About Claudia Hoag
A one-eyed photographer? Aye, matey. I started shooting with my dad’s Canon F1 when I was in elementary school, I didn’t lose my eye until my junior year in college; while there was a slight period of adjustment it was not as difficult as relearning how to pour a glass of water. When you think about it, it should actually make photographing easier as I already have to create dimensions in a flat capture with my eye’s single lens!
The vision loss does not stop me from doing what I love: photographing people. This is best when they are not too conscious of my camera. I’d like to have a cloak of invisibility so that I could go around taking pictures of people’s expressions in crowded places. Meanwhile, I’ll bring some humans to my studio and try to get them to be as forgetful of my presence as possible while standing in front of my lens.
“I need to look good in my photo.”
For many people, taking headshots can be daunting. Not to worry.
With great photography and good coaching, you can look great and have fun doing it.
You can absolutely look polished, confident, approachable, and natural in your headshots.
Even if you’ve dreaded posing for pictures before.

My aim is to have a fun, relaxed session.
HOW IT WORKS
- Book a session.
Use the online scheduler where you can pick a day and time. I’ll call you back, and we’ll go over what to bring, and any questions you might have.
- Shoot.
Your session should be relaxed, with no worries. I will work with you to get you at ease in front of the camera, and I will coach you through.
- Pick your images.
Right there at the session, you will select what images you like the most. I will retouch them in the next few hours and send them to you!
