Headshot Photography Session Info
Professional Headshots - Los Angeles And Ventura

I offer a 30-minute photo session focusing on great, natural expressions and your best "side," professionally lit to make you look amazing! I will help you pose in the most flattering manner based on your personal branding goals. We will shoot approximately 50 images. This variety of images will give you a great selection to choose from. Your session includes 1 pose. (Additional poses can be ordered.)

I offer immediate image selection directly after your shoot. With my professional guidance, together we will spend 30 minutes comparing your best images side-by-side on a large screen, simplifying your decision. My clients really appreciate my experienced eye, helping them make the best choice.

Within your 30-minute session you will have time to change your clothing and hair. We will change the direction you are facing - for multiple looks and varied selection. We even have time to change the background color. I continue photographing until I KNOW we have captured your BEST look! How do we know? I will photograph directly into an iPad, so you are able to see your image just as I take it, offering IMMEDIATE feedback on how your session is progressing! My clients LOVE this feature for it helps put them at ease reassuring them that they look good, so we can continue making GREAT images together.

Your choice, indoors or outdoors for the formal or casual look. I even offer "virtual backgrounds" - I can add artwork to the background and place you in any environment or exact color match you would like!

Social Media / LinkedIn contemporary white background or traditional corporate portrait background are popular. Digitally enhanced “Virtual” backgrounds are also available as custom artistic composites.

Perhaps you would like to have your portrait transformed virtually into your fantasy location such as Paris?

Removal of stray hairs, lint, whitening your eyes and teeth, reduce under-eye circles, shave off a few pounds, remove double chins, take off a bit of gray hair, subtly smooth out skin and wrinkles - all done through the eye of an artist -not overdone, but done just enough, keeping that natural look! (Shhhh....this is the secret to an AMAZING personally branded corporate portrait.) See Before & After Retouching Samples Here.

Two sizes of your photo in jpg digital format are included with your full-service corporate portrait session. You will receive 2 files - (1) large for print high resolution, 300 dpi and (1) small file 72 dpi, web-resolution, perfect for online social media and web use. We also offer other products including professional luster prints and framing (not included).

Your professionally retouched headshot (one pose included in your session) will be emailed directly to you in two sizes (300 dpi - large for print use, and small, 72 dpi), optimized for specifically for use online) within 2-3 days. A premium rush service is available for those needing their portrait sooner. If you would like more than one pose, additional photographs can be ordered during our selection session.

Your file(s) come complete with the licensing rights to use your images for personal and business use. Copyright remains with the photographer.

We photograph in our Agoura Hills studio or our new Escondido (San Diego) studio. We are also available to shoot at your location (location fee applies) - Corporate Headshots are done at your convenience.

For those needing a simple, budget-friendly headshot solution, I do offer a 15-minute mini-session. This basic session includes one unretouched small, low-resolution (72 dpi), web-optimized  .jpg file. Your file will include basic color correction and cropping.

Your photo does NOT include retouching. (See my Before & After Retouched Samples - This session includes the "before" image.) This photo is NOT suitable for print use.  We will shoot ~ 15 images and choose directly off the iPad - great session for those in a hurry! (Additional images can be ordered.)  Contact me by email or for faster response give me a call to find out more information or book directly online.

Since I book a limited number of sessions per week, and I do book in advance by telephone or online booking, session date and time held with a credit card. I encourage you to call promptly to hold your preferred date and time.

Sessions are non-refundable and 48- hours required to reschedule a session (one time only.) A fee applies if less than 48-hour notice. We honor major credit cards and checks.

I am fully vaccinated. I have remodeled my studio with full ventilation. I sanitize between clients. Image selection is on large screen monitors, so we can spend the time comparing images side-by-side during our professionally guided image selection.

I want to make sure you are truly happy with your images. I shoot directly into an iPad so you can see our progress and we go along.

We then download the photos into the computer and select the images together on a large screen monitor directly after the shoot.

If you are not happy we will photograph you again until you are completely happy with the results (as my 200+ 5-star customer reviews will attest!)
