PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS · PASADENA & SAN MARINO
You work hard to get where you are. Your photo should show it.
Whether you're updating your LinkedIn, launching a business, or stepping into a new role, your headshot is often the first thing people see. It should feel like you — confident, approachable, and professional.
At Shinkfield Studio in San Marino, I make headshot sessions easy and stress-free. I guide you through every expression, every angle, and every detail so you walk away with photos you're proud to put everywhere. No awkward posing, no stiff corporate look. Just you, at your best.
Our studio headshot sessions include wardrobe guidance, professional lighting, and retouching. Most clients are in and out in under an hour with photos ready to use across LinkedIn, company websites, and marketing materials.
The result? A headshot that actually looks like you — and makes you feel great.
Natural & Polished
Your session starts with a short conversation about how you want to be seen. Together, we’ll decide on the style—casual or formal—and the overall vibe—confident, approachable, or playful.
Many clients say the experience feels relaxed and easy, more like chatting while the camera captures natural moments. By the end, you’ll have polished images that truly reflect your personality and professionalism.
Confidence Made Simple

Posing for photos like this is not exactly "natural" for me. But she did a great job quickly putting me at ease. And the end result produced some really fantastic photos. Excited to share these with the world, and already working to schedule another session so that we can get some family portraits done as well. Highly recommend!

My law firm - Alley Law - recently redid everyone's headshots with Sandra, and we all LOVE the photos! Sandra is not just a photographer but also an artist! Her work is truly a work of art! She is extremely efficient. We received our edited images in less than a week. No photographer would do that for 10 people with that kind of turnaround time. Highly recommend her!
