, may incur an additional fee.

Your session fee, which must be pre-paid upon booking on this site, can be paid with Visa, Master Card, American Express or PayPal. Additional images may be paid for at the time of your session with the above credit cards, Venmo, PayPal or cash.

Retouching usually takes about two weeks. Once I get them back from my retoucher, I make final adjustments and get them yo you within 24 hours via email.

My entire process is designed to help you look your best! It starts with wardrobe selection, then pro hair and make up for the ladies and then lighting, posing and expression. The look I go for is something I call 'approachable confidence.' If you've spent any time at all on my site you probably already have a good idea what that looks like! I'll coach and direct you through our shoot and you'll see your images get better and better through out our session.

A typical individual session runs about 30–45 minutes. That includes wardrobe review, lighting setup and the shoot itself. Team sessions vary depending on group size — generally about 10–15 minutes per person once we're set up.

My studio is in Sherborn, MA — about 30 minutes west of Boston. It's easy to get to from anywhere in the metro area. For team sessions, I come to your office or location anywhere in the greater Boston area.

My Sherborn studio is convenient to professionals throughout the Metrowest area and greater Boston, including but not limited to Holliston, Hopkinton, Natick, Needham, Wellesley, Weston, Newton, Concord, Lincoln, Brookline, Framingham and Boston. I also specialize in actor headshots. For team sessions, I travel to offices in Boston, Cambridge, Wellesley, Newton, Framingham, Waltham, Burlington, Worcester and beyond.

Absolutely — LinkedIn is one of the most common uses for my headshots. The images I deliver are high-resolution and formatted to look sharp on LinkedIn, your company website, speaker bios and print materials.

A headshot is typically shoulders-up against a clean background — ideal for LinkedIn, company directories and email signatures. A business portrait is more editorial, often incorporating environment, body language and more of your personality. I offer both.

I recommend updating your headshot every 2–3 years, or whenever there's been a significant change in your appearance. If someone meets you in person and can't reconcile you with your photo, it's time for a new one.

Yes. For team sessions I bring my full studio setup to your office or location. I just need a room with about 10 feet of depth and access to a power outlet. I handle all the setup and breakdown.

You're in good company — most of my clients feel exactly this way when they walk in. Coaching you through the process is a core part of what I do. By the time we're a few minutes in, you'll be relaxed and we'll be getting great shots.

Yes, please do! I encourage you to bring 3–5 options. We'll review them together at the start of the session and choose the ones that work best on camera. Variety gives us more to work with.

Your session includes one fully retouched, high-resolution image. Many clients end up wanting 2–4 additional images to suit different professional and personal applications, which can be purchased at the time of your session. You'll see all your shots during the session so you can choose your favorites.
