A Professional Image That Makes You Stand Out
Your headshot is often the first impression potential clients, employers, and colleagues have of you. We understand that a powerful headshot does more than just capture your appearance—it conveys your professionalism, confidence, and approachability.
Studies show that professionals with quality headshots are three times more likely to be perceived as trustworthy compared to those using amateur photos.
Our Photography Philosophy
We believe that the best headshots capture both expertise and approachability. Our approach combines technical excellence with personalized coaching to ensure you look confident and natural in front of the camera.
Throughout the entire process, you'll be coached towards creating captivating portraits tailored specifically for you, with tips for looking your best in front of the camera.
The Headshot Session Experience
Before Your Session
Preparation is key to a successful headshot. We recommend:
Wardrobe Selection: Wear clothing that makes you feel comfortable and confident. If you don't feel comfortable in what you're wearing, it will show in your photographs. Bring a variety of colors and options, favoring solid colors over patterns and textures, and layers for variety.
Consider Your Goals: Dress for the position or professional image you want to project. Your headshot should align with your industry standards while still showcasing your personality.
Come Prepared: If you're unsure about certain outfits, bring them along anyway—we can decide together what works best. You can even bring new clothing with tags if you want to try something specific for the shoot and return it later.
During Your Session
Our sessions are designed to be comfortable, efficient, and even enjoyable. Here's what to expect:
Personalized Coaching: We don't just take pictures—we act as "consultants for your face," coaching and directing you to achieve your best headshot ever. Even the most camera-shy clients look natural with our guidance.
Real-Time Feedback: We'll show your photos throughout the session so you can see what's working and make adjustments for the perfect look.
Multiple Options: We'll capture various angles and expressions to give you options that showcase different aspects of your professional persona.
For Corporate Teams
We offer services either in our studio or on-location at your office, providing each team member with a one-look headshot session. All team members select their preferred image on-site, ensuring everyone is satisfied with their portrait. This approach creates consistent, professional imagery across your organization.
Our Editing and Delivery Process
Professional Retouching
All selected images receive professional retouching and are delivered digitally. For corporate clients, headshots are organized alphabetically by last name for easy distribution. Our editing approach ensures your photos look like the best version of yourself—natural and professional without looking overly processed.
Timely Delivery
We understand that you're eager to start using your new professional image. We typically deliver your photos within 3-5 business days as our standard delivery process ensures you receive your finalized images promptly, allowing you to update your professional profiles without delay.
Why Professional Headshots Matter
Professional headshots significantly impact your business presence, with studies showing they can increase profile views by 21 times on LinkedIn and other professional platforms.
