HEADSHOTS & PORTRAITS

Whether it’s for LinkedIn, your company website or a speaker bio, your headshot is often the first introduction you make.

I photograph professionals and teams in Chapel Hill and across the Triangle: individual sessions are $495, personal branding starts at $495, and on-site team headshots start at $650.

I spent more than 15 years in executive search, placing senior executives at companies like Cisco, GE, IBM, Microsoft and others, so I know what a professional image needs to do.

I also know being in front of the camera can feel intimidating. I guide posing and expression throughout, so you’re never left alone trying to remember what a natural face looks like. No stiff poses, just natural, polished images that look like you on a good day.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

— Rita S., Web Designer

"Never thought doing a photoshoot for business headshots could be so much fun! Thank you Nina for the amazing photos and for making the whole process so much fun and effortless! We’ll be doing a family photoshoot with you soon!!"

— Jennifer O., Senior Partner

"If I could give Nina more than 5 stars I would! Extremely talented photographer that is willing to go above and beyond to make your photos amazing. She came out before our photo shoot to explore the surroundings to make sure we had proper lighting and space. She had super fun ideas and was such a pleasure to work with. We were so impressed with her professionalism but how down to earth she was. Will hire her again and again. She was able to capture some pretty amazing photos with very unphotogenic people. She captured true personalities as well."

— David C., Faculty Services

"We’ve used Nina’s photography services twice for our program’s yearly retreat and she is incredible! Great photographs, great photographer, great attitude. Highly recommend her services if you’re in need of any type of photography, from professional headshots to candid “working” pictures of any kind of event."
