The Headshot

What is a headshot?  Wikipedia defines a headshot as: “A headshot is a photographic technique where the focus of the photograph is a person’s face”.  This is the main objective of the headshot – to show a person’s face.  Everything else including clothing, jewelry, and accessories are secondary.  However, these things can add or detract from the face if not planned appropriately.  I like to guide my clients towards clothing and backgrounds that are similar in tone and color so that the emphasis becomes the face.  A professional photographer will use lighting, posing, and expression to create a genuine reflection of you.  So come to your headshot session prepared to relax and have fun!  The most real smiles come when we can relax and just get to know you.

Cynthia, Executive Coach

Cynthia needed a headshot for her business.  She is an executive coach who helps people reflect and find their own future goals.  Sometimes those goals are in a current position and other times it may mean a whole shift in your career.  Cynthia is great at listening and helping people find that next step in their career path.

“Professional coaching is a creative, thought-provoking process where you as a client partner with your coach in a co-active relationship designed to help you get more of what you want out of life.  In professional coaching, you — the client — set the agenda and the goals. The coach supports and challenges you every step of the way to reach your goals. The coach also holds you accountable for shifting your perspective and taking action toward your own goals. At the heart of successful coaching is your commitment to initiating change, setting goals and creating specific, actionable solutions.  Coaching is not for everyone – but for those with the courage to step outside of their comfort zone to get more out of life and live without regrets, the results can be gratifying, even thrilling.” See more on her website at http://cynthiapike-fuentes.com/.

It's time to start planning Fall Family Photos! LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE 👇🏻

Fall is always one of my busiest seasons for family portraits, and those weekend dates tend to disappear quickly—so if family photos are on your list this year, now is the time to get them on the calendar.

CURRENT WEEKEND AVAILABILITY:
📅 September 20th
📅 October 3rd
📅 October 17th
📅 October 24th
📅 November 7th
📅 November 15th

Whether you’re updating the family photos on your walls, planning ahead for holiday cards, or simply realizing it’s been way too long since everyone was in the same photo… I’d love to document this season for you. 🤍

And remember—the kids aren’t going to look exactly like this next year. Don’t wait for the “perfect” time.

📸 Ready to claim your fall date? Book your family portrait session through the link in my bio. Once these weekends are gone, fall availability will be very limited!
🎓 Planning senior photos? Start with my Senior Session Guide!

I put it together to help you plan your session—from what to wear and what to bring to all the little details that make your photos feel like you. Grab it through the link in my bio!

And one thing I always encourage seniors to think about? Don’t document just one moment of senior year.

So much changes between the beginning of the school year and graduation.

Fall is about who you are right now—your personality, interests, style, sports, hobbies, and everything that made these last four years yours.

By spring, the focus starts shifting toward what’s next—college decisions, future plans, and all the excitement that comes with finishing senior year.

And then comes the cap and gown. 🎓 The final milestone before one chapter officially closes and another begins.

Senior year goes FAST. Take the photos. 🤍

Great headshot lighting doesn’t need to be complicated—it needs to be intentional. 📸

Where you place your light, how you position your reflector, and understanding what each one is actually doing can be the difference between a headshot that feels fine and one that looks clean, crisp, and polished.

And once you find setups that work? You don’t need to reinvent the wheel at every session.

That consistency is especially important when you’re photographing corporate teams and need every headshot to look cohesive—even when people are photographed at different times.

If you’re a photographer working on your headshot lighting, I put together a FREE guide with 3 Lighting Setups for Flawless Headshots that you can reference when planning your next session.

💡 Grab the guide through the link in my bio and save this reel for the next time you’re setting up your lights!
Your business doesn’t need to be “more established” first.

You don’t need to lose the weight, finish the website, perfect your wardrobe, or wait until you feel 100% ready.

If your current photos no longer reflect the level of business you’re building, that’s reason enough to update them.

A branding session gives you more than a new headshot—it gives you a library of intentional, on-brand images you can actually use across your website, social media, marketing, speaking opportunities, and everything in between.

We’ll plan the looks, the location, the shots you need, and how you’ll use them.

You just have to finally put it on the calendar. 😉
