Why Pick Me?

Growing up with hearing loss has enabled me to notice details others miss.

Pursuing a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, I use my knowledge to quickly build rapport and help you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Professional makeup?
I recommend it. Studio lighting detects blemishes, ruddiness, and under-eye bags. If you do your own makeup, apply more than average to compensate.

What should I wear?
Opt for mostly solid colors. Try on what you plan to wear beforehand. 

Do you bring the studio to us?
Yes, taking headshots at your workplace ensures minimal disruption to your workflow. 

What are the backdrop options?
I offer a variety of colors. If you have a backdrop preference I don't currently offer, I can arrange for a custom order for your shoot. 

Do you provide retouching?
Yes. My retouching includes adjustments to white balance, exposure, and contrast, as well as skin tone corrections, blemish removal, and eye and teeth whitening. 

Explain editing selection.
I provide you with the unedited proofs and you pick your favorites. I take care of the editing from there.

“I had a wonderful experience with Connor. The photoshoot itself was a fun experience, and the final product exceeded my expectations. As someone who hasn't been the subject of many photoshoots, I can say that Connor was helpful in making me feel at ease and guiding me to strike just the right poses. I would recommend him wholeheartedly!”
