Professional portraits that open doors and make first impressions last
Headshots & Personal Branding
The Experience
Look Like Yourself,
On Your Best Day.
A calm, guided session for professionals who want to look polished without feeling stiff.
Your headshot is often the first impression people get before they meet you. It should feel like you-polished, approachable, and confident.
Most people I work with say the same thing at the start. They are nervous, unsure how to pose, and worried their photos will feel forced. That is where I step in. I guide you through the full session so you never feel left wondering what to do.
The result is a collection of natural, refined portraits you will feel proud to use on LinkedIn, social media, your website, press features, or your next launch.
You do not need to be photogenic. You do not need modeling experience. You only need to show up. I will guide the rest.
Best for: Founders, professionals, creatives, and teams who want headshots that feel polished, natural, and true to who they are.
Walk in nervous. Walk out feeling like your most confident self.

“In the past I've never had images I absolutely loved. They were fine, but nothing special. When people began to see my headshots from this session, everyone said they were amazing and wanted to know who did them. I absolutely love these images, and I can't recommend Arnel Gonce Photography enough.”

How It Works
From Nerves to
Natural Photos
No stiff poses, no guesswork, no pressure. From planning to final gallery, every part of the session is guided so you feel relaxed, prepared, and confident.
Guided from start to finish
Consultation
We talk through your goals, wardrobe, locations, colour palettes, and the message you want to convey so you arrive feeling prepared, clear, and at ease.
Your Session
Settle into the makeup chair (and yes, guys get makeup options too, if they want) and get pampered while our expert artist curates a look you are comfortable with, along with hair styling. Then we put on great music and head to the camera, where I lead you through posing, lighting, and direction so nothing feels forced or awkward.
Reveal & Select
The same day, we sit down and go through all your images together, unretouched and real. This is where the magic is, because you see it is not the retouching that makes you shine. Once you choose your favourites, we discuss the level of retouching you would like.

What Clients Are Saying
Real experiences from real people. Nothing means more than knowing my clients leave feeling their best.

Headshots & Personal Branding
I had put off new headshots for years. The old one was awful and I hate being on camera. Arnel made it surprisingly easy. She told me where to look, what to do with my hands, when to laugh. The photos look like me, not like a stock image. Worth every dollar.
