Before Someone Meets You, They May Meet Your Photograph.

LinkedIn. Your website. Instagram. A dating profile. A speaker bio. A company directory. A business proposal.

Your photograph is often making an introduction before you ever enter the room.

And yet so many people are using a photograph they don't really like.

Maybe yours is several years old.

Maybe you cropped yourself out of a group photograph.

Maybe you've taken 30 selfies and still don't understand why none of them quite work.

Or perhaps you simply freeze when a camera is pointed at you.

The problem may not be you.

It may simply be that no one ever taught you what professional photographers know about creating a flattering portrait.

That's what I'm going to teach you.

I’ve Spent Decades Learning What Makes a Face Come Alive in a Photograph.

I've spent more than 35 years behind the camera photographing people.

I've photographed families and children, executives and entrepreneurs, models and personalities, and I've worked on major advertising campaigns.

But regardless of who is standing in front of my camera, I have learned something very important:

Most people don't automatically know how to photograph themselves well.

They don't know where the camera should be.

They don't know which light is flattering.

They don't know what to do with their chin, shoulders, eyes or expression.

And they often blame themselves when they don't like the photograph.

I created Take Your Own Headshot in 60 Minutes or Less to change that.

I've taken the principles I use as a professional portrait photographer and broken them down so that you can use them yourself—even if the only camera you own is the one on your phone.

This Isn't About Becoming a Photographer.

It's About Learning How to Photograph You.

You don't need to understand complicated photography terminology.

You don't need Photoshop.

You don't need a studio.

And you don't need to buy a professional camera.

I'll show you what to look for and what to change so that instead of taking photograph after photograph hoping one works, you begin to understand why one works.

You'll learn how small changes in light, camera height, body position, clothing, expression and background can make an enormous difference.

Imagine Knowing Exactly What to Do Before You Press the Shutter.

Inside the course, you'll learn how to:

• Find flattering light—even in your own home.

• Position your phone or camera correctly.

• Choose a background that doesn't compete with you.

• Discover the angles that flatter your face.

• Position your chin, neck and shoulders naturally.

• Angle your body so you look comfortable rather than stiff.

• Find your better side.

• Choose clothing and colors that photograph beautifully.

• Prepare your hair and makeup for the camera.

• Create natural expressions rather than a forced "camera smile."

• Avoid common mistakes that can make an otherwise good photograph fail.

• Review your photographs with a more professional eye and recognize what is working.

And perhaps most importantly:

You'll stop guessing.

You'll begin to understand how to intentionally create a photograph you feel confident using.

Think About How It Would Feel to Finally Have a Photograph You Actually Want People to See.

A photograph you're happy to put on LinkedIn.

A photograph you're comfortable putting on your website.

A photograph you don't apologize for.

A photograph that feels current.

Professional.

Approachable.

Confident.

And still like you.

Because a great headshot shouldn't turn you into somebody else.

It should help the person looking at it see the best of who is already there.

Is This Course for You?

I created this for real people—not professional photographers.

It's especially useful if you're an:

Entrepreneur or business owner who needs a polished online presence.

Professional or executive whose LinkedIn photograph no longer represents them.

Realtor, consultant, coach or salesperson whose face is part of their business.

Job seeker who wants to make a stronger first impression.

Speaker, author or creative who is constantly being asked for a photograph.

Mom returning to work or starting something new who suddenly realizes she needs a current photograph of herself.

Or simply someone who has always said:

“I hate pictures of myself.”

If that's you, I especially want you to take this course.

Take Your Own Headshot in 60 Minutes or Less

This is a practical, step-by-step system designed to take you from “I don't know what I'm doing” to actually taking your headshot.
