"Chad makes the session feel like you are simply hanging out with a friend."

"My prior view on a headshot photo was that it was something you had to do but not necessarily something you wanted to do. Chad completely shifted my view. I would recommend Chad to anyone looking for a new headshot that will look great but also be an easy/breezy experience!"

My Approach as a Headshot Specialist

Headshots likely make you feel awkward and uncomfortable. Maybe it's been years and you've added some extra pounds and wrinkles. Basically, life happened and now you're judging yourself.

Many photographers make it YOUR responsibility to look good in front of a camera. (Remember the last time your company brought in a photographer?)

It's MY responsibility to capture you at your best, and coach you to get there. And I take fabulous headshots of "not photogenic" (their words, not mine) people every day.

You don't need to think you're photogenic; you just need a skilled headshot specialist who knows how to:

  1. Create an environment for your personality to shine
  2. Accentuate your facial strengths
  3. Diminish your perceived weaknesses

This is why a headshot session with me is unlike any experience you've ever had before. I guarantee it won't suck.

What to Expect During Your Session

Guidance: We'll go through your wardrobe together to find some awesome combinations, all while debating life's important issues.

Lighting Perfection: Every person is different, so you'll chill out in front of my lights while I fine tune them for your face. If life is a game of inches, headshots are a game of millimeters.

Coaching: I'll teach you a few simple techniques and act as your mirror throughout the session, guiding you into the best poses.

Laughing: I say lots of dumb stuff to try to get you having fun. Maybe I'm funny, maybe I'm not, but you can laugh at me if you want.

Instant Reviews: I'll stop a few times to review images on the computer with you to make sure you like what you are seeing. My #1 priority is that we get results that you're super happy with.

If your last headshot experience was uncomfortable or boring – you went to the wrong photographer!

"This was the most comfortable and empowering experience!"

"Working with Chad was an amazing experience. Posing for headshots or professional photos can often feel daunting and uncomfortable, but Chad provides clear direction and helps you feel confident in achieving your goals. I would highly recommend him to everyone!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Individual headshots start at $400. Most clients invest between $1,000–$2,000 depending on usage, number of images selected, and goals. Final image selections are made after the session, ensuring you get exactly what you need. Fill out the form below and we'll be in touch!
Bring 3-4 outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. Start with more professional, safe neutral colors and also bring a few bold options. Don't forget to bring a few casual options too. Read more here!
Great! You're in the company of 95% of my clients (and they end up looking great, so I got you!) It's my responsibility to make you look amazing by first creating a comfortable space where you naturally start to feel great. My goal is to get you at least one super, awesome, OMG headshot. Still don't believe me, check out some of my reviews!
I never like my clients to feel rushed since everyone reacts differently to the camera. Therefore, sessions are booked out for 2 hours. We will shoot until you have the variety and range of expressions that you want. An average session runs 45-90 minutes including image selection at the end. If we run over a little bit, not a problem!
How many headshots and portraits you'd like to purchase is completely up to you. At the end of your session we will sit down together and narrow down to the best of the best. You are in complete control of how many images you walk out with, but most clients walk out with 5-6 images.
This is more than makeup - it's a confidence boost before you step in front of the camera. My makeup artist preps you to look (and feel) your absolute best, and it shows in the final images. About 70% of my clients add a makeup artist and consistently say it was the best decision they made. Just ask when booking - sessions with makeup are limited!
My studio is located at 830 Bay Ridge Ave in Pittsburgh's Brookline neighborhood, easily accessible from Downtown, Cranberry, Robinson and Mt. Lebanon in the South Hills. I'm just minutes from I-376 and Route 51.
The general rule is every 2-3 years, but you should also update whenever your appearance changes significantly - new hairstyle, glasses, weight change, etc. Your headshot should look like you when someone meets you in person. If clients or colleagues say "you look different than your photo," it's time for a refresh.
