- Robin Clossman2 hours agoSarah and her team are friendly, fun, and made me feel comfortable and valued. The experience was wonderful! I participated in the Hope Valley fundraiser - I needed new headshots and it seemed like a great opportunity support a worthy cause. During the shoot though I could see the pictures as Sarah was taking them and I began to change my perspective on the photo shoot from simply getting a few photos I needed to becoming an experience that empowered me and allowed me step into someone I’d been working on becoming for 3 years. The previous 3 years had been the most difficult in my life and I’ve worked hard to become stronger and wiser as I healed from them. The pictures Sarah gave me allowed me to see that I was ready to step into this new life I’ve been creating! Thank you, Sarah, and your team, for this gift of being able to see the me I’ve been working so hard to become!READ MORE
- Ally Cardenas3 days agoSarah was amazing with my 7yo and doing his headshots. She captured a photo for every emotion, perfect for his auditions. We would love to come back to Sarah in the future. We are so excited to have our pictures.READ MORE
- Gracie Macka week agoThis was my first time meeting Sarah and she made it feel like we already knew each other. Her energy throughout the process was amazing and my pictures turned out better than I could’ve imagined. She was very responsive from the beginning and helped edit my insecurities. I left our session feeling very confident. I highly recommend her for any professional photos!!READ MORE

- Carla2 weeks agoSarah and her team were incredible! They have made me feel welcomed, beautiful and comfortable during the entire session. Sarah is so talented and so easy to work with! Great coaching, amazing environment, attentive and caring. All photos turned out great!!READ MORE
- Kristen Easterdaya month agoThe difference between great pictures and those that take your breath away is often how well the photographer understands light and is able to capture your loved ones' emotion combined with the perfect light and angle. It is an art and a skill that is truly rare and takes years of experience to master. Sarah is a master at this art and, after a short session, provided approximately 100 photos each with so much emotion, warmth, balance, and depth. Each of the photos presented was exceptional from an artistic and personal perspective. The most difficult part was selecting the pictures to purchase because they were all amazing. She used all natural light, and the raw images were truly breathtaking. She is patient and kind. It was a fantastic experience, and the pictures we selected will be treasured.READ MORE
- Daniel Morina month agoSarah did an amazing job doing photos for my daughter. She was calm, sweet and very informative, so my daughter was relaxed through the entire process. Sarah also responded right away and we got our photos back so quick! My daughter now wants to be a model after working with SarahREAD MORE
- Jen Hilamana month agoDesired Focus Photography-Sarah Sarah Henderson photographer. She took my vision for these photos and made them a reality. Such a creative genius. I highly recommend her! She was patient, funny, brave- traversing slippery rocks across the creek and back again to get the perfect shot. You should have seen her waving a red flag with one hand to get Greta’s ears up, all the while taking breathtaking photos with the other hand. The images are so good. And Miss Greta was a rockstar! What a fun and rewarding experience. I am like many women my age-that miss what age has stolen from us. I never like pictures of myself. It’s been many years since I have felt truly attractive. These photos made me ugly cry when Sarah let me view them in her studio following the session. I didn’t have to wait-she text them to me along with the link to download that night. So professional. If you’ve ever thought about having professional pictures done-do it! You are not promised tomorrow. You will never regret having these beautiful memories!READ MORE

Why a Headshot That Matches Your Branding Matters
A professional headshot that aligns with your brand identity is crucial for entrepreneurs, publishers, and anyone building a personal brand. It serves as a visual representation of your professionalism, confidence, and approachability, conveying your personal brand effectively. 
Moreover, headshots are more than just photos; they are storytelling tools. They can evoke emotions and tell your story before a single word is spoken, helping to establish a psychological connection with your audience.
The Role of Personality in Headshots
A well-crafted headshot can showcase your personality in a light that is both professional and inviting. By incorporating elements like wardrobe choices, expressions, and settings that reflect your brand, you can create images that resonate with your target audience. This approach not only differentiates you from competitors but also fosters trust and relatability.
Having a headshot that matches your branding is essential. It not only presents you professionally but also tells your unique story, making you more relatable and trustworthy to your audience.
