See It the Way LinkedIn Shows It
LinkedIn crops every photo into a circle, then shrinks it. Here is how a studio headshot holds up at each size.
On your profile
The largest place your photo appears. Recruiters and new contacts decide here whether you look like someone they want to talk to.
Next to your posts
At this size, lighting and a clean background do the work. A dim phone selfie turns into a dark smudge.
In search and comments
Only your face and expression survive this small. That is why I frame tight and coach the expression, not just the pose.
For people who would rather stand behind the camera
Guided posing, start to finish
You never have to guess what to do with your hands or which way to turn. I direct each adjustment, one small change at a time.
Coaching through every expression
Most nervous smiles come from holding still too long. I keep you talking and moving, and I coach each expression until it reads as confident and warm.
Nothing is a surprise
We review the images on the monitor together during the session, so you leave knowing you already have a photo you like.
Being camera-shy is not a problem here. It is who I photograph most.
What Happens at Your Session
You book and get a prep guide
Choose your session on the rates page and reserve your time online. A session prep guide follows, with what to wear and how to get ready.
You arrive at a quiet studio
Pull into the free parking, step inside, and settle in. There is no audience and no rush, just you and me.
We take your photos together
Depending on the session you choose, we work for 30 minutes up to 90 minutes, with guided posing throughout and a check on the monitor as we go.
You choose, I retouch
Your proofs arrive in a private online portal. You pick the images included in your package, and the fully retouched files follow in 7 to 10 business days.

A Studio Close to Home
Minutes from Route 50
The studio sits in South Riding (Chantilly), less than a mile from Route 50. Clients come from Ashburn, Leesburg, Reston, Herndon, and Tysons Corner without fighting their way into the city.
Fits a local errand day
Sessions run Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. Because the drive is short, a session fits a morning off, a long lunch, or a quiet afternoon at home.
What to wear
Solid colors and a jacket or blazer you already feel good in photograph best for LinkedIn. Bring a second option and we will choose together. My guide on what to wear for a headshot covers colors, necklines, and glasses.
A private setting
The studio is a private space, not a busy storefront, which helps the shyest clients relax faster. You are never photographed in front of strangers.

No. Freezing up is the most common thing I hear before a session. I give you one small direction at a time, for your chin, shoulders, hands, and breathing, and I coach you through every expression until it looks like you on a good day.
