Meet Kaylee from KK Beauty — the award-winning hair and makeup artist (HMUA) who helps bring the GSKdesign 5-Star Luxury experience to life in the Magic Valley.

When we host our Contemporary Headshot Events, Kaylee isn’t just a part of the team; she is a crucial component of the process. You may wonder, “Why do you use a hair and makeup artist for the women?” The answer is simple: Kaylee elevates everything. She creates a completely stress-free start to your session so you don’t have to rush in from your day to get ready.

Kaylee knows precisely how to style your hair and makeup so it photographs beautifully under professional strobe lighting. She enhances your features, ensures even skin tones, and maintains a polished look without making you appear overdone.

Most importantly, she helps you relax, enjoy the experience, and feel like a million bucks before you step in front of the camera. With Kaylee’s talent and calming presence, paired with GSKdesign’s signature 5-Star luxury style, you don’t just receive a headshot; you gain confidence, connection, and a portrait that feels authentic, powerful, and truly you!

Is it time to update that headshot or maybe you're needing a fresh start to a new career?

Why a Professional Headshot Isn’t Optional Anymore

In today’s fast-moving business world, your image speaks long before you do. A polished, contemporary headshot isn’t a luxury—it’s part of your professional toolkit.

At GSKdesign, we create headshots that do more than look good. They elevate your presence, set you apart from the noise, and help you show up with confidence and clarity—whether you’re updating your LinkedIn, refreshing your company website, or leveling up your personal brand.

Your clients, colleagues, and future opportunities want to connect with the real you. A thoughtfully crafted portrait communicates professionalism, credibility, and personality in a single glance. When done right, it becomes a powerful asset that supports your goals and opens doors.

Investing in a professional headshot is ultimately an investment in yourself—and the right image can move your career and business forward faster than you think.

AI can generate a photo.
Human expertise can draw out a moment and a personality.

At GSKdesign, that difference matters.

A camera—AI or not—can only capture what’s in front of it. But a human who understands expression, confidence, posture, and presence? A human who knows how to connect, coach, and pull out the real you?
That’s where the magic happens.

Your brand deserves more than an auto-generated image. It deserves intentional lighting, expert direction, authentic emotion, and a photographer who knows how to translate personality into a powerful visual identity.

That’s the work we do every day.

If you want a headshot that feels unmistakably you, not artificially constructed… you know where to find us.

Does the person in a contemporary headshot or portrait need to be smiling?
What do you think?

At GSKdesign, we get this question all the time. Some professionals feel most confident with a full smile, others feel strongest with a relaxed, intentional expression. The truth? There’s no single “correct” answer — just the expression that best represents you, your brand, and the message you want to send into the world.

So… should you smile? Or keep it composed, confident, and powerful?

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Now, off to the retoucher. ;-)

Photographers hear this all the time:

👉 “We’ll get photos done later… once the website’s finished.”
👉 “We’ll schedule headshots later… when things slow down.”
👉 “We’ll update the team page… after the rebrand.”

But here’s the thing — that’s actually backwards.

Your visuals aren’t the finishing touch — they’re the foundation.

Trying to build a brand before creating imagery is like decorating a house before the walls are even up.

When you wait on photography, everything else gets built in reverse:
→ Colors are chosen without seeing how they look on your people
→ Tone of voice is set without showing how you actually show up
→ Layouts are designed without knowing what will fill them

Then suddenly, someone says…

“It just doesn’t feel like us.”

And they’re right. Because your visuals are your identity.

Do the photography early.

Build everything else around it — confidently, intentionally, and authentically.

Recently, I photographed a new client who was referred by Nicole Gaiola. What an incredible session it was.

Crafting the right professional image is more than taking a great photo — it’s about capturing confidence, credibility, and approachability all in one frame.

For attorneys, that balance is everything. Your headshot should project authority while remaining genuine and approachable. At GSKdesign, we specialize in contemporary headshots that align perfectly with your profession and personal brand.

Because in your line of work, your image should speak before you do.

What a day! 🙌
Our Modern Headshot Event was absolutely incredible.

One of our favorite parts of what we do is getting to really know the people who step in front of our camera. Every session is a chance to connect — and more often than not, new acquaintances turn into new friends.

At GSKdesign, we don’t rush the process. It’s not just about snapping a picture — it’s about capturing who you are at your most confident and authentic. We create a world-class experience that feels personal, empowering, and unforgettable.

Because when you see yourself the way we see you… Everything changes.
