Here’s what sets me apart:
Personalized Experience: Every session starts with a consultation to tailor the experience to your goals.

Professional Results: From crisp lighting to expert editing, I ensure your headshots look polished and professional.
Clients often share their excitement about how comfortable and confident they feel during their sessions. Here’s what one client had to say:
“I recently had actor headshots and photos done with 5200 and I had the most invigorating session with Katrina. I tend to feel inauthentic during headshot sessions. My goal was to have these shots reflect exactly who I am and how I actually look and feel. Katrina is a very special human being: full of acceptance, compassion, and curiosity. Her enthusiasm about you helps create an environment where you feel absolutely like yourself. I felt confident and beautiful. Thank you Katrina!”
