Corporate Headshots and Branding

A headshot session can include the typical head and shoulders photo along with full body images and branding.  It’s a great idea to get a variety of images that you can use for multiple purposes in marketing.  Consider the following for your next headshot and branding session.

  1. HEADSHOTS: Headshots for executive leadership and the rest of the company.  Headshots on the website and in social media marketing make a PERSONAL connection with your customers.  People do business with people.
  2. FULL BODY: Full body images can be used to create group photos.  Or special marketing pieces where you want to appear in a scene.
  3. ACTION: “Action” photos of people working and/or interacting with customers.  These are so useful in telling the story of your company.  Use them on websites and social media.
  4. BRANDING: Casual branding photos provide personality.  The subject is working, interacting with people, talking on the phone, or just walking down the street.  Again, people do business with people.

Let’s schedule a consultation today to discuss the specific needs for your company.  We’ll make a plan for a photo session that will address your needs and together we can create a portfolio of images for future marketing!

Recent Company Sessions

The Lilium Group needed both headshots for staff and full body images for the executive leadership.  The headshots will be updated on the website and the full body images will be composited with their trucks for a specific marketing piece.  I can’t wait to see the final product.  We had such a great session together.  Everyone was so supportive of each other and helped pick out a favorite headshot for each person.  It was great!

Christina contacted me about headshots for The Woodlands Hearing Center.  We photographed each staff member in the front office and I love how they turned out.  They now have fresh, modern headshots for the company website and marketing.

More headshots for MHW Real Estate, Rhame Gorrell, Shannon Wendell, and Waterman Steele.

If headshot lighting feels confusing, I put together a guide with 3 simple setups that will get you consistent results—link in bio.

If your headshots feel a little “off”… it’s usually not your camera—it’s your lighting.

Here are 5 mistakes I see all the time:

1️⃣ Lighting from below
Creates unflattering shadows. Keep your light slightly above eye level.

2️⃣ Too much (or too harsh) light
Softer, controlled light will always look more professional.

3️⃣ No direction to your light
Flat lighting = flat images. You need some angle to create depth.

4️⃣ Mixing multiple light sources
This is how you end up with weird color and inconsistent tones.

5️⃣ Ignoring catchlights
Small detail, big impact—this is what brings life to your subject’s eyes.

Lighting doesn’t need to be complicated… it just needs to be intentional.

Curious—what’s been the hardest part about lighting for you?

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.
