Ken is a master at putting the most camera-shy people at ease with his clear and gentle approach. A quick study, he guides people through simple poses that result in natural-looking portraits that convey confidence and accessibility.

A Few of the Companies that have Trusted our Work

What Clients Have Experienced

“I chose Ken to make on-site portraits of our patient families because of his easy way of directing groups of people who are unaccustomed to being photographed.  This is especially important to me because some of the kids are on active cancer treatment and can be uncomfortable about their appearance. Whether it was the patients, parents, or siblings, Ken put everyone at ease with his warmth and professionalism. And we were all delighted with the results!”

Lori Abrams

Director of Development, The Valerie Fund

Ken has an eye for capturing not just how people look, but how they feel. There’s always a sense of authenticity and warmth in the images that capture people’s personalities, which is hard to do with corporate portraits!

Working with Ken is a complete joy. It feels like working with a trusted friend who also happens to be incredibly skilled at what he does.

Amanda Donovan

Marketing & Business Development, PMA Consultants

“There’s a super relaxed, laid-back vibe to much of Ken’s images and the people he connects with are utterly unfazed by his presence”.

Christina Force

Photographer-mentor • Professional speaker • IPA Judge since 2011 • Co Founder & Chair of CA+

“Ken created an excellent and smooth event once again. The colleagues loved your work, and we look forward to working with you again later this year.”

Frequently Asked Questions

SERVICES

What types of headshots do you offer?

I specialize in professional headshots for executives, teams, and staff at all levels. I can create clean studio-style portraits, environmental images photographed in your office space, outdoors or other location, depending on your needs.

Can you match the style of our existing headshots?

Yes. I’ll review your current images and match the lighting and background so new photos blend seamlessly with what you already have.

Do you provide both individual and group sessions?

Absolutely. I regularly work with both individual executives and entire companies, from small teams to large corporate offices.

Do you offer headshots at events?
Yes. We can create great-looking headshots for large numbers of people at events such as a company meeting, conference or trade show. We provide individual selection and delivery of images and event photography for any type of event.
Do you provide retouching?
All final image files have basic enhancements, exposure, color and contrast included. We also include skin smoothing, stray hair and lint removal, teeth whitening and brightening the eyes as needed.

LOGISTICS

Can you photograph at our office?
Yes. Most of my work is done on-site. I bring the studio to you. I require a small conference room or any open space of 15 feet wide by 20 feet long, or larger is ideal, to set-up. But we have worked within smaller areas depending on the situation.
How long does each session take?
Most individual headshots take 5–10 minutes, while executives who want extra variety can plan for 20-30 minutes. Large teams would be more stream-lined at less than 5 minutes, depending on the number of people.
How much setup time do you need?

Typically, 60–90 minutes before the first session.

What kind of backgrounds can I choose from?
Most clients choose either white, grey or black. If you have a specific color to match, we will accommodate that as well. If you desire an environmental portrait, such as an office, hotel or outdoor location, we’ll select an ideal space to create a beautiful background. Depending on the request we may want to scout the area before the day of photo shoot.

PRICING & BOOKING

How is pricing structured?

Pricing is typically based on half-day or full-day sessions, with flexibility for smaller teams or individual portraits. I’m happy to provide a custom quote once I know your needs.

Do you charge for travel or rescheduling?

Local travel is included. For multiple locations or last-minute changes, I’ll provide clear costs upfront—no surprises.

IMAGE DELIVERY

How are the photos delivered?

You’ll receive a private online gallery within 2–3 business days for image selection and final retouched images within 1–2 weeks, depending on volume. You’ll be able to download both high-resolution (for print) and web-optimized files (for LinkedIn, website, social media, etc.).

OTHER

Do you provide wardrobe or grooming tips?

Yes. I send a preparation guide in advance with suggestions on clothing, grooming, and colors that work best for headshots.

Are you insured?

Yes. I carry full liability and equipment insurance. A copy of my certificate of insurance is available on request.

Do we own the photos once delivered?

While I retain the copyright to the photos, you receive full usage rights for business, marketing, and personal use.
