Even so, you can't motivate yourself to book a session with a photographer.
→ "I want to lose 15 pounds before the camera adds ten.
→ "Sure, my headshot is five years old but I look basically the same, right?"
→ "I cropped out my partner from a photo at the last wedding we attended. After all, a professional did take it."
→ "I just can't shake the nightmares from school picture day in eighth grade. OMG, my hair!"
... In other words: "Is a headshot reeeeaally that necessary?"
Because it's 2022 and, like it or not, you have something called a personal brand. And the cornerstone of your online brand is not a logo, a font, or even a resume.
It's your headshot.
The short answer: yes.
From LinkedIn profile to Zoom placeholder.
Casual and inviting professional headshots so you can connect with confidence; pursue that next big lead; or, quite simply, show up as your true self, laugh lines and all.
FACT:
Most people would rather go to the dentist than stand in front of the lens.
I get it! Let’s all acknowledge that having your photo taken requires vulnerability and confidence.
Your job is 80% trusting the process and 20% just showing up.
My job is 80% helping you feel confident in front of the camera and 20% taking pictures.
Rest assured: I will tell you how to stand; where to look; and what to do with your hands. And yes, I will absolutely fix your fly-aways. #igotyou

Introducing my first ever
Portraits and Pints Happy Hour Headshot Event
Grab a glass of your favorite brew and put your best face forward – on-camera and off – for an evening of networking, community, and, of course, portraits
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2022

SENATE BLUE ASH
1100 Summit Pl., Blue Ash OH 45242
I’ve partnered with some of my #businessbesties from Queen City Charisma of Success Champion Network to join me.
Together, we have connections to some of the most influential business leaders throughout Cincinnati and boast a healthy referral rate.
Translation: it’s basically a guarantee you will meet some amazing business-minded folks who serve with heart and hustle.
Heads up: I expect this event to draw a crowd.
Don't let an old headshot hold you back from the right first impression.

ON-lOCATION PORTRAIT SESSION WITH NATURAL LIGHT.
Lifestyle portrait using indoor and outdoor locations at Senate Blue Ash at Summit Park.

Typically, I charge a $450 minimum for everyheadshot session.
But, for this event only, you can snag an individual headshot for just $147.
This is the first time I’ve offered this type of event at this pricing… and I don’t plan to offer this too often (read: once, maaaaaybe twice yearly).
And this is truly the only time you can skip the line AND the $450 shoot minimum while still snagging a casual, fun, looks-like-you professional headshot at my group rates.
BUT…. there are ONLY 12 spots.
Once they’re booked, they’re booked. I won’t be adding more and I don’t plan to do another event until 2023. #scoutshonor
I'll be there!
