Create Your Own Headshot

When planning for your headshot session, consider that all of the little decisions that you and your photographer make will shape the final outcome of the headshot.  You can create your own headshot by talking with your photographer about all of the headshot decisions.  Consider the following:

  1. Location: this has a big impact on the final images.  Do you want a more casual, outdoor headshot?  Or would you prefer a studio look?  Even in the studio, I can create a natural light image but we don’t have to worry about the weather.  Many of my clients love this option!
  2. Wardrobe: another big decision that impacts the final images.  Your profession and role will play a factor in what you wear.  If your industry calls for formal attire with a suit and tie, then you probably should wear one too.  If your industry is more casual, then you should be as well.
  3. For women, hair and makeup: consider having professional hair and makeup done before the session.  My hair and makeup artist knows how to apply makeup to account for studio lighting.  She will make you look and feel amazing!

Sample Headshot Images

Here are just a few sample headshot images from recent sessions.  The first group is from a local psychologist office.  Their headshots are friendly and warm and casual in an outdoor setting.  They are slightly different yet similar in style.  For the next office, we used a neutral grey background and everyone wore a suit jacket and white button down shirt with no tie.  For me, this is professional yet not stuffy!  At the end of the headshots, we got a great group photo that is relaxed yet professional as well.  The final two headshot images were individuals that came to the studio.  Janie needed a professional headshot on a white background.  Her image is clean and ready for LinkedIn and her company website.  The last headshot was taken in the office and blends with the other headshots photographed last year.  With a few decisions prior to your session, you can create your own headshot!

Here's the truth ⬇️ 

Coordinating headshots for conference attendees shouldn't fall on your already-overloaded admin team.

If you're planning a conference with attendees flying in from all over, here's what happens when you add a professional headshot station to your event:

✅ Zero scheduling coordination (no calendar nightmare)
✅ Professional headshots captured on-site during the event
✅ Automatic delivery via link—no manual file sending
✅ Optional email capture for your database (bonus networking intel)
✅ Literally zero admin work for your team

The software handles everything. Your attendees get professional headshots. You get organized delivery and optional email data. Your admin team gets their sanity back.

Ready to eliminate headshot coordination from your event planning checklist?

Let me walk you through a corporate event headshot session 👇🏻

I set up a professional headshot station right at your event—guests funnel in and out in minutes, and here's the magic:

✨ Quick, guided posing (I'll tell you exactly what to do—no awkward guessing) 
✨ Instant proof gallery so you can choose your favorite on the spot 
✨ Polished, professional edits delivered fast 
✨ Cohesive headshots for the whole team (perfect for company websites, LinkedIn, you name it)

The best part? You don't have to schedule separate sessions, travel anywhere, or stress about what to wear. You show up, I guide you through it, and you leave with a headshot that actually represents you well.

No stiff corporate vibes. No feeling lost in front of the camera. Just efficient, professional, and dare I say... kinda fun? 😄

Corporate event headshots = convenience + quality + personality. If your company is planning an event and wants to give your team this experience, let's talk.

Here's the truth 👇🏻

Your headshot has an expiration date. ⏰

If your current headshot is more than three years old, it's time for a refresh.

When someone looks you up before a meeting or collaboration, they're forming their first impression. If your headshot doesn't match who shows up on the Zoom call, it creates an immediate disconnect.

Your headshot should reflect who you are RIGHT NOW. Your current energy. Your current confidence. Your current professional presence. 

✨ THE 3-YEAR RULE:
Update your headshot every 2-3 years, or sooner if you've had a significant change in appearance, role, or brand positioning.

💡 PRO TIP:
If you're hesitant because you don't love being photographed, that's exactly why the right photographer matters. Your session should feel empowering, not vulnerable.

You are worthy of being seen exactly as you are right now. Let's create headshots that feel authentic and work hard for your business.

Here's the truth—these three mistakes are quietly killing your credibility:

1️⃣ Inconsistent visuals across platforms

LinkedIn headshot ≠ Instagram profile ≠ Website photo

This creates confusion and distrust. Your audience needs to recognize YOU instantly, everywhere.

2️⃣ Outdated or low-quality photos

That 2019 selfie or grainy event photo? Not helping.

Professional imagery signals you take your business seriously—so clients can trust you with theirs.

3️⃣ Hiding behind logos or stock photos

People connect with PEOPLE, not faceless brands.

If they can't see the human behind the business, they're scrolling past.

✨ The good news? All of this is fixable.

Investing in professional branding photography isn't just about pretty pictures—it's about building trust and credibility that converts.
