Headshots should actually look like you

Headlock Studios is a Nashville-area headshot and portrait studio built around a pretty simple idea — great photography doesn't have to feel uncomfortable.

I photograph individuals, executives and corporate teams in the studio and on location throughout Nashville and Middle Tennessee.

Whether you need one great headshot or a consistent look for an entire company, the goal is the same: make you comfortable, make you look like yourself, and give you a photograph you're actually excited to use.

You should look like you — on a really good day.

Environmental Portraits

A face can tell a pretty interesting story on its own. But sometimes where you are and what surrounds you tells just as much.

The places we work, the things we create and the environments we spend our time in become part of who we are.

From CEOs to artists, athletes to hobbyists, everybody has a space where they feel most like themselves.

It's your world. I just photograph you in it.

“The camera makes you forget you’re there. It’s not like you are hiding but you forget, you are just looking so much.”
