Headshots

Close-up portrait of a man with dark brown hair, blue eyes, wearing a light pink collared shirt, outdoors with blurred green foliage background.

Headshots are Steve’s specialty.

Setting up lighting takes about 30 min. On average, we get to usable headshots within 15 minutes, but often go longer to accommodate optional outfit + environment changes.

Outdoor sessions can be scheduled in the first or last couple hour of sunlight, each day, while shooting indoors or in studio offers more flexibility, but we can do it anywhere.

This is Steve’s favorite medium because he get to know his clients, their stories, and proudly make them look their best, for years to come. Even if you’re shy, Steve can get find your most-vibrant-self in a short time.

He also began working on a book to share some meaningful stories of his own.

Steve now travels the world, vibing with enthusiasts and occasionally finds cool things along the Journey. Reach out to consign something or talk watches.
