It’s no lie when I say my favorite non-camera gear purchase was my Flashpoint AD200. Also known as Godox, Newer, and CheetahStand AD200, these flashes shook up the flash photography industry by introducing incredible features in a small and relatively inexpensive form factor. I have three of these and carry at least one on every…
One of the most common fears I hear from my clients is that they don’t know how to pose. And I think that’s fair – posing isn’t always intuitive, and it’s taken me a long time to learn how to direct my subjects properly, so they look good in front of my camera. There are…
One of my most painful experiences was showing a client their headshots from the back of my camera and getting their approval during the session, only to show them the same images later on my computer and get very different feedback. There’s an obvious benefit to seeing pictures on a larger scale that helps reveal…
If you’ve ever wondered about the difference between good and outstanding photos, it usually comes down to composition, posing, and lighting. With the rise of mobile phones, we’ve all slowly become photographers with that piece of technology in our pockets. And I’m sure you can recall moments where you’ve taken a picture with your iPhone…
Over the years, I’ve noticed a handful of things that routinely make for a successful portrait session: avoid the rain if you can, planning makes for better photos, and asking someone to think of their favorite dirty joke leads to amazing expressions. Maybe it’s my engineering background or just how I was raised, but I’m…
Where 2020 was a year of some rude awakenings and good victories, 2021 was a year of growth and change moments for me. I revamped my photography business in many ways, changed jobs (the engineering life), tweaked my routines, and updated my priorities. So I’m really excited about how my 2021 ended and how 2022…
I have way too much photography equipment. Scratch that – I have a lot of gear. Each piece serves a purpose too. Of course, there’s some overlap between a few pieces, but there’s nothing in my bag I don’t use. I have such a robust gear kit because I photograph portrait sessions on location, headshots…
“I’ve got plenty of time,” you say to yourself. And then all of a sudden, deadlines are a week away, finals are coming up, college applications are due, and all that time just disappeared in the vortex of that magical time called “Senior Year.” Senior year goes by FAST. So when should you schedule Atlanta…
When most people get headshots, they typically only need one or two. This is standard for corporate types who work in a business setting. However, actor headshots are a completely different ballgame. Not only do actors need to have consistently fresh headshots, but they also need multiple looks. To achieve all of these different looks, you’ll need to know what to wear for acting headshots. I’ve compiled a list of suggestions to find the right colors, fits, and pieces to help you get booked.
How much does a headshot cost? If you’ve decided you need a new headshot, this is probably one of the first questions you’ve asked.

This post will go through the various headshot pricing models and other factors to consider, including approximate price points for each. Please be aware these numbers are most relevant to the Atlanta headshot photography market.
