Best Portrait Photographers

When planning your professional headshot session, you’ll want to look for the best portrait photographers.  Portrait photographers have the knowledge and skill to utilize lighting, posing, and post-production techniques to create an authentic, flattering headshot.  You want to look like the very best version of yourself – well rested, energetic, and confident.  These features all come through a headshot in striking ways.  A professional headshot instills a sense that you are capable, qualified, and able to tackle that job!  For companies that list employees or staff on the website, professional headshots provide a face behind the name.  People do business with people.  It’s so important to have that personal connection – now more than ever, since much of the workforce has been at home for the past year.

Corporate Headshots

Corporate headshots are just portraits where everyone has a uniform look.  If you’re using headshots in marketing materials, on your website, for job proposals, etc., it’s really important to have that uniformity across the company.  It’s cohesive and professional.  Uniformity doesn’t have to be boring or stale.  It just means that the headshots were all photographed by the same person with the same background, lighting, and general styling (wardrobe is formal or casual or somewhere in between).  Talk to your headshot photographer about your company and your brand to identify how your headshots can be authentic, cohesive, and a fantastic marketing tool for your business.

I put together a Guide to Photography Gear for those of you who need some help deciding what is actually worth investing in (and what's not). The link is in my bio!

Lighting is one of those things that feels complicated when you’re starting out… but it doesn’t have to be.

At the end of the day—light is light.

You don’t need the most expensive setup to get good results. What matters more is having something reliable that you understand how to use.

Especially if you’re shooting outside… the last thing you want is a $2,000 light going down in the wind.

Start simple.
Focus on gear you can trust.
And build from there.

Curious—what lighting setup are you using right now?
My Photographer Gear Guide is linked in my bio if you’re trying to figure out what’s actually worth investing in when you’re first starting out.

Because the truth is—you don’t need everything right away.

When you’re new, it’s easy to feel like you need all the gear… but really, it comes down to a few key pieces.

A solid camera body and a really good lens will take you further than a full bag of equipment you don’t know how to use yet.

If you’re deciding where to spend your money, start there.

A 24–70mm or 70–200mm lens will cover more than you think—and give you the flexibility to shoot a wide range of sessions without overcomplicating things.

Curious—what was the first piece of gear you invested in?
‼️ No clients (or videographers) were harmed in the making of this video 🤣

(For the record—this is very much a joke.)

But if you are a photographer, you know the real challenge isn’t getting someone in front of the camera… it’s knowing how to guide them once they’re there.

Small adjustments = big difference in how confident and natural someone looks.

And having a go-to posing flow makes everything feel easier—for you and your client. (so you don't resort to violence 😉)

➡️ I put together a Headshot Posing Flow Cheat Sheet to help with exactly that—link in bio.
A quick look at the people and brands I had the chance to photograph this month 👇🏻

Grateful for every person and team that trusted me to capture this season of their business.

Each session is different, but the goal is always the same—to create images that actually represent you well and support where you’re going next.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your headshot or branding photos, now is a great time to get it scheduled before things get busy later in the year.
