Reasons for Company Headshots

Company headshots are good business.  There are a few reasons why a professional headshot is necessary in today’s marketplace.

The Digital Handshake

The company headshot, known as the digital handshake, is possibly your first impression with the recruiter, the corporate partner, the business associate, or client.  A professional headshot creates a fantastic first impression because it is current, professional, and confident.  Without even meeting a person face-to-face, the headshot puts a visual image of you in this person’s mind.  Upon meeting you, the relationship can build on this solid foundation.  This is another reason why a CURRENT headshot is so important.  It should look like you and represent who you are.

Brand Building

For small business, YOU are your company and your brand.  What better way to build your brand than to put a face to the company.  People do business with people.  Customers, clients, and business associates need to see you.  A professional headshot is an opportunity to further build your brand and its awareness in the community.  Get yourself out there and build the brand!

Networking

Social media sites like LinkedIn are professional business sites.  Networking on these sites encourages business with friends and acquaintances.  Whether you are looking for a job or looking for a business partner or just looking to stay current in your field, a professional headshot sets the stage for this business relationship.  A selfie or a cut-out from a group photo is not a professional headshot and should not be considered a professional profile picture for business sites like LinkedIn.  Get a professional headshot and stay in the game!

Headshots for Abercrombie & Associates

I had another successful round of headshots with Abercrombie & Associates.  As new employees come on board, they have a professional headshot session with me.  Abercrombie & Associates is an accounting firm.  They value a professional headshot since their clients want to see the person with whom they are working.  I’m also a client of theirs and I like to know who’s working on my taxes.  Just seeing a face to put with the name helps put me at ease and gives me confidence in my relationship with my accountant.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

If your brand photos aren’t working… it’s probably because they’re not telling the full story. 📖

So many business owners come to me thinking they just need a good headshot. And while that’s a great pace to start—it’s not enough to truly connect with your audience.

When I work with clients on branding sessions, we create a variety of images that show who you are, how you work, and what it’s like to be in your world. Because that’s what people really want to see. 

Here are 5 types of brand photos I recommend for every business owner ⬇️

📸 Classic Headshot – Professional and polished, but with personality. Think confident, approachable, and totally on-brand.

📸 Lifestyle – You doing your thing—working on your laptop, taking client calls, sipping coffee. These shots feel natural and authentic (because they are).

📸 Detail or Flat Lay – The close-ups: your hands writing, your products, your favorite pen and planner. These add texture and storytelling to your visuals.

📸 Environment/Context – Your space, your vibe. Whether it’s a cozy home office or a sleek meeting room, it helps clients imagine being there with you.

📸Team or Interaction Shots – Collaborating, problem-solving, laughing. People want to see connection—these images make your brand feel human.

Every image we create is intentional—designed to help your audience picture themselves working with you and to build that all-important trust before they ever reach out.

I get it—you’ve hired someone new, and now you need a matching headshot… but your original photographer is no longer available. 😬

Do you really have to start over and re-photograph the whole team?

Not if you hire someone who knows how to recreate what’s already working.

That’s where I come in.

When a company calls me in to match an existing set of headshots, I study every detail of your current images so your new photos blend in flawlessly—like they were taken on the same day.

Here’s what I focus on to make that happen:

✅ Lighting – Studio or natural? Soft, directional, or diffused?

✅ Background – Color, texture, and how sharp or blurry it is.

✅ Cropping & Composition – How close is the shot? What’s the framing like?

✅ Posing & Expression – Are your team members posed formally or relaxed and candid?

✅ Editing Style – Bright and airy? Bold and contrasty? Warm or cool tones?

📸 The result: a polished, consistent set of headshots that reflect your brand—even across time, locations, or different photographers.

✨ You don’t need to start over. You just need the right photographer.

This Mother’s Day, skip the flowers and give her something timeless—a moment, beautifully captured.

She’s been your biggest supporter, your soft place to land, your strength through every season of life.

And while you may not say it every day… you feel it deeply: the love, the gratitude, the bond that only grows stronger over time.

A family photo session isn’t just about the images.

It’s about carving out time to be present with each other.

It’s about documenting the connection, the laughter, the quiet strength, and the unspoken love that lives in every glance and every touch.

Whether you’re celebrating your mom, becoming one yourself, or honoring the memory of someone dear—these portraits become keepsakes.

Not just for now, but for years to come.

📸 Mother’s Day sessions are relaxed, natural, and designed to feel more like a meaningful experience than a posed shoot.

✨ Limited spots available—let’s create something she’ll treasure forever.
