Whether you're an engineer, a healthcare provider or a business owner in the New London area, your headshot should look like you, not like a stock photo. We'll build your session around places that already look polished. The formal gardens at Harkness. The waterfront at Seaside. The open shoreline at Waterford Beach.
No stiff posing. No flat gray backdrop. Just a quick, relaxed session that leaves you with a headshot you're proud to put everywhere your name shows up.

The Vibe & Philosophy
Why Waterford Is Perfect For Headshots
Waterford offers something a studio can't: elegant estates and open coastline, all within a few minutes of each other. It feels refined and relaxed at the same time.
Harkness Memorial State Park gives you manicured gardens and classic architecture for a polished, timeless look. The beaches and waterfront bring soft coastal light for a fresh, approachable feel.
That range is what makes a Waterford session work. We can create a polished corporate headshot and a relaxed personal brand image in one short session, without ever stepping into a sterile studio.
Welcome! I've spent ten years photographing people across Connecticut, and I've learned that most people don't love being in front of the camera. That's exactly why I keep headshot sessions simple, guided and quick.
The awards are nice, but what I actually care about is that you leave feeling confident. No stiff posing. No forced smiles. No awkward standing around wondering what to do with your hands.
So bring the outfit you feel best in and a couple of backups. I'll handle the posing, the light and the details, so you walk away with a headshot you're proud to use.
