Helping Professionals Step Confidently Into What’s Next
Over the past few months, I’ve had the honor of supporting federal workers who are unsure about their employment through discounted headshot sessions. Each one has reminded me that there is so much talent, experience, and heart behind every résumé.
Mary was one of those people who immediately made an impression. She arrived after having her makeup done with Valerie Hammer Makeup Artistry, who has also been generously offering a discount to federal employees during this season as well.
The images from her session reflect someone poised, capable, and hopeful. Sometimes a simple headshot session becomes so much more; it becomes a reminder of resilience and new beginnings.
I’m so grateful for the chance to use photography as a way to serve during this time, and I’ve loved partnering with other small businesses like Val to support these incredible professionals as they step into what’s next.
Back in the Studio with Veniqua: Strength, Confidence, and a Killer Set of Branding Headshots
Fitness coach Veniqua returned to my Silver Spring studio for her second headshot session, bringing her signature energy and confidence. With makeup by Valerie Hammer, we created a bold, polished set of images that match the power of her brand.
It’s always fun when clients come back for another session. This was my second time photographing Veniqua, a fitness coach with a strong sense of who she is. She’s confident, grounded, and knows how to show up in front of the camera.
We kept it simple in the studio, with black outfit against a white backdrop.
Big thanks to Valerie Hammer Makeup Artistry for the flawless makeup as always. She always knows how to enhance without overdoing it, keeping the look clean and natural.
Veniqua crushed it. Can’t wait to see how she uses these!
If your headshots feel out of date or don’t really feel like you, let’s fix that. I’d love to help you create photos that feel real, confident, and totally on-brand.
Don't Be Afraid of a Little Color: A Vibrant Headshot Session with Donna Butts
Donna Butts brought the bold (and the blush!) to her recent headshot session with us. If you’ve ever wondered whether color has a place in your professional portraits, here’s your answer: YES. It brings energy, authenticity, and an unmistakable spark, just like Donna herself.
I love incorporating bold color in a headshot. My recent Signature Session with Donna Butts is proof.
Donna, Executive Director of Generations United and soon-to-be author, showed up looking amazing thanks to Valerie Hammer Makeup Artistry. Her vibrant personality was matched by bold wardrobe choices and such fun color.
The result? Headshots that are anything but generic. Her portraits communicate confidence, warmth, and leadership.
Professional doesn’t mean neutral. Color can make your brand photos more engaging and more you.
If you’re planning your own session, don’t shy away from that bold scarf or statement color.
Ready to stand out with brand photos that reflect the real you? Let’s make it happen.
Nonja’s Headshot Glow-Up: A Fun & Fabulous Studio Session
A great headshot is more than just a nice photo—it’s about feeling confident, looking like you, and having a little fun in the process! Nonja’s recent session at my Silver Spring studio was exactly that, with gorgeous makeup by Valerie Hammer Makeup Artistry and plenty of good vibes.
Headshots can feel so….intimidating. BUT, they can be fun! It’s about getting relaxed and feeling confident at the same time.
Easy, right?
yeahhh….not at all!
That’s why it is SO important to do the things that will bring a sense of comfort and confidence. This is what brings out the natural you.
It starts with hair and makeup. Putting you in the hands of someone that KNOWS hair and makeup and how to tailor it for you makes all the difference. I partner with Valerie Hammer Makeup Artistry (our studios are 2 minutes apart!) and she doesn’t just know the right makeup, she knows the right makeup for you and for photos. (I know, who knew they were different things?)
When you look great, you feel confident!
The next piece is feeling relaxed in front of the camera. That’s my job. :). It’s just me and you and I help walk you through exactly what to do. We play fun music and we keep it light and not-so-serious. (because too much of life is already serious!) And that’s how we make the magic happen!
Thank you, Nonja, for trusting Val and I to make you confident and relaxed in front of the camera and get these great photos!
We went for a mix of polished but natural looks, perfect for LinkedIn, websites, and anywhere else she wants to show up looking confident and approachable. No stiff, awkward poses—just easy, effortless headshots that let her personality shine.
If you’ve been putting off getting a new headshot because it feels intimidating (or just ugh—another thing on the to-do list), I promise, it’s way more fun than you think. Let’s make it easy and you—reach out to book your session today!
