Hi, I'm Chris!
San Diego Personal Branding Photographer, Husband, and Loving Dad.
Welcome to my website. Please take a look around and get to know me a bit!
 
I want to be YOUR personal branding and headshot photographer here in San Diego, CA.
I've photographed everything from sports, portraiture, landscapes, food, couples, families, seniors, weddings, for online magazines and more! So why personal branding and headshots now??
LET ME TELL YOU!
- As a business owner myself, I understand the challenges of standing out in a crowded market. This is why I'm passionate about helping fellow entrepreneurs succeed in their marketing efforts through Personal Branding photography. Unlike selfies and cell phone pictures, professional photography gives my clients a competitive edge.
- One of the most rewarding moments for me is seeing my clients' faces light up when they view their photos. It's not just about the images; it's about overcoming their fears of looking awkward or posed.
- Building a connection with my clients is essential. I dive deep into their business history, goals, and future aspirations to create photography that truly reflects their brand. This process involves thorough planning and understanding, all of which happen before we even press the shutter button.
- While traditional sessions like couples, families, and engagements are often constrained by time, personal branding and headshot photography require a different approach. For me, it's about capturing the perfect shots that will elevate my clients' business and marketing efforts, without being limited by the clock.
- These are just a few reasons why I love personal branding and headshot photography. It’s a field that combines artistry, strategy, and a deep commitment to helping others shine.



People often use the phrase

 
So, what’s my why? It perfectly aligns with my transition from family and couple’s portraits to being a dedicated personal branding and headshot photographer. I recognized a real need in our San Diego business community for high-quality, purpose-driven images that help inspired entrepreneurs, businesses, and brands stand out.
My tagline, “Portraits with Purpose,” stems directly from this vision.
I've seen so many brands using images that don’t match their vision or goals. For example, profile pictures often come from group shots at parties or events, or they’re just selfies. While these options are convenient and free, they simply can’t compete with the quality, professionalism, and impact of a professional headshot or a series of personal branding images.
On the other hand, professionally shot images convey credibility and confidence. They show that you take yourself and your career seriously, which is crucial for LinkedIn profiles, corporate websites, and any professional networking platforms where first impressions matter. A selfie, no matter how good, often comes across as casual and unprofessional, undermining your professional image.
Professional personal branding or headshots are tailored to your unique brand. We’ll work together to choose the right backgrounds, locations, outfits, and expressions that align with your professional persona. This customized approach ensures your headshot reflects your individuality and professional identity, something selfies often lack.
First impressions are everything. In a competitive job market or business environment, high-quality professional headshots or personal branding images can make you more memorable and leave a lasting positive impression on potential employers, clients, or partners. It shows that you invest in yourself and are ready to present your best.
And this is my WHY. Using my photographic skills to help businesses and entrepreneurs present themselves authentically and professionally, putting their best foot forward.
 


Headshots are an integral component of any personal branding session or marketing effort.
