I’m going to tell you something that everybody is afraid to tell you. Your headshot sucks. It’s outdated, poorly lit, awkwardly posed, or just plain uninspiring. Maybe it’s a grainy selfie from your phone, a weirdly cropped wedding photo, or worse—something you took a decade ago that no longer even looks like you.

And guess what? That headshot is speaking for you before you even open your mouth. Online, your photo is your first impression, whether it’s LinkedIn, your website, or a professional bio. A bad headshot tells the world that you don’t care about your image, your brand, or the opportunities that come from looking like the pro you are.

The Problem with Bad Headshots

Lighting Matters: Bad lighting can make you look tired, older, or just unprofessional. Flat, harsh, or uneven light can ruin even the best expressions.
Posing is Everything: A stiff, uncomfortable pose screams, “I hate being here.” You want confidence, approachability, and authenticity.
Wardrobe Mistakes: That wrinkled shirt, loud pattern, or outdated blazer isn’t doing you any favors. Your clothing should complement your brand, not distract from it.
Background Blunders: Your messy office, a random café, or a distracting cityscape doesn’t set the right tone. A clean, professional background keeps the focus on you.
Expression is Key: The difference between a winning headshot and an awkward one is subtle but powerful. Forced smiles, blank stares, or an “I don’t want to be here” look won’t cut it.

Milwaukee, We Need to Talk

If you’re in Milwaukee, I can almost guarantee you’ve seen some rough headshots out there. I see them every day—on LinkedIn, on business websites, even on real estate signs. And Milwaukee, we deserve better. We’re a city full of professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs, and hardworking people. But too many of us are walking around with headshots that don’t represent how great we actually are.

And that’s where I come in. As a Milwaukee photographer specializing in headshots and portraits, I’ve made it my mission to upgrade the way this city looks online. Whether you’re an executive, a startup founder, a lawyer, or an artist, you need a headshot that does more than just put your face on display—you need one that tells your story, builds your brand, and helps you stand out in a sea of competition.

How I Make It Better

I don’t just take headshots—I craft them. My goal is to make you look like the best, most confident version of yourself. Here’s how: I don’t just take headshots—I craft them. My goal is to make you look like the best, most confident version of yourself. Here’s how:

Your Headshot is Your Brand

Think about this: if you’re a business owner in Milwaukee, people are Googling you before they ever meet you. Your headshot is their first introduction. If your photo screams “I don’t care,” why should they?

And if you’re job hunting, an outdated, poorly lit, or unprofessional headshot could be the thing holding you back. Hiring managers want to see confidence. They want to see someone who looks like they belong in the role. A strong headshot won’t get you the job, but it sure won’t hurt.

I’ve worked with CEOs, actors, realtors, creatives, and professionals of all kinds in Milwaukee. And every single time, I hear the same thing: “I had no idea a headshot could make such a difference.” But it does. It changes how people see you—and more importantly, how you see yourself.

It’s Time for an Upgrade

Milwaukee, let’s step up our game. You’re a professional—your headshot should reflect that. If you’re still rocking an outdated, low-quality photo, it’s time to level up.

Let’s get you a headshot that actually does justice to your brand and personality. Let’s make sure when someone looks you up, they see you as the badass, confident, talented person you are.

Lets make this happen. As a Milwaukee portrait photographer, my job isn’t just to take pictures—it’s to make you look your absolute best. And trust me, I can do it.
