Headshots in Bermuda Dunes. A whole team in 1 afternoon, retouched fast.
A lot of the headshot work here is for people who run something rather than people who work somewhere: agents, brokers, consultants, practitioners with a small office or none at all.
That usually means one person who needs one photograph to do several jobs, which is a different brief from a team set. It has to work as a small circle on a website, as a byline, and sometimes printed on a sign, and those three crops do not forgive the same framing.
Recent headshot photography
Work from across the Coachella Valley. Travel is the same everywhere in the valley, so this is the same coverage you would get in Bermuda Dunes.

The Bermuda Dunes problem: one photograph, four shapes
A single portrait that has to survive a circular avatar, a wide website banner, a print bio and a listing sign is a cropping problem before it is a lighting problem. I shoot it loose enough that all four crops exist inside the same frame, and deliver them cropped rather than leaving you to guess where the square goes.
How a headshot session runs
Plan the look
Background, wardrobe, and where the images are going: web, print, or both.
Guided session
I bring the lighting to you and coach expression, so nobody is left guessing.
Retouched files
Natural retouching, cropped for LinkedIn, site bios and print.
What a headshot session costs
Quoted per session, based on how many people and where. Extra retouched selects are $65 each.
Questions
Common questions
Do you come to the house, or does it have to be an office?
Either. I bring the lighting and the backdrop, so a spare room, a garage with the door open or a clubhouse meeting room all work. What I need is about eight feet of clear floor.
How much do headshots cost in Bermuda Dunes?
From $285 for one person, with duo and team rates for more. Extra retouched selects are $65 each, and there is no travel charge anywhere in the valley.
I need it for a listing sign as well as a website. Is that a problem?
No, but tell me beforehand. A sign crop is usually tighter and sometimes a different shape, and knowing that on the day means I frame for it rather than cropping into pixels afterwards.
How much retouching do you do?
Enough that you look like you on a good day and no further. Stray hairs, a temporary blemish, shine. I do not reshape faces or smooth skin until it stops reading as skin, because the person who meets you afterwards should recognise the photograph.
Do you charge travel to Bermuda Dunes?
No. There is no travel fee anywhere from Desert Hot Springs to Indio, and Bermuda Dunes is inside that. You pay the same rate as anyone else in the valley.
How far ahead should I book?
A week is usually plenty for one person. A team takes a little more planning, mostly to find an hour when everybody is actually in the building, so give those a couple of weeks.
