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.

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.

One day, this will be a memory. Don’t miss capturing it.

Senior year has a way of slipping by faster than you expect… and before you know it, they’re graduating.

These photos aren’t just for now—they’re something you’ll look back on for years to come, remembering exactly who they were in this moment.

If you’ve been putting it off, this is your reminder—time is running out and spots are limited.

Shutter speed is one of those things that feels confusing… until it clicks. 😉📸

For headshots, you don’t need anything complicated — just a solid, consistent range and an understanding of how your lighting plays into it.

If you’re a new photographer trying to figure all of this out, I’ve put together a few resources to help you get started — from gear to posing and more.

Most people step in front of the camera thinking, “I have no idea what to do.”

That’s where I come in.

Every small adjustment you see here — posture, hands, angles — is intentional. It’s what turns a quick headshot into something confident and professional.

If you want to learn the poses I rely on most, I put together a guide breaking them down.
