One of the most common misconceptions about professional headshots is that people feel they're not photogenic - and that’s just not true! It’s completely understandable why many people feel this way though. Many of us have taken selfies or had a friend take a photo of us and ended up hating how we look in the photo.
Maybe it was the light, the angle, or just the lack of direction. Whatever it was, experiencing this can be a real confidence killer and may even make you hesitant to have professional business headshots taken! But here's the thing: it’s my job to make you look amazing!
Over the course of my 20+ year career, I’ve perfected making people look incredible in photos through expert posing, using lighting to your advantage, and identifying your best angles. Most importantly though, I help create a fun, engaging, and relaxing environment on set so you can let your authentic self shine and just have fun!
So, even if you don't think you're not photogenic - which is totally not true by the way - don’t hesitate to book a professional business headshot session! A skilled headshot photographer will know exactly how to pose you, how to use lighting to flatter your face, and help you relax and showcase your authentic and beautiful self! You might even be surprised at how much you enjoy the experience!
Over the last 9 years, every PBD team model has said that their confidence increased and they were able to see themselves in a different, more positive light. What a gift that is at this age!
Leading this team with my assistant Fiona, we work hard to create this life changing experience. Our mission is to show the girls the beauty we see in them, how each of us has our own unique beauty, and how we don't need to compare ourselves to others. Comparison is the thief of happiness and learning to believe in our unique individuality is the key to deeper happiness and self confidence.
We have included some photos from our 2023 Model Team to show the diversity of the shoots we do over the year!
