Cincinnati Headshot Photographer: Capture Your Best Self

Professional Headshots for Business and Personal Branding

Are you a business professional, actor, model, or entrepreneur in need of a headshot that actually looks like you and not some stiff, awkward corporate photo? I got you. As a Cincinnati headshot photographer, I specialize in creating headshots that show off your personality and make you look as good as you actually are.

My Cincinnati studio is set up to make this easy and fun. We'll collaborate on looks, swap out backgrounds, play with lighting, and make sure you walk out with images you're proud to put everywhere. LinkedIn, your website, business cards, all of it.

Let's work together to create a headshot that actually makes people stop scrolling.

Common questions

  • For our full photography sessions, you can bring up to 4 outfits! Each session lasts 90 minutes, and we’ll make sure to split the time effectively so you can showcase each look.

  • Yes! I have wardrobe to use in all my sessions. A lot of my wardrobe is on the fancier side though. If you’re looking for something super casual or not over the top, my wardrobe might not be your best solution.

  • Sessions take place in my studio most of the time. However, I’m more than happy to come to a location of your choosing if you’re looking for more of a branded look.

  • Just yourself and whatever you would like to wear. Feel free to bring any hair, makeup, clothing or accessories to swap around during your shoot.

  • This is totally up to you! I offer an add-on package with Pout Studios in Newport, Kentucky, for professional hair and makeup, or you’re welcome to do your own. Whatever works best for you is the way to go! Let’s make your session perfect for you!

  • Every session is different, so pricing depends on what you need. Whether it's a quick single-look session or a full shoot with multiple outfits and backgrounds, I'll work with you to find the right fit. Send me a message and I'll get you all the details!

  • A headshot is focused on your face and upper body and is typically used for professional purposes like LinkedIn, your company website, or business cards. A portrait is more of a full creative session. That said, I blend the two all the time. My headshots aren't stiff corporate photos. They show who you actually are while still looking polished and professional.

  • Yes! I photograph teams of all sizes, from small startups to large companies. Everyone gets individual attention and we keep the look consistent across the group so your website and marketing materials look cohesive. It's also a lot of fun when the whole team comes in together.

  • Absolutely, that's what most people use them for! You'll get digital files that are ready to go for LinkedIn, Instagram, your website, business cards, speaker bios, dating profile, whatever you need. I make sure you walk out with images that work everywhere.

  • I hear this all the time and the answer is always yes. Most people who say they're not photogenic have just never had a photographer who knows how to make them comfortable. That's literally my job. We'll hang out, put on some music, try different angles and lighting, and by the end you'll forget you were nervous. I promise you'll love your photos.
