The Advantage of a Private Headshot Session

A corporate headshot session is great for companies and employees.  The company gets a uniform, professional look for all employees that looks great on the company website or  internal database.  The employee gets a professional headshot to use for social media, email signatures, or other promotional materials.  During a corporate headshot session, I will set up background and lighting equipment in a common area in the office and photograph a team or entire company.

There are advantages, however, to a private headshot session.   Instead of a corporate session with many people, the private headshot session includes only you and me!  First, there is the advantage of being the only one.  Many times in a corporate session, co-workers are mingling in the background and can be a distraction or detriment to the person getting a headshot.  Another advantage is time.  We can spend as much time as needed to get the right pose and expression.  Additional time also allows us to change wardrobe and backgrounds for several different looks.  Finally, a private session affords the advantage of personal attention.  My focus is on you and you get the very best headshot that we can make.

Headshots for Colleen

Colleen needed an updated headshot.  I regularly photograph corporate sessions at her corporate office in downtown Houston.  She knew, though, that a private headshot session would allow her time and attention that the corporate session would not allow.  So, we used the same background that I would normally use for the corporate session so she would have a headshot that matches the rest of the company.  Then we used a natural light setup and different background.  She can use these headshots on other social media or marketing materials.  I love the new look for Colleen and the options that the private session allowed.

This is why good branding photos feel different 👇🏻

A strong session isn’t just about showing up and taking a few pictures.

It’s about direction.
It’s about intention.
It’s about creating images you can actually use across your business.

The end result should feel aligned—like your photos finally match the level you’re operating at now.

But here’s the part most people skip…
Before you ever step in front of the camera, you need clarity on your brand.

✅ What do you want your brand to feel like?
✅ How do you want to show up?

That’s exactly why I created my Brand Personality Workbook—to help you define that first so your photos actually work for you.

📥 Grab it through the link in my bio, then let’s plan your session.
It’s funny… people assume I’m just showing up, taking photos, and moving on.

But in reality, I’m rooting for my clients long after the session is over.

Hoping they feel more confident.
Hoping they land the opportunity.
Hoping their photos help them show up the way they’ve been wanting to.

Because it’s never just about the pictures.

📩 If you’re ready for photos that actually support where you’re going, you can book through the link in my bio.
You don’t just get a few photos…

You get a full set of images you can actually use—
for your website, your content, your launches, and everything in between.

Because as a coach, you are your brand.
And the way you show up visually matters more than most people realize.

My goal isn’t just to take good photos—
it’s to help you feel confident, natural, and aligned in how you present yourself.

📩 If you’ve been putting off branding photos, this is your sign—link in bio to start planning.
Mid-session. Camera in hand. Client in front of me…
and suddenly my camera starts throwing error codes.

I turn it off. Pull the battery. Take the card out.
Put everything back in and hope it works again.

And then it happens again.

Three memory cards failed on me during that shoot.

After that, I switched to Sony Tough cards—and haven’t had an issue since.

It’s one of those things you don’t think about… until you’re in a high-pressure moment and your gear has to perform.

📥 If you’re a photographer and want a breakdown of the gear I actually use and trust, I’ve put together a guide—link in bio.

👇🏼 But I'm curious, what cards have been working for you?
