Tucson’s Top Rated Headshot Photographer
Be confident. Be approachable. Be unforgettable.
A headshot session with me is more than just stepping in front of a camera—it’s a transformative experience designed to elevate your personal brand. From the moment you enter my comfortable studio, every detail is tailored to help you look and feel your best, with expert lighting and precision that ensures a flawless image. But what truly sets my sessions apart is my expression coaching. I don’t just take photos—I guide you through the process of capturing the exact expression that will sell your story, your confidence, and your value to others. Without this level of coaching, it would be just another session, but you deserve more than average—you deserve a headshot that works as hard as you do. Let’s create something that not only looks professional but also helps you succeed.
What is Expression Coaching and How It Sets Me Apart
Expression coaching is at the heart of what makes my headshot sessions unique. It’s the one-on-one time I dedicate to working with you to capture the exact expression you need for your headshot—whether that’s a confident, approachable smile, a subtle micro-expression, or even a genuine laugh sparked by one of my notoriously bad jokes. Let’s be honest—99% of the people who step into my studio aren’t naturally comfortable in front of a camera, and that’s totally normal! My job is to guide you through the process, helping you relax and bringing out expressions that feel real, not forced.
Together, we’ll review the photos live during the session, critiquing and tweaking as we go, so you leave with images you love. Anyone can ask you to smile and snap a photo, but that’s not why you’re here. You’re here because you want the best experience and the best results—and that’s exactly what I’m here to deliver. With my coaching, we won’t stop until we’ve captured the perfect expression that truly represents you.

Frequently Asked Questions-
Try not to focus too much on clothing. The most important thing is to bring clothes you love wearing. If you wear something that you don’t feel good in, your discomfort will show in your expression. A good rule of thumb is to dress the way you would for an important meeting in your industry. I will send you more detailed information before your shoot, and we will review your selection on the day of the shoot.
