Executive headshots, but make it fashion | Editorial photography in Columbus, Ohio

Branding and Headshots

This project started as a simple executive headshot, but quickly evolved into a multiple spread editorial piece, ultimately being selected as the cover story for the magazine’s fashion issue.  

Meet Jacquie. Smart, fierce, passionate, driven, and fun!

As a longtime client of over a decade, I have always loved her energy and was thrilled (and honored) when she reached out to me for this unique shoot.

She is responsible for the uber-stylish offerings at one of America’s top fashion brands and has proven herself an overall industry leader. With a discerning eye for fashion and a knack for translating trends into wearable pieces, she has made it her mission to not only ensure that every customer feels confident in their clothing,

but also help empower and uplift women and young girls along the way.

The immediate need was a fresh headshot to accompany a professional award, so we met up at her office and immediately got down to business.

The light and shadows were hard to resist, so we got creative and captured some images that went beyond the typical headshot but still felt elevated and professional.

One of my favorite shots – the Vogue magazine was just sitting there and seemed too perfect not to include.
