Portraits with Purpose
Portraits with Purpose
As an 8-year breast cancer survivor, this month holds a special place in my heart. To honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month, every October headshot session includes a complimentary portrait on our pink backdrop-so you can show your support in a
meaningful, visible way. In addition, a portion of every session will be donated to the charity For the Love of Cups. Together, we'll create portraits you
love and give back to a cause that's changed my life.

What 500 Clients Have Taught Me
I just hit 500 5-star Google reviews. That’s 500 stories of confidence, authenticity, and transformation—real people who trusted me to capture them at their best. Every single one tells me something important, not just about my work, but about the people I have the honor of photographing. And I realized there are a few powerful lessons hidden in these stories that I want to share.
First, authenticity wins. Time and again, clients tell me that what they love most is how real they look in their photos. It’s not about the perfectly posed image or trying to fit into some ideal. It’s about capturing who they truly are, and that honesty shows. It’s what makes a headshot feel alive, personal, and unforgettable.
Second, confidence is transformative. Many people share that after their session, they feel empowered—not just in their careers, but in life. A headshot isn’t just a photo; it’s a confidence boost. It’s a visual reminder that they can show up fully, authentically, and unapologetically. That’s the magic I see over and over.
I’ve also learned that the little things matter. The way I guide someone to relax in front of the camera, the lighting, the mood in the studio—these details shape the experience as much as the final image. Clients notice it, and it matters. Every tiny choice, every thoughtful touch, adds up to something that feels seamless, personal, and luxurious.
Finally, investing in yourself always pays off. Time and again, clients tell me booking a session was one of the best investments they’ve made in their personal or professional brand. That’s a message I hope everyone sees: you’re worth it. You deserve to feel seen, confident, and in control of your story.
Every review, every story, every smile has shaped my journey. I am endlessly grateful to all 500 clients taken the time to leave me a review and who’ve trusted me with their story, allowed me into their moments, and shared their confidence with the world.
If you’re ready to feel authentic, confident, and truly seen, let’s create your headshot experience together.
PODCAST: Visible Impact with Nina Pomeroy

Professional Headshots for Nonprofit Leaders
Had a blast shooting new headshots for Justin Sakogawa - President of Rockin’ Kidz Academy! Leaders like this inspire me—your photo should reflect the energy and passion you bring every day. Not only does it bring brand awareness to this amazing non-profit but personality and authenticity!
Capturing Confidence and Authenticity in Pleasanton
From Wall Street trading floors to downtown Pleasanton, I help people OWN their first impression.
Honored (and a little excited!) to be featured in the Pleasanton Downtown Association's Business Spotlight! ✨
From starting my photography journey 25+ years ago in Connecticut and New York… to creating a downtown Pleasanton studio where I get to help people look—and feel—their absolute best, it’s been an incredible journey.
No matter if it’s a signature headshot, an in‑depth personal branding experience, or a portrait you’ll love forever, my focus is always the same—delivering a luxury experience that helps you look and feel like the best version of yourself.
Along the way, I’ve cherished giving back through programs like Portraits For Patriots®, while also crafting exclusive, tailored experiences that elevate your personal branding beyond the studio—such as our intimate 2026 photo retreat in the breathtaking Umbrian countryside of Italy.
Huge thanks to Pleasanton for supporting local creativity. 💛

Our last two Italy trips filled fast—so we're opening the waitlist early. With just 7 spots, this intimate escape is designed for those who appreciate beauty, connection, and great food.
This curated trip brings together all the things I love most—Italy, exceptional food and wine and real laughter.
We’ll stay at a stunning 14th-century palazzo—restored by my dear friends and is now a one-of-a-kind boutique hotel on the Umbria-Tuscany border. B-Corp certified and featured in Condé Nast and Robb Report—and yes, they produce their own olive oil! This itinerary is somewhat slow-paced to enjoy our environs and be present for it all.
If you'd like to be considered for the waitlist for this unforgettable experience, fill out the interest form below. We will be reaching out for a quick Zoom call to discuss all the details.
Don't Lie, You Judge Too...
At a recent local business event, I found myself totally distracted—not by the speaker’s message, but by his outfit. He was the manager, the face of the company, and yet… he wore a mismatched, oversized suit that looked straight out of a forgotten closet. His right-hand guy? Same vibe. Ill-fitting suit and CROC clogs.
And like it or not—we all judge.
When I’m deciding who to trust with my business, those first few seconds matter. I want to see polish. Confidence. Effort.
And it’s not just about what you wear in person. Your headshot—the one on LinkedIn, your website, even your business card—is speaking for you when you're not in the room. If it’s outdated, blurry, or taken in your backyard, it’s time to upgrade. A high-end, recent, professional image makes a world of difference in how you're perceived.
Because first impressions aren’t just skin-deep—they set the tone for everything that follows.
This is all about personal branding. If you’re unsure what personal branding means, or why even you need to pay attention to your own, get my E-BOOK OWN-IT. It has actionable steps to help you understand the importance and how to get there.
Or if you’re ready to show up as the face of your brand as the confident, polished and ambitious person you are, contact me for a free consult and we can do my complimentary Brand Strategy process along with your photoshoot. I won’t let you fail. I’ll make you look the very best you can be!
