A Studio Session Built Around Your Goals

A studio session gives us room to play with backgrounds, lighting, and expression—all in one comfortable space. We can explore a polished professional look, something more relaxed, or a bold portrait that deserves its own spot on your website.

My studio is in Sausalito, California which is a super convenient option for clients coming from San Francisco, Marin, and throughout the Bay Area. With beautiful natural light and studio lighting available, we’ll choose an approach that suits you and how you plan to use your photographs.

Come As You Are. I’ll Help With the Rest.

You don’t need to practice poses or arrive knowing your “good side.” Before your session, I’ll share guidance on what to wear and how to prepare. During the shoot, I’ll direct you through small adjustments and give you feedback so you’re never left wondering whether you’re doing it right.

Camera-shy? Feeling awkward? You’re in very good company. Helping people get comfortable is a huge part of what I do, and there’s room to take a breath, ask questions, and ease into the experience.

We’ll create portraits for your professional profiles, website, speaker bio, or next creative chapter—with enough variety to give you choices.

Studio headshot sessions start at $650.
