Headshot photography might not be something you’ve thought about for yourself. Maybe it feels too formal or like something meant for someone else’s life. Not the one you’re living in the middle of school drop-off, meetings, and late-night to-do lists. But the truth is, it is for you. And not someday. Right now.
You’re the one holding everything together. The schedules, the snacks, the big work projects. You show up every day for everyone else. But when was the last time you stepped in front of the camera, just for you? This is your moment to be seen. Not in a polished or posed way, but in a real, modern, honest way.
Hello, I’m Megan, a Minneapolis-based photographer offering headshot photography that feels real, modern, and totally you. No stiff poses, no awkward vibes. Just easy, relaxed sessions made for busy women who want to show up with confidence. Take a look below, or reach out when you’re ready for a headshot that actually feels like you.
Let’s Talk About the Woman Behind the Lens
You spend so much time capturing everyone else. The family vacations, the school plays, the everyday moments that pass too quickly. You’re the one holding the phone, making sure the memories are saved. You make sure everyone else is in the frame.
But if your kids opened your photo library right now, how often would they see you? Not just in the background or in a quick selfie, but really see you.
That’s where headshot photography comes in. Not the stiff, posed kind that feels outdated. I’m talking about natural, modern images that feel true to who you are. The woman who juggles work meetings and snack duty. Who leads with heart, cheers from the sidelines, packs lunches in the dark, and somehow keeps it all moving forward.
These photos aren’t about perfection. They’re about presence. About showing up in the story you’ve been telling all along.
So… What Is a Headshot Mini?
A headshot photography mini session is a simple, easy way to get modern, high-quality headshot photos without taking up your whole day. These are quick, relaxed, and designed to help you feel like yourself in front of the camera.
Headshot minis are $375 and include:
-
A 20-minute session
-
5 high-resolution digital images (hand-edited and ready to use)
-
A relaxed, stress-free experience that feels natural and easy
There’s no need to know how to pose. Picking an outfit doesn’t have to be a big deal; I can help with that. And if you don’t feel totally ready, that’s okay. Just come as you are. We’ll create photos that feel like you, real, confident, and natural. You’ll walk away with images you actually like. Maybe even love.
Why Headshot Photography Matters (More Than You Think)
Maybe you’re building a business, switching careers, or just ready to replace that old, cropped photo from years ago. Whatever the reason, modern headshot photography helps you show up with confidence and feel good about how you’re seen.
This goes beyond LinkedIn or websites. It’s about looking at yourself with a little more kindness. It’s about having a photo that reflects your strength, your spirit, and the way you move through the world. And maybe most important of all, it’s about giving your family a photo of you. The real you. The strong, joyful, exhausted, beautiful woman who keeps everything running.
Who Are These For? (Hint: You)
You don’t need to be a CEO to need a great headshot. These sessions are for:
-
Moms growing a business (or dreaming one up)
-
Women re-entering the workforce
-
Teachers, therapists, designers, and small biz owners
-
PTA presidents and classroom volunteers
-
Anyone who’s tired of not having a photo they actually like
If you’re putting yourself out into the world, online, in your work, or even just in your personal circle, you deserve a photo that feels like you. That tells your story and makes you feel seen.

What to Expect (AKA, I Make It Painless)
I know the idea of getting in front of a camera can be nerve-wracking. But headshot photography doesn’t have to feel high-pressure or high-stress. My sessions are quick, easy, and actually kind of fun.
Here’s what you can expect:
-
Before your session, I’ll send you a quick guide to help you choose what to wear. Think simple, comfortable, and true to your style.
-
When you arrive, we’ll chat for a minute. I’ll walk you through everything, no guesswork, no awkward posing.
-
During your 20-minute session, we’ll move through a few simple setups. Natural light, relaxed vibe, nothing forced.
-
Afterward, you’ll get a gallery to choose your favorite 5 images (and yes, you can always add more if you want).
It’s fast, it’s friendly, and it’s made for busy moms like you.
What To Do With These Photos
Once you have your new headshots, the fun really begins. Headshot photography gives you images that are versatile, timeless, and meant to be used in ways that feel both personal and professional.
You can update your LinkedIn, refresh your website or portfolio, and swap out that old photo on your social media profiles. These photos also work beautifully for speaking engagements, conference bios, or articles. You might even want to add one to your email signature or business card.
Print one for your desk, or give one to your mom, because you know she’ll love having a photo of you that feels real and joyful. And maybe most important of all, keep one just for yourself. A quiet reminder that you’re worth being seen, not just when life feels pulled together, but in the middle of it all. Just as you are.
