About
If you already know what you need, you probobly don't need me.
This is for the leaders who leveled up but still looks like they're asking for permission.
The consultants who doubled their rates but whose image says otherwise.
People at high-stakes transition moments where the wrong image could cost them money (or worse, their reputation).
We define the exact outcome before we shoot, and I don't stop until we have the image that defines your next five years.

Questions
I'll Ask You.
What’s at stake in the next 90 days?
If the answer is "nothing much," you don't need me. But if you’re raising capital, pivoting your career, or stepping onto a bigger stage in the next 90 days, the stakes are too high for a mediocre image.

What is the cost of being underestimated?
You can’t control what people think, but you can control what they see. If your current image is costing you opportunities because it reads "junior," "uncertain," or "outdated," we fix that first. The most expensive photo isn't the one you pay for, it's the one that costs you the deal.

Is there a version of yourself you haven't shown professionally yet?
You’ve evolved, but your headshot is likely stuck in the past. We aren't documenting who you were. We are capturing the person you have become but haven't given yourself permission to show professionally yet.

What clichés do we need to kill?
This is critical. Every industry has a "look"—the crossed-arms consultant, the black-turtleneck founder. Which cliché do we need to actively avoid so you look like an original? We define what we are not doing before we decide what we are doing.
