If you’ve ever said any of these, you’re in the right place:

• “I look awkward and rigid.” 

• “The photographer said maybe 4 sentences… none look good.” 

• “I honestly have no idea what to wear.” 

• “Unfortunately… the photos don’t look very much like me.”

Those aren’t “you” problems — they’re process problems. You don’t need to become photogenic overnight. You need a photographer who gives clear direction, helps you choose what to wear, and makes sure your final images still look like you.

What you get with LV Portrait Design headshots

• Pre-session guidance: wardrobe, grooming, and purpose (LinkedIn vs website vs speaking)

• Fully directed posing (so you never wonder what to do with your hands)

• Studio and/or on-location

• Multiple looks (as needed)

• Retouching that keeps you recognizable (polished, not plastic)

• A short-list of final selects you’ll actually use

You’ll choose your favorites — no surprises.

A simple process (so you don’t overthink it)

Step 1: Plan

We clarify what the headshot needs to do (role, industry, vibe), and we’ll align wardrobe and background.

Step 2: Shoot

I coach you through expression + posture + micro-adjustments so you don’t end up feeling stiff.

Step 3: Select

You’ll see the best images together and choose the final set with my guidance.

Step 4: Deliver

You’ll receive final images ready for LinkedIn, your website, and team bios.

Consultations are complimentary and pressure-free.

“What do I wear?”

Most people don’t need a brand-new wardrobe. They need clarity. We’ll pick outfits that fit your role and read well on camera (especially in that tiny LinkedIn thumbnail).

Bring 2–3 options and we’ll decide together.

• Solid colors > busy patterns

• Necklines that flatter (and don’t distract)

• Layers add polish (blazer, jacket, structured sweater)

• Avoid shiny fabrics and tiny high-contrast prints

Natural retouching — no “uncanny valley” vibes

A lot of people are comparing professional photos to AI headshots now — and the biggest complaint is simple: it doesn’t look like them.  Our approach is the opposite: magazine-level lighting and careful retouching that keeps your features true-to-life.
