Headshots in Dublin, OH with Claudine Kosier

Most people think confidence in photos looks like a perfect smile, a sharp outfit, or knowing exactly how to pose.

It doesn’t.

Confidence shows up when you stop overthinking. When you feel comfortable enough to relax. When you look at a photo and think, yes, that actually feels like me.

That’s the difference between headshots that are fine and headshots you’re genuinely excited to use.

Almost every client who walks into my studio in Dublin says some version of the same thing.

“I’m awkward in photos.”
“I never know what to do.”
“I just want to look like myself.”

Honestly? That's perfect.

Because that tells me we’re about to do this the right way.

My job is not to turn you into someone else. It’s to guide you into images that feel confident, natural, and unmistakably you, without making it weird or stressful.

Confidence in Headshots Is Not a Personality Trait

You do not need to be outgoing, polished, or comfortable in front of a camera to look confident in your headshots.

Some of my favorite sessions are with introverts, business owners who swear they hate being photographed, and people who walk in a little nervous and leave surprised at how easy it felt.

Confidence shows up when someone knows exactly what they’re doing and makes it easy for you to follow along. Clear direction. Simple adjustments. No guessing what to do next.

That’s when everything clicks.

What a Branding Session Actually Feels Like

I don’t expect you to show up knowing how to pose or what to do with your hands. That’s my job.

My studio is calm, modern, and intentionally designed to help you relax the second you walk in. Before we ever pick up a camera, we talk. About your work. Your brand. How you want to feel when people see your photos.

During the session, I guide you clearly and confidently. We move through clean, confident posed shots, natural candid moments, and everything in between. You’ll never be left guessing, and you’ll never be forced into something that doesn’t feel like you.

At some point, you’ll see an image and say, “Wait… that’s actually me.”
That’s always my favorite part.

Why Branding Headshots Matter More Than You Think

Your headshots and branding images show up everywhere. Your website. LinkedIn. Social media. Speaking pages. Email signatures.

They introduce you before you ever get the chance to.

When your photos feel confident and real, people trust you faster. When they feel like you, your audience connects instantly.

And for a lot of people, this is the first time they slow down enough to really see themselves in the season they’re in right now. That’s meaningful, even if they don’t expect it to be.

Planning Your Headshots in Dublin, OH

If you’re stepping into a new season of your business, launching something new, or just tired of photos that no longer feel like you, it might be time for an update.

I work with professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs, and business owners throughout Dublin, Columbus, Powell, and Central Ohio who want headshots that feel confident, modern, and still very human. I intentionally limit the number of sessions I take so every client gets the time, direction, and attention they deserve.

This should feel easy.
And kind of fun.
