Fun Headshots

Not all headshot sessions have to be stiff and dull.  No way!  Headshots can be fun.  In fact, I laugh a lot during headshot sessions.  I’m usually talking to my subject about whatever it is that we find in common.  That usually leads to extended conversations and before you know it, we are friends.  Corporate headshot sessions are lots of fun because the office jabs and the peanut gallery are always present.  Let’s face it – everyone is the hardest on themselves so looking at photos of yourself is sometimes hard to do.  But if we keep things in perspective and have fun, the resulting headshot will be great!

My Session with Karen

Karen needed an updated headshot for her job search.  I photographed her partner the week prior and she came along for Karen’s session.  We laughed a lot.  It was such a fun session!  Karen is super relaxed in front of the camera and just about nailed every shot.  So with her business headshots done, we moved on to even more fun.  They brought props.  Oh, I love props.  And these were especially nice because Karen also has a travel, food, and wine blog.  So the next headshots were to be included on her blog with the wine.  I just adore these fun shots of Karen and the wine.  One of my favorites is the focus on her wine glass while she is slightly blurry in the background.  You really get the feeling that she is holding out that glass of wine for you, the viewer.  Yes, please!  To top it all off, someone had to drink the wine at the end of the session!  Yes, I helped.

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.
