As a personal brand photographer and stylist based in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, I help women across the Twin Cities feel confident, polished, and prepared when it’s time to step in front of the camera.

Whether you’re updating your LinkedIn profile, refreshing your website, or getting ready for a personal brand photoshoot, a polished headshot is a must.

But if the thought of being in front of the camera makes you nervous—or you’re not sure how to prepare—you’re not alone.

That’s exactly why I created the free Headshot Prep Guide—to help you feel confident, look your best, and make the most out of your time in front of the lens.

The right prep can be the difference between photos you like and photos you love.
