How environment affects your headshot

The location of your headshot affects the overall look and feel of the image!  Consider these different locations before your next headshot session:

Outdoors: an outdoor headshot lends a more casual feel to the image.  It can still be professional and polished but is more relaxed and open.  Be sure to consider wardrobe when doing an outdoor session (casual attire will take the headshot in an even more casual direction while a suit jacket keeps it more formal).

Environmental: we can use the office as background for your next headshot session.  For these sessions, it is critical to find the right location in the office to provide an interesting background with light and shape.  Leave a little extra time with your photographer to investigate and test out different areas in the office that might be a good location.

Studio: the major benefit of a studio headshot is it’s repeatability.  We can provide studio headshots in our studio or in your office and the outcome will be consistent.  If you are photographing the entire company or team, these are a good choice because we can add new people as they onboard with no problems.

Headshot Examples

John’s outdoor headshots were fantastic!  A casual yet professional look that is relaxed and approachable.  The next set of headshots for HKS (an architectural firm in Houston) were set up in the office conference room.  We got a variety of poses, suited to each person but with a consistent look.  Finally, Will’s studio session accomplished exactly what he needed: a professional, formal business headshot for the company.  Each one of these locations was perfect for the needs of each company/person.

Senior photos shouldn’t feel random… they should feel like you. 👇🏻

Before every session, we talk through a few key things to make sure your photos actually reflect this moment in your life:

✅ Location — what kind of vibe fits you? (nature, city, something more edgy?)
✅ Wardrobe — casual, polished, cap & gown, college tee… we plan it out
✅ Hobbies & interests — the things you love right now that you’ll want to remember later

Because the goal isn’t just to take photos…
it’s to capture who you are right now before everything changes. 🎓

📩 If you’re planning senior photos, let’s start with a consultation and build something intentional.

Cap and gown season is here 🎓

If you didn’t get senior photos done earlier, this is your moment—professional cap & gown photos and college tee shots are the perfect way to wrap up senior year.

And now that decisions are made, it’s the best time to capture where they’re headed next.

What’s my favorite thing to see as a photographer? 👇🏻

My clients actually using their photos.

Profile pictures. Websites. Social media. Marketing.
Not just sitting in a gallery… but showing up in the places that matter.

Because the truth is—your photos are often the first impression people have of you or your business.

And when they’re intentional, consistent, and professional… it shows.

That’s the difference between “just a photo” and something that actually works for you.
