Your headshots and personal brand images are more than just photos; they're an opportunity to tell your unique story and make a lasting impression.
My mission is to provide small business owners, entrepreneurs, and creatives with a relaxed headshot experience that will result in images that communicate your story to your specific audience. Images you'll be proud to use to update your website, LinkedIn, Social Media, or dating profile.
Feeling overwhelmed at just the thought of planning a shoot? I'm dedicated to ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for you, walking you through the session to capture the most authentic version of yourself. Starting with a wardrobe and design consultation, including complimentary hair and makeup on the day of your shoot, along with expert posing guidance and a Same Day Reveal, your headshot and personal brand photography experience is meticulously designed to provide you with fabulous photos without any unnecessary stress.
Elevate your brand with tailor-made images designed to make a powerful impression in your industry.
First, share some details with us about the types of images you're hoping to achieve through my contact page! I’ll be in touch within 48 hours to schedule a time to chat!
All of my portrait experiences are completely custom and designed to create impactful images for your professional use, so I’ll want to talk about your vision and how you'll make the best use of your images. I offer both in-studio headshot sessions and on-location personal brand lifestyle sessions, providing the flexibility to fit your session vision.
I believe that every client is unique, and your headshot should reflect that. I'll take the time to understand your personality, industry, and goals, tailoring the session to bring out the best in you. I'll help you plan your wardrobe and make recommendations for the location of your shoot.
The headshot experience takes place on weekdays. We begin with complimentary hair and makeup at 9:30am to ensure you look and feel your best for your portrait session.
When your session day arrives, professional hair and makeup will be provided and I'll expertly guide you through every pose and prompt, capturing a variety of images for you to choose from. Whether you choose an in-studio or lifestyle session, you can rest assured that all of our pre-planning will result in natural images that feel uniquely you.
After your session, you'll get to see your images right away during your Same Day Reveal. You'll choose your favorites right on site. No going home feeling anxious about how your photos turned out!

A: I fully retouch all the photos you choose to purchase.
Q: Do you photograph groups of people?

She took the time to outline a plan and style we wanted. We scheduled about 10 people over two days, including hair and makeup at her studio. Everything ran so smoothly and it was a fun experience! All of the staff who came for their photos were pleased and relieved at how easy it was for them. We selected photos same day with each staff member so that there was not a long process to finalize them. Headshots were ready to go quickly and look great in print or on our website! We could not recommend Idalia Photography more highly!
