Professional Headshots & Portraits
Studio-based sessions in Reno, with on-location options for teams and lifestyle work.
I offer professional headshots and individual portraits for people who want clean, natural images in a calm, controlled setting. Most sessions are photographed in my south Reno studio, with on-location options available for office headshots and lifestyle sessions when appropriate.
Not sure whether you need a headshot or a portrait? There’s a quick explanation here. If you already know what you’re looking for, you can check availability.
I work with clients throughout Reno, Lake Tahoe, Truckee, and Carson City.
How Sessions Work
Most headshots and individual portraits are photographed in my south Reno studio, which provides consistent lighting, privacy, and a distraction-free environment.
For businesses that need team headshots, I can also photograph on location at offices using a compact lighting setup. Lifestyle sessions are photographed on location by design, based on the activity or environment being documented.
I’ll help with wardrobe guidance and simple preparation, so your planning is simple and straightforward.
Daniel V - Agency Portraits
“Highly skilled and professional! Not only we got a lot done in an hour, John went over the hour to make sure I got what I wanted. He is also highly attentive during and after the process. Communication with him is easy and comfortable. Overall, the best experience I have ever had with a photographer. Thank you.”
Olena N - Modeling Experience
“I’ve worked with John twice already, and both times were absolutely amazing experiences. He has a fantastic eye and pays attention to even the smallest details — things I wouldn’t have even noticed myself!
I highly recommend John to anyone who wants to feel like a real model. And let’s be honest — black and white photography is timeless. It’s pure, classic beauty.”
Marjorie F - Lifestyle Event
“Hire this guy! John came all the way down to NAS Fallon to capture some special moments for my husband’s FINI flight. We wanted to commemorate this special end of an era with his best squad mates and John was the right choice. The price was right and he worked quickly to process our photos just how we needed them.”

Background & Approach
I’m a documentary photographer with over a decade of experience working with nonprofits and organizations worldwide. That perspective carries into my portrait work, where the goal is to create images that feel natural and not over-processed.
I’m based in Northern Nevada, where I also teach photography and continue to work on long-term documentary projects.
