Towards the end of 2017, I discovered how much I enjoy photographing lifestyle headshot sessions for fellow entrepreneurs. The most common questions I receive from my clients are, "What do you recommend I wear for my photos? What colors and styles photograph best? Are there any patterns I should stay away from?" Luckily I've been photographing portraits for years, so I've picked up plenty of ideas for the best outfit styles and session planning tips!

When people ask me to describe my photographic style, I tell them it's a mix between photojournalism and fine art, allowing me to capture genuine, organic moments that unfold naturally.
