A Modern, Comfortable Headshot Experience Designed Around You to Start 2026!
A new year is the perfect time to update how you visually represent yourself publicly, and my Pacific Grove photo studio is designed specifically for modern headshot photography. I offer a relaxed, friendly environment where clients feel comfortable — even if they don’t usually enjoy being photographed. With years of experience, a flexible schedule, and a clean, contemporary style, I make the process efficient and enjoyable. You can have your music of choice playing for the right vibe, while getting real-time image review during the shoot, and guidance throughout the session so you know exactly what your headshots are looking like as we are making them. I’m proud to have dozens of 5-star Google reviews, and my goal with every headshot session is to make sure you leave feeling confident and genuinely happy with your photos!
Christina had a 5-star headshot experience at my photo studio in Pacific Grove California
I welcome headshots clients to my photography studio in Pacific Grove, California to have a relaxed, and even fun photo session experience. Christina sent example headshots that were helpful in me preparing the studio before she even arrived so when she did, all was ready to go to make headshots that matched the examples, but still with my own signature style and quality. This in turn allowed Christina to get headshots she liked so much she gave the photo session a 5 star review (see below) and it also did not take up up more than 15 minutes of her time. Thank you Christina for the kind review and for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
When was the last time you actually felt good about a photo of yourself? For many people, having their photo taken can feel awkward or stressful — but it doesn’t have to be that way. My goal with every headshot session at my Pacific Grove photo studio is to make it a relaxed, fun, and empowering experience that leaves you not only with professional photos, but with a real confidence boost too.
Here’s how I make sure you’ll feel good during your headshot session:
Shooting tethered for live reviewing helps get the right smile each time!
Natalie and her husband visited my photo studio in downtown Pacific Grove for a series of new headshots for her. Natalie was looking for a couple of specific levels of smile in her headshots. Since I shoot tethered she was able to review each headshot we made in real time on a 43” screen. This allowed us to get the particular smile she wanted for each headshot as we shot on two different backgrounds (white and gray) and with a couple of different poses as well. This is one big benefit I offer headshot clients, the chance to see each headshot as we go through the photo shoot so we work together to get the exact headshot they want. Thank you to Natalie and her husband for a fun shoot, a creative one, and for a true team effort in making these headshots!
Modern Headshots made in studio in Pacific Grove California
Fadi visited my photo studio right in downtown Pacific Grove for updated professional headshots. He brought several different shirts, ties, and jackets. Since I shoot tethered to a 43” screen, he was able to see which shirt, tie, jacket combo he liked best in real time allowing him to get the looks he liked best during his studio experience. The flexibility of my studio for headshots allows getting different wardrobe changes all within just a 30 minute photo session, not taking up a lot of time for the client, while still having a fun and creative time in front of the camera. Thank you Fadi for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
A Creative Shoot for a Doctor in Monterey from Headshots to Branding Photos to a Group Shot
I met Dr. Allison and her staff at her clinic in Monterey, California aptly named Monterey Natural Wellnesss, to make a variety of professional photographs for her and her team. We started out with making some white background headshots with my on location studio setup. Then some branding photos of Dr. Allison before finishing with a group shot of the entire team. Her wellness center space made for a great photo studio so that her and her staff could get right back to caring for patients, taking up only an hour of their morning. That is what I offer clients with on location team headshots and personal branding photography. Thank you to Dr. Allison and team for being so great in front of the camera and choosing me as their photographer, and also to Elijah for assisting!
Studio headshots for a medical school application in Pacific Grove
Ivan is applying for medical school and needed headshots for that application process. I told him I have done this for many other students before, so meet me at my Pacific Grove headshot photography studio and we will make some great ones for your medical school applications. I kind of feel extra excited making headshots for student applications knowing that in some small way I will be helping them continue their education dreams. I also feel relief that I have already graduated from college and do not need to write any more research papers, ha! Good luck Ivan and thank you for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
