Headshot Portrait

A headshot portrait looks a little different for everyone because everyone has a unique look, style, profession, and role.  Your role and occupation play a big part in what your headshot looks like.  For therapists, realtors, and life coaches, a headshot needs to be friendly and outgoing.  Physicians also need to be friendly and welcoming because we want new patients.  Lawyers can be more serious but also approachable.  A few things are common across all headshots:

  1. Focus – the whole idea of a headshot is to introduce yourself to potential customers, clients, business partners, etc.  So the focus of the image is on the face.  The background, clothing, and jewelry should play a secondary role in the headshot and merely serve to enhance the image.
  2. Expression – since the goal of the headshot is to introduce ourselves, it’s important to be friendly.  The expression in a headshot should be welcoming.  I like big, teeth-y smiles but I understand that some people enjoy a smaller smile or an in-between smile that is still friendly but not overly “cheesy”.
  3. Polish – this is an introduction to people that you may or may not know.  Make sure you are polished!  For women, hair and makeup should be completely done and ready to go for the session or you can have my hair and makeup artist do it before the session.  For men and women, whatever you choose to wear for the headshot, make sure that it fits properly and is clean and pressed.  Nothing says ill-prepared like a wrinkled coat or shirt.  Come ready to rock your session!

A New Headshot for Jennifer

Jen contacted me because a co-worker recommended me for a headshot session!  I love those types of referrals – it’s really how my business runs and thrives!  We had a fantastic session together and got a number of headshots for her to choose from with different backgrounds, looks, and expressions.  She solicited help from family and friends to help her choose the very best headshot.  After a little bit of editing and retouching, we were able to perfect that one headshot for Jen.  She now has a new, polished headshot for her real estate business.

Your face is the star of your headshot — and how your hair frames it makes all the difference. ✨

Here`s what most people miss: hair should frame your features, not compete with them.

✨ Thicker hair? Pull it back to highlight your face.

✨ Thinner hair? Bring it forward for balance and dimension.

Small adjustments like this help your headshot truly reflect you — confident, polished, and professional.

The goal is simple: when someone sees your photo, they see YOU. Your personality, your confidence, your energy — all in one image.

📩 Want guidance on how to make your headshot look and feel its absolute best?

📲 DM me to schedule a consultation and let’s create a photo that works for you.

Here`s why a branding session should be on your 2026 business to-do list:👇🏼

Fresh professional photos aren`t just about looking polished (though that`s nice too).

Think about it: Your website needs updated imagery. Your social media needs consistent visuals. Your email signature needs a current headshot. Your speaking proposals need professional photos. Your media kit needs variety.

Without a strategic branding session, you`re either:

❌ Using the same 3 photos on repeat (hello, stale feed)

❌ Scrambling with last-minute iPhone selfies that don`t match your brand

❌ Wasting time every month trying to create new content

A solid branding session gives you dozens of professional images you can pull from all year long. Different backgrounds, different outfits, different vibes—all ready to go when you need them.

Stop recreating the wheel every time you need a visual. Get it done once, use it everywhere.

Ready to stock your content vault? Let`s talk strategy.

Behind every great brand photo is a whole lot of collaboration, laughter, and intention.

You don’t need to be a model—you need a photographer who knows how to guide, coach, and bring out the energy that aligns with your brand.

In Part 2 of Danielle’s mic’d-up session, we’re showing more behind-the-scenes of what it really looks like when strategy and personality come together on camera.

✨ This is branding photography done with purpose.

Marketing managers, be honest 👇🏻

How consistent are your team`s LinkedIn profiles right now?

Take a quick scroll through your company`s employee profiles.

Are you seeing:
→ Different backgrounds and lighting styles?
→ Photos that look like they`re from different decades?
→ Some professional shots mixed with casual selfies?
→ A few people still using their college graduation photo?

Here`s what happens when your team headshots are all over the place: Your company looks disorganized. Less credible. Less professional than your competitors.

Your team`s visual consistency directly impacts how clients perceive your business.

The solution? Event-based headshot sessions that give your entire team cohesive, professional imagery in one efficient appointment.

✨ Same lighting, same style, same professional quality
✨ Everyone photographed at your office during a corporate event
✨ Private galleries so each team member controls their image
✨ Done in hours, not months of scheduling chaos

Is your team due for updated headshots? Let`s make it happen.

Doesn`t this look fun? 🤩 📸

The posing cues. The lighting adjustments. The real-time direction that turns good shots into professional brand assets.

Here`s what most business owners don`t realize: branding sessions aren`t just about getting photos - they`re about creating strategic content you`ll actually use across your website, social media, and marketing materials.

One efficient session = months of professional imagery that elevates your entire business presence.
