Natural Headshots

The most important thing about a professional headshot is that it looks like you and represents you.  This might sound like a silly thing.  Of course, it will look like me, because it is me!  But what I mean is that you are relaxed and we create a natural headshot.  It is an image that when people see it, they know the real you.  Here are a few tips for helping your photographer create a natural headshot:

  1. Be prepared for your headshot session.  That means picking out your outfits ahead of time and making sure they fit and still look good.  If your photographer allows it, bring an extra outfit or shirt for an additional look.  For women, allow plenty of time for hair and makeup.
  2. Get rest.  Like any big day, be sure to have adequate rest before your headshot session.  Your photographer can Photoshop the eyes but everything about you will shine brighter with a good night’s sleep!
  3. Relax and have fun!  I know, it’s just a headshot.  But this is an image that will represent you for another year or so.  Chat with your photographer about why you are having a headshot done now and what you need it for.  Or just chat about what you had for breakfast.  I’ve been known to do a lot of chatting before we even get a few shots off.

Corporate Headshots for PGAL

PGAL is an architecture firm with an office location in Houston.  I have photographed headshots for them in the past.  This session was to photograph the rest of the office.  I love the natural headshots that we created.  Using both artificial and natural light, we created portraits in their break room that are natural with a pop of their signature color.  These headshots represent the company brand and are real.  The leadership also got a second headshot that shows a little more scene and personality.  PGAL’s website will be updated with the new headshots and leadership images.  A most professional way to introduce themselves to potential clients.

If you’re a speaker, your images speak before you do. 🎤

Event planners are checking your website, your LinkedIn, your media kit — all before they ever reach out. And the first question they’re asking is:

“Can I imagine this person on our stage?”

That’s why speaker-focused imagery matters.

In my headshot + branding sessions, I don’t just have to take portraits —
I can recreate the experience of you presenting.

Spotlight, stage-inspired lighting, gestures, expressions, confidence… even if we’re shooting in my studio, we can make it look like you’re mid-keynote.

Because if speaking is part of your business, your visuals should reflect that — long before you step on stage.

When someone lands on your profile or website, they make a decision in seconds. 👀

Are you credible? Professional? Trustworthy?

Your branding images answer those questions before you ever say a word.

Strong, consistent visuals don’t just “look nice” — they build recognition, trust, and momentum. They show potential clients who you are, what you do, and the level you operate at.

And if your business has grown?
Your visuals should grow with it. ✨
