An executive portrait that carries the authority you already hold.
Executive and C-suite headshots for East Bay and Tri-Valley leaders, made for board introductions, investor decks, press features and the bio that does its job before you speak.
The Guide
You spend your day making decisions, not posing for a camera, and a portrait that reads as authority without feeling stiff is not easy to get on your own. That part is mine.
For 26 years I have photographed professionals, first in New York and Connecticut and now from my studio in downtown Pleasanton. I am a published author on personal branding and an Associate of Peter Hurley, and my work has earned more than 500 five-star reviews. Before the session we talk through where the image will be used, so it positions you the way you intend.
What an Executive Session is For
An executive session gives you the portrait that represents you where it counts: board introductions, investor and pitch decks, press and speaker bios, your company leadership page and your own profiles.
Most leaders leave with two looks. A tighter headshot for profiles and directories, and a wider portrait for decks, press and stage. One sitting, sized for every place your image appears.
How it Works
1. We plan. We talk through how and where the images will be used, the wardrobe and the look that fits your position.
2. We photograph. In the studio or at your office, I direct you through each step. You do not need experience in front of a camera. That part is my job.
3. You receive your set. Polished images sized for board decks, press, your leadership page and your profiles.
What Changes for You
Your portrait does its job before you say a word, positioning you as the leader you already are, across every room and every platform your name reaches. You stop reaching for a cropped photo from an event and start showing up at your level everywhere it counts.
Who This is For
C-suite leaders, founders, partners, board members, senior advisors and executives whose image needs to match the standing they have earned.
Frequently asked questions
What is an executive headshot?
It is a portrait made to represent a senior leader where it matters, on the leadership page, in investor and board decks, in press and on professional profiles.
What is the difference between a headshot and an executive portrait?
A headshot is a tighter head-and-shoulders image for profiles and directories. An executive portrait is a wider frame with more setting, used for decks, press and stage. Most executive sessions produce both.
