HEADSHOTs
If you want to be taken seriously, you need to take your headshots seriously.
Your headshot is your digital business card- it is seen everywhere from your company website to your LinkedIn profile. It appears on your Zoom display, social media accounts, speaking engagements, and more. People you've never met will know you by your headshot. So it stands to reason that if you want to be taken seriously, you need to take your headshot seriously. I've worked with professionals in a wide variety of fields for nearly 15 years and developed a process that is solid enough to deliver consistent results while being flexible enough to allow me to tailor our approach to your profession and needs. We take care of the details so you don't have to, including hair & makeup styling, a consultation, your guided photoshoot, and more.

"Karissa is an amazing photographer. She took headshot photographs of our entire team and they were beautiful. She is great to work with, takes her time to make everyone feel comfortable, is flexible and accommodating and an overall joy. One thing I love is her ability to capture amazing shots of a variety of types of people. It was important for us to have a photographer that was good with diversity as we have multiple ethnicities and genders in our company- and she did an excellent job. We are already planning for additional sessions with Karissa!"

Hello! My name is Karissa Van Tassel and I am an accredited photographer based in New Haven, Connecticut. I am passionate about the power of a photograph to connect us to each other, to our memories, and even to our own reflections.
My team and I create timeless photographs for our clients, but it is so much more than that. I've spent the last decade developing an experience for you that is both fun and memorable. I've created partnerships that give us access to unbelievably beautiful products so your photographs aren't just beautiful, they are truly works of art. In short, my team and I take great care with every detail of your photoshoot- from the makeup we use (do you have any allergies?) to the backdrops and wardrobe we purchase and even the final products you take home.
When I'm not at the studio I love to travel, capturing new photographs for my fine art series. My work can be found in private collections around the world, and has been featured in The New York Times, CNN, National Geographic, Forbes, MSN, and Connecticut Cottages & Gardens. I am a fellow at Yale University's Morse College and live in New Haven with my husband, Dr. Paul Van Tassel, and our three kids.
