Have A Question?
Looking for a first-time, or updated headshot? Do you need one, or more than one headshot?
Whether you are just getting started, and need something for LinkedIn or other social media, or you are an actor and need 5-6 headshots for various roles for which you want to be cast, we can work together to get what you need. In every situation, we work together on your project, from planning the look you want, to nailing the expression.
A great headshot is critical to make that all-important first impression count and create the best possible impact.
To make that happen, I retouch all final images, to the degree you need and want. Retouching means helping you look well-rested and YOU. The extent of retouching wholly depends on the purpose of the headshot, and your taste.
Obviously, if you have your photographer remove all lines, skin texture, and take 20 years off of you, not only will your headshot look plastic and fake, but when people meet you they will NOT recognize you.
No matter how awesome you looked when you were 20, that look is not naturally maintainable, and you are better served looking like the best YOU, NOW, that you can be. Still, there is a lot I can do to help. Simple natural hair and natural looking makeup, well-fitting clothes, showing confidence and warmth in your expression and body language, great lighting to “fill-in” lines and wrinkles are all ways I can help. I want your eyes to sparkle and your personality to shine. There are many ways to create a great headshot, and I’m here to help!

Thank you for taking our company photo..(t)he shot is creative and a clever blend of church work with our team informally scattered throughout the sanctuary, love it! All of the staff headshots turned out beatifully. Your work adds professionalism to Aspen's website! Thank you for all you've contributed to our company. You do great work!
We used Forsythe Photo for our staff headshots and we’re thrilled with her work! Karen was able to capture each person’s personality, while giving us a style suitable to and consistent with our brand. The quality of her photography is outstanding and she’s very pleasant to work with prior to and during the photoshoots! We LOVE the headshots. We have gotten so many great comments (internally and externally) about them. They’ve definitely upped the classiness of our website!
Karen, you've done some absolutely amazing photos here. It was a tremendous pleasure to work with you and I'll recommend you to my friends looking for a headshot photographer without hesitation -- thanks again!
I hate being in front of the camera, but she immediately put me at ease and took some amazing shots that I really love. (High praise from someone who, up until meeting Karen, had not liked a single photo that was taken of her!) Great work, fabulous follow through, etc
