If you’re a professional or entrepreneur in Elmwood Park, New Jersey, chances are you’ve thought about updating your headshot—but maybe you’ve put it off. Whether it’s for LinkedIn, your company website, or your personal brand, a powerful headshot is one of the most important tools in today’s professional world.
As a business headshot photographer serving Elmwood Park and the surrounding Bergen County area, I specialize in helping people feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera—so they walk away with a photo that actually looks like them on their best day.
Common Headshot Pain Points (And How I Solve Them)
Most clients I work with share similar concerns when it comes to headshots:
- “I hate being photographed.”
This is the most common one. I get it—posing for photos can feel awkward. That’s why I guide you through the entire process, helping you feel relaxed with easy prompts and real-time feedback on a monitor during the session. - “I never like how I look in pictures.”
Part of my job is to bring out your best angles, expressions, and energy. You’ll see the shots as we go, so we can tweak anything from lighting to posture on the spot. - “I don’t have anything to wear.”
I provide wardrobe tips before your shoot (see below), and many clients bring a couple of outfit options to try. - “I don’t have time.”
I work fast. Most sessions take about 15-30 minutes, and I’ll send your proofs quickly so you can choose your favorite(s) with no delay.

With 30 years of experience photographing business professionals, actors, and executives, I bring a calm and efficient energy to every session. My studio is a short drive from Elmwood Park, and I also offer on-location sessions for offices and teams.
Here’s what sets me apart:
- Live preview monitor: See how you look during the session and make real-time adjustments.
- Unlimited shots: We shoot until we get a result you’re happy with.
- Fast turnaround: Proofs are sent quickly, and retouched images are delivered with a natural, clean finish.
- Comfort-first approach: I understand most people aren’t professional models—I help you feel and look confident.
What to Wear for Your Headshot
Simple, clean, and classic always wins. Here are a few tips:
- Solid colors work best—avoid busy patterns or logos.
- Avoid white unless it’s layered under a blazer or sweater.
- Stick with neutrals (black, navy, gray, earth tones) or colors that flatter your skin tone.
- Bring options—sometimes a quick wardrobe change can completely change the look.
- Jewelry should be minimal and not distracting.
- Hair and makeup should be clean, polished, and true to your everyday look. For women, light makeup that reduces shine works well. For men, a fresh shave or trim is ideal.
How to Prepare for Your Headshot Session
The day before:
- Get a good night’s sleep—rested eyes and skin make a big difference.
- Avoid alcohol or salty foods that might cause bloating or puffiness.
- Drink lots of water.
The day of:
- Bring 1–2 outfits.
- If you wear glasses, clean them thoroughly.
- If you tend to get shiny skin, bring blotting paper or powder (optional—we can adjust lighting if needed).
- Trust the process. I’ll guide you through the posing and expression.
