Location Headshots | Houston Headshot Photographer

Location Headshots

During the planning phase of our headshot session, we will discuss location. The location and background of your images has a big impact on the final look and feel of your headshots. So it’s worth taking the time to discuss and think through the options. First, business headshots can be photographed your office, my studio, another location, or outdoors. In the office or studio, we can use a studio setup or we can use an environmental setup. For some companies, the studio setup is most appropriate and provides a professional, consistent headshot for all employees. For others, an environmental or more casual location works best. Many small business owners like to have their own location in the background of their headshots. It offers a glimpse into the heart and soul of the business. In summary, take a few minutes and discuss location with your photographer for the best headshot outcome!

Studio, On-Location, and Outdoor On-Location

In the headshot examples below, you’ll see studio looks that were photographed both on-location (in the office) and in my studio. The benefit of on-location headshots is that I require very little of your time for the actual session. You can pop into my setup once I’m ready and literally just spend a few minutes with me. You’ll see the images on my iPad so that you know what we’ve created together. No surprises at the image reveal. The last examples here are outdoor environmental headshots for a realtor. She knew that she wanted an outdoor look and absolutely fell in love with her new headshots. Now she’s off and running with her new realty business!

🤝🏼 Meet Danielle Woods

Danielle is a powerhouse in the world of HR technology—helping companies around the globe turn HR into a high-impact, value-driving part of their business. As a Global Director of People Technology and Workday strategist, she’s led digital transformations across 40+ countries and supported companies through major milestones like M&As and IPOs. 🚀

This is Danielle’s third branding session with me—and that’s something I always love to see.

Because your brand isn’t static. As your business grows and evolves, your visuals should reflect that.

For Danielle’s last two sessions, we worked in a professional studio setting. This time, she wanted something more relaxed and personal—so we turned her home into the backdrop.

And that shift matters. Your photos should match not just what you do, but how you show up now.

Updating your branding isn’t about starting over—it’s about staying aligned with where your business is today.

Danielle, thank you for trusting me (again) to capture your brand. 🤍

2027 graduates… this is your moment. ✨👇🏻

Senior year comes up faster than you think—and before you know it, calendars are full and you’re trying to squeeze something in last minute.

The best sessions happen when there’s time to plan.
Time to choose the right location, the right outfits, and create photos that actually feel like you.

Every senior you see here had a session that was intentional, relaxed, and built around who they are.

That’s what makes the difference.

If you’re part of the Class of 2027 (or the parent of), now is the time to start thinking about your session.

📩 You can book a consultation through the link in my bio.

If you’re just starting a photography business… you need to watch this.

I recently showed up to a headshot session at an office building with all my gear—ready to go—and security wouldn’t let me in.

Not because anything was wrong… but because there was a miscommunication, and I didn’t have a certificate of insurance on file with the building.

It’s one of those things you don’t think about when you’re first starting out—but it matters.

As you grow and start booking more corporate or on-location sessions, these small admin details become part of the job.

Clear communication with your client (or their admin team) ahead of time can save you a lot of stress on shoot day.

👉🏻 If you’re in that stage of figuring everything out, I’ve put together a few resources to help you avoid mistakes like this—grab them in my bio.

What’s something you’ve learned the hard way on a shoot? 🤔⬇️

One of the biggest things I hear from senior guys is:
“I don’t know how to pose…”

And honestly—you don’t need to.

That’s my job.

Most of the poses you see here are simple, natural, and just small adjustments that make a big difference on camera. The goal isn’t to feel stiff or over-posed—it’s to look like yourself, just a little more confident.

I’ll guide you through everything during your session so it feels easy and relaxed the entire time.

Senior year is coming up quickly, and sessions start filling up once the school year gets going.

If you’ve been thinking about senior photos, now is a great time to start planning.

Think Tank Bags… if you see this… please sponsor me 🤝🏼

But in all seriousness—photographers love a good piece of gear.

And it’s really easy to convince yourself that the next upgrade is what’s going to take your work to the next level.

Sometimes that’s true.

If a piece of equipment makes your workflow smoother, more efficient, or solves a real problem for you—it’s worth every penny.

But if it’s just shiny, new, and replacing something that already works… it can probably wait.

The goal isn’t to have more gear—it’s to have the right gear for how you actually shoot.

🔗 If you’re trying to figure out what’s actually worth investing in, I put together a Photographer Gear Guide that breaks it all down—link in bio.

🤔 Curious… what’s one piece of equipment you’ve bought that was 100% worth it?

A small snapshot of the teams I’ve worked with recently 📸👇🏻

Headshots are one of those things that are easy to put off… until you realize your photos no longer reflect where you are now.

Outdated images, inconsistent team photos, or a mix of styles across platforms can quietly take away from how your brand is perceived.

A headshot refresh doesn’t have to be complicated—it just needs to be intentional.

If your team’s photos haven’t been updated in a while, this is a good time to take a look at what you’re currently using.

📩 If you’re ready for a headshot refresh, you can book a consultation through the link in my bio.
