Description

Connecticut's leading headshot photographer, Cara Paiuk of Face Forward Headshots, has opened her second studio in Connecticut, in downtown Greenwich. The newly designed studio, located at 36 West Putnam Avenue in Greenwich, is now open by appointment and joins Paiuk's studio in West Hartford as the go-to locations for professional headshots in the region. Paiuk is Connecticut's first headshot photography specialist with over 120 five-star reviews. Her photographs have appeared on websites and in newspapers, on walls and business cards, on brochures and book shelves - even featured on a book jacket. Her sole professional focus is on headshots – lights are specific for headshots, studio is designed for headshots, and state-of-the-art camera lenses are optimized for headshots. "I sincerely believe that everyone deserves to have a picture of themselves that they can feel good about, and that's why I'm dedicated full-time to headshot photography," Paiuk explains. Paiuk studied with world-renowned headshot photographer Peter Hurley and is an associate photographer of the Peter Hurley Headshot Crew - the first to earn that distinction in Connecticut. She has taken remarkable photographs across four continents through the decades, yet "one thing always stays the same," she says, "my love of taking photos of people and their faces. Headshots are about being authentic and showing your best self. Everyone's face tells a story." Professional headshots by Face Forward Headshots can be used for LinkedIn, personal branding, corporate identity, webpages, online directories, business cards, email signatures, marketing materials, bios, resumes, and more. Corporate headshots aren't just for the employees of large companies. They're also for doctor's offices, law firms, real estate agencies, non-profits, and any organization with a staff that cares about its image. As for individuals managing a personal brand – from entrepreneurs to actors, entertainers and models – a great headshot is the way to make a positive first impression and open doors. "I'm thrilled to be in Greenwich," Paiuk said. "I look forward to working with people locally and across the region to provide headshots that reflect the essence of who they are and accentuate their achievements." Face Forward Headshots is also available for corporate shoots when headshots are needed for internal directories, customer-facing websites, and social media. Volume discounts are available, and pop-up studios can be arranged. Individual headshot photography sessions with Paiuk have no time limits, "because I want to give you all the time you need for outfit changes and different poses." A good headshot, Paiuk explains, "captures the glint in your eyes and the shape of your smile. It conveys your personality and what makes you special. If you want to stand out from the crowd, a professional headshot is the best place to begin." How did it all begin for her? "Once I started having kids, I began taking a lot of pictures," Paiuk explains. "Friends started asking if I would take photos of their kids too, so I did. But one day, someone asked me if I could do their headshot and I found my true calling."
