Lights. Camera. Action. | Your First Impression Intensive
- 45m
🎬 Lights. Camera. Action.
Your First Impression Intensive
You only get one first impression — and on camera, it happens in seconds.
In this private, live session, I personally coach you through everything that turns a viewer from clicking away into leaning in. And you don't just leave knowing how, you leave with the proof: a polished First Impression welcome video for your business.
With 35+ years helping people show up powerfully on screen, and as the creator of the Headshot Strategist and Brand Embodiment method, I know exactly what makes a first impression land.
Here's how our time together works:
💡 Lights — We get your setup right.
Lighting, framing, background — so you look like you belong on screen.
🎥 Camera — We get you right.
Eye line, presence, tone — so you command attention the moment you appear.
🎬 Action — We capture it, together.
Your words, your message, your call to action, recorded live with me right beside you, so your viewer always knows exactly what to do next.
You show up. I'm there every step.
Then I take it from there, I professionally edit your footage and deliver a finished ~3-minute First Impression welcome / intro video in 48 hours, ready to post to your website, your socials, or the top of your channel.
You walk away with two things:
The skills to show up with confidence every time you hit record, and
A finished welcome video that introduces you to the world, beautifully.
📸 Headshot Session | Brand Embodiment
- 20m
This is not a virtual call. This is a photo shoot.
A professional headshot session, photographed, directed, and delivered by Peggy McCartha. Certified professional photographer, 35+ years behind the camera, and for years one of the most industry-savvy and recognized headshot photographers in Los Angeles.
The tool is unconventional. I operate your cell phone camera remotely using professional photography software, directing you in real time exactly as I would in my studio. What makes it work isn't the technology. It's the photographer behind it.
You will be directed. You will be seen. And you will walk away with a headshot that reflects you and your brand, not just a "pretty photo".
Here's how the images work. You'll see them as we shoot. Those are proofs. They're copyrighted, unfinished, and not yours to use or edit. After the session, I personally retouch your final selects and deliver your finished, professionally retouched headshots within a few days. Those are yours to use, share, and enjoy.
One thing to set up before we shoot. I need your phone held by someone, or something, other than you. So line up a human "tripod." A partner, a friend, one of your kids. An actual tripod works, but a real live human is better, because they can move the phone exactly where I direct in the moment. Have someone on hand.
Your session is 20 minutes. Come ready.

Headshot Strategist® Session | 📸
- 60m
Prepare for Success before you take your headshots!
This is the first step to booking a Headshot Session. After your Strategy Session, we will book your photo shoot.
The Headshot Strategist® Session was designed to ensure you understand how to get an effective headshot that pops, so you can get noticed and in the door.
I use the same psychology with business images as I do with actors, to make sure you are reaching your intended audience.
Whether you are an actor or a business person...
Your headshot should be one of the biggest parts of your marketing strategy, not just a "pretty picture."
I will ask you the real questions. Together, we will get a plan for strategic, marketable headshots that portray the emotions, looks, and characters you need to market yourself effectively.
BE READY to dig deep and think about your career.
HAVE a notebook, pen/pencil.
BE READY to have fun!
This session is designed to prepare and equip you with the knowledge and insights to get the most out of your headshot and branding photos before you go to your photographer. I will prepare you with what you need to understand and communicate with your photographer to get the most effective images possible. As I will not be taking your images, I cannot guarantee any results, however, I will guarantee you will have an understanding of how you can best position your images for success.
This $300 Headshot Strategist® Session fee is non-refundable. If you book your headshot session with Headshots by Peggy, the full strategy session fee will be applied as a credit toward your headshot package.

TestimonialsAbout Peggy
Peggy McCartha doesn't teach people to be visible. She builds the rooms where visibility finally feels safe.
Business ecosystem architect. Founder of Global Business Plaza™. 37 years of building what wasn't there yet for people who deserved it and kept getting shut out anyway.
She's direct. She doesn't do hype. And she has a gift for naming the thing everyone in the room was already thinking but didn't know how to say.
If a door opens for her, she holds it for you.
