Bay Area Headshot Photographer
For 26 years I've photographed executives, entrepreneurs and professionals across the Tri-Valley who are done with the photo that almost works. In one guided session at my private Pleasanton studio, you get portraits where authority meets authenticity.
Headshots That Make the Right First Impression
Confidence shows in a photo. So does doubt. My job is to bring out the first and set aside the second. Most of my clients arrive unsure how they'll look on camera. I understand. I coach you through every expression until your authority and warmth come through together. You leave with headshots that set the tone on LinkedIn and your website.
For Companies
Corporate and Executive Team Headshots
When your leaders’ headshots share the same quality, lighting and professionalism, your organization signals attention to detail. That consistency carries across your website, annual report and press releases.
I work with companies in Pleasanton, San Ramon, Dublin, Walnut Creek and throughout the Bay Area. In studio for smaller groups or on location at your office for ten or more people. Every session is coordinated in advance so the day runs smoothly and everyone walks away with images they are proud to use.
Global Network of Headshot Photographers
When your company spans offices, states or countries, location doesn't limit what I deliver. I work with a trusted network of headshot photographers across the United States and internationally. I coordinate each session directly so every person receives the same direction, care and attention to detail. The result is one consistent set of headshots across your entire organization, wherever your people work.

“I needed portraits that worked equally well for investor decks and board introductions. Nina understood immediately. We spent real time on strategy before the camera ever came out. The resulting images helped position me as the senior advisor, not the hopeful consultant.”
For Authors, Speakers and Entrepreneurs
Personal Branding Photography
A headshot shows people who you are. A personal brand image library shows what you do, how you think and why your work matters.
I photograph authors preparing a book launch, speakers building a platform, coaches and consultants whose business runs on credibility and entrepreneurs whose brand is inseparable from who they are. Each session is built around what you are launching and where your images will appear, from your website and book cover to press features and speaking bios.

Some portraits are for your business. Others are just for you. My women's portrait sessions celebrate who you are today, with the same coaching and care I bring to every session.

ITALY WITH NINA
You have been meaning to go to Italy. Not the tourist version. The real one. Every April a small group of women travel with me to a medieval hilltop village overlooking Lake Trasimeno in Umbria, with portraits to bring home.
