Who books headshots here
One standard: a portrait you would be proud to put at the top of your name.
Professionals and firms
Lawyers, physicians, agents, consultants, and firms refreshing LinkedIn, bios, and company pages. Clean, current portraits that look like you on your best day.

Artists, writers, performers, speakers, and anyone whose face is part of the work. Headshots with more character than the standard gray backdrop, still clean enough for a press page.
How a headshot session runs
Direction is the difference. You will never be left to guess what to do with your hands.
Plan
Tell us where the headshots will live: a website, LinkedIn, a press kit, a conference program. That decides the framing, the backdrop, and how formal we go.
Wardrobe and look
We plan wardrobe together before the shoot and talk through hair, grooming, and glasses, so nothing is left to chance on the day.
The session
Intentional lighting and real direction. Monique guides posture, angles, and expression until the frames feel natural rather than posed.
Selection and finishing
Once the session wraps, the strongest frames are selected and finished with a light, natural touch, ready to use wherever you need them.
What to wear for your headshots
General guidance. We will plan wardrobe together before the shoot, so bring questions.
Solid colors over patterns
Solids keep the attention on your face. Fine stripes and busy prints fight the camera.
Fit matters more than brand
Choose pieces that fit well through the shoulders and collar. Tailored beats expensive every time.
Bring two or three options
A classic layer and something with more personality. We will decide together on the day.
Grooming the day before
Haircuts and trims a few days ahead, a fresh press on your clothes, and glasses cleaned. Small things read large in a headshot.
Recent headshots and portraits
A selection of portrait work. Every headshot session is built on the same direction and light.
