I loved working with Divya. She was so bright and cheery she lifted the mood of my professional headshot studio in Palo Alto the moment she walkd=ed through the door, and we’re a pretty happy bunch.

Jed was a very interesting guy. I decided I would use Abraham Lincoln as my conceptual model for photographing him.

Like Lincoln Jed is very tall, 6’9 and has remarkably strong features. My goal for photographing him in my professional headshot studio in Palo Alto was to capture him in a natural stance that conveyed his strength, patience and quiet charm.

Rather than photograph such a tall man seated, which would have changed how he carried himself I built a platform that brought me up to his eye level. My theory was that if he was standing he would be more relaxed in front of the camera.

Everything worked out just the way I thought it would. We got great photographs that showed Jed’s charm and dignity.

I was excited to photograph Danny in my professional headshot photo studio in Palo Alto because I was intrigued by his bear. He let’s i run and be a natural extension of his easy-going personality.

I loved working with him and he had a lot of fun, too.

I wanted to communicate the concepts of Janine’s sparkling personality and dynamic presence. We worked together to achieve the goal. 

I coached Janine on pasture pose and stance extensively. Once she understood what she needed to do to look good and why it was easy to capture her authentic expressions of good cheer, compassion and enthusiasm. 

I loved working with Divya.

She brought her own makeup set that my Makeup Artist, Caitlyn Sslavich used for her.

Divya was fun and very responsive to my coaching in my professional headshot studio in Palo Alto. No0t only did I tell her what she had to do to get great headshots, I showed her why.

Once she saw the difference in the images we because very productive. The shoot resulted in 19m great proofs of which she chose four for her marketing and branding.
