Environmental Headshots

One option for headshots is an environmental headshot. This type of headshot involves using something other than a studio backdrop as your background. The background could simply be the office. Or it could be outside or another location. Consider the look that you’re trying to achieve when thinking about an environmental headshot. Is it important to have a professional office atmosphere or will a natural green background be better? Your occupation and role in your company will help determine some of these factors. Here are some examples of environmental headshots, both in the office and outside.

Headshots for Sterling Construction

I have photographed the leadership of Sterling Construction at their Hughes Landing office whenever the individuals are in town. I recently photographed another leader on the Sterling Construction team. We met in the office for the standard studio-type headshot. Then we also got an environmental headshot using the office as background. All of the leadership have both types of headshots, giving them options for website, social media profiles, and press releases. I love the office environmental shot as it gives a little more information to the headshot and allows the viewer to relate to the individual.

One day, this will be a memory. Don’t miss capturing it.

Senior year has a way of slipping by faster than you expect… and before you know it, they’re graduating.

These photos aren’t just for now—they’re something you’ll look back on for years to come, remembering exactly who they were in this moment.

If you’ve been putting it off, this is your reminder—time is running out and spots are limited.

Shutter speed is one of those things that feels confusing… until it clicks. 😉📸

For headshots, you don’t need anything complicated — just a solid, consistent range and an understanding of how your lighting plays into it.

If you’re a new photographer trying to figure all of this out, I’ve put together a few resources to help you get started — from gear to posing and more.

Perks of having a photographer mom?… you get senior photos that actually feel like you. 🤍

Getting to photograph my own son for his senior session was really special — and it’s also a perfect reminder of how important it is to make these sessions personal.

The guitar, the truck… these aren’t just props. They’re pieces of his story right now.

That’s what makes senior photos meaningful — capturing who you are in this moment, not just what you look like.

If you’re planning a senior session, think about what represents you — your hobbies, your interests, the things you’ll want to remember years from now.

Those are the details that turn photos into something you’ll truly hold onto.

Most people step in front of the camera thinking, “I have no idea what to do.”

That’s where I come in.

Every small adjustment you see here — posture, hands, angles — is intentional. It’s what turns a quick headshot into something confident and professional.

If you want to learn the poses I rely on most, I put together a guide breaking them down.

If you’re just getting into headshot photography, it’s easy to feel like you need everything to get started.

You don’t.

A solid light setup, a reliable camera, and a lens you can trust will take you a lot further than you think.

📸 For me, that looks like a Nikon Z7II mirrorless camera + a 70–200mm lens, paired with a simple lighting setup that keeps things consistent and professional.

It’s not about having the most gear — it’s about having the right setup and knowing how to use it.
