Headshot Sessions: Silver Spring MD and Washington DMV
I photograph headshots in my Silver Spring, Maryland studio located in the Poplar Run neighborhood, and I work with clients across the DMV including Montgomery County, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia.
Headshots are 30-45 minute sessions to capture photographs of your lovely face, smiling at the camera. They include 5 digital downloads for individuals.
Who needs a headshot? …small business owners, therapists and counselors, attorneys and financial professionals, real estate agents, educators, coaches, and consultants, creatives, artists, and wellness practitioners, federal employees and nonprofit leaders…YOU!
Your headshot should feel like you and support the work you do. In my Silver Spring studio, I keep things simple with soft light, clean backgrounds, and easy direction so you can relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whether you need new photos for LinkedIn, your website, a speaking event, or your business, I’ll guide you through poses that feel natural and intentional.

The main benefit of a studio session is CONTROL. Lighting and location is not subject to weather or time of day and we know the photos are going to look great and consistent!
You’ll fill out a short questionnaire to get more background on your needs so we can pick a background that makes sense for you. I have basic backdrops of black, white or grey, along with more "environmental" shots of sitting at a desk or chair, etc.
Perfect for that LinkedIn headshot update!
Federal employee rate available for qualifying sessions. Contact me for details.

“I am thrilled with the pictures from my session! As someone who absolutely dreads taking pictures by myself, I was a bit nervous at first, but Ginny and Val, the makeup artist, made me feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the whole process. The photos turned out better than I could have imagined, and I couldn’t be happier with them! I highly recommend Ginny for anyone looking for a professional and talented photographer!”
