Tri-Valley Headshot Photographer
Where Authority Meets Authenticity
Your headshot isn't just for LinkedIn. It's the first impression before the pitch, the credibility check before the partnership, the visual answer to "should I take this person seriously?" I help Tri-Valley executives get this right, not just once, but across every platform that matters.
I have over 26 years of experience, starting in New York and Connecticut before establishing my studio in Pleasanton ten years ago. Based in Pleasanton, I photograph professionals across the Tri-Valley including Pleasanton, San Ramon, Dublin, Livermore, Danville and Walnut Creek. My clients include executive teams in biotech, finance, law and real estate, and 500+ five-star reviews tell the rest of the story.
“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.”
THE PROCESS
Before you step in front of the lights, we discuss where these portraits need to work—boardrooms, pitch decks, media, LinkedIn. During your session, you get expert direction that makes you look natural and authoritative. You leave with finished images ready for every professional context.

EXECUTIVE TEAM PORTRAITS
When your leadership team's headshots share the same quality, lighting and professionalism, it signals an organization that pays attention. We work with corporate teams of all sizes across the Tri-Valley, in-studio for smaller groups, on-location for teams of 10 or more.
PERSONAL BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Brand photography goes beyond a headshot. It produces a library of images: portraits, candids and lifestyle content all built around your business, your personality and how you want to show up across every platform.
“Like most people, I don’t love having my photo taken but Nina quickly understood exactly what I needed and made the entire process easy-going and lot of fun!”
ACTOR HEADSHOTS
Acting headshots that get you in the room. The Bay Area has opportunities in film, television, and theater—your headshot is what gets casting directors to actually look at you.
Whether you're booking your first audition or updating your look between roles, you need images that show range without overthinking it.
“As an actor, I need headshots that fit a range of roles—and Nina always delivers. She’s efficient, collaborative, and has an incredible eye for detail. I’ve worked with her several times, and every session leaves me with polished, professional images that stand out. She’s truly the go-to for actor headshots.”
