Forget the stiff, corporate look. Your headshot should capture who you are—not who you think you're supposed to be.

I'm usually the one doing said photo taking, but when I finally decided to get headshots, I knew I had to go with Carissa.
I love her work and her process and her passion. Getting to work with her in the studio was a great time, to the point where it went by like a flash.
From one photographer to another, she's absolutely fantastic!

Frequently asked questions
For headshots, 5 final edited images.
- Focus on your face and expression.
- Usually taken against a simple background.
- Designed for professional use (LinkedIn, business profiles, acting submissions, etc.).
- Clothing is simple, polished, and industry-appropriate.
- Showcase your range as a model.
- Include a variety of looks: close-ups, ¾ shots, and full-body images.
- Aim to show personality, movement, and how you work with different styles, poses, and lighting.
- Outfits are more fashion-forward and styled to highlight your versatility.
- Often used for building or updating a modeling portfolio.
- Choose solid colors. Neutral tones, jewel tones, or soft pastels work great. Avoid busy patterns, stripes, or logos.
- Wear something that matches your industry. A blazer or dress shirt works well for corporate looks, while a clean, simple top may be better for creative or casual fields.
- Bring layers. Jackets, cardigans, or scarves can add variety without needing a full outfit change.
- Fit matters. Clothes should be well-fitted but comfortable—nothing too baggy or too tight.
- Necklines matter. V-necks, scoop necks, or collared shirts usually frame the face nicely.
- Keep jewelry simple. Minimal accessories help keep the focus on your face.
- Grooming counts. Make sure your hair is neat, and consider light makeup or powder to reduce shine
