Professional Business Headshots

All companies can benefit from professional business headshots.  From single-person small businesses to large multi-billion dollar corporations, everyone needs business headshots.  Why?  Because people do business with people.  You don’t make a sale or form a partnership with a company.  You make that connection with another human being.  It is that human connection that is real and tangible.  The business headshot allows us to see the person on the other end of the deal, even before meeting them in person.  A friendly smile goes a long way towards forming that connection of familiarity and trust.

A professional headshot is critical to the image that you portray of yourself in business.  A professional photographer will help you find the best clothing, backgrounds, lighting, and retouching for your image.  As a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP), Tara has the technical knowledge and proven skill to guide you through these steps as part of the process.  Use your new professional headshot for the company website, business cards, marketing materials, LinkedIn profile, and much more!

Headshots for The Optimal Financial Group

Ashley contacted me about headshots for herself and her boss for The Optimal Financial Group.  They both came into the studio for the headshots.  A financial group should present itself a little more formally with darker colors.  This signals strength and stability.  They chose the perfect colors for wardrobe to compliment our medium grey background.   We had a great shoot and now these ladies have professional business headshots on the company website.

Shooting outdoors doesn’t always mean “perfect lighting.” 👇🏻

One of the biggest challenges with natural light is inconsistency—
skin tones can shift depending on shade, surroundings, and even reflections (hello green grass 👀).

That’s why I use off-camera flash, even outside.

It helps create:
✅ consistent skin tones
✅ balanced lighting
✅ a cleaner, more polished final image

So instead of guessing what the light is doing…
I’m controlling it.

📥 If you’re a photographer trying to figure out lighting + gear, I’ve put together a guide with the setups I actually use—link in bio.

What it looks like behind the camera… vs. what you get 👇🏻

Different sessions, different people, different goals—
but always the same focus: helping you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

Headshots, branding, families, seniors, and more… it all comes back to capturing people in a way that actually feels like them.

You don’t need the most expensive gear to be a good photographer.

When I first started, I thought I needed everything—top-tier camera, expensive lighting, all of it.

The reality?

A solid camera and a good lens will take you a long way.

If you’re just starting out, keep it simple:
✨ A versatile zoom lens (24–70mm or 70–200mm)
✨ Gear you can rely on and learn inside and out

And when it comes to lighting—especially outdoors—don’t overinvest too early.

Wind happens. Gear gets knocked over. Things break.

Light is light.

Focus on learning how to use what you have before worrying about upgrading everything.

Most men think they don’t know how to pose for a headshot…

but it’s not about knowing poses.

It’s about a few simple adjustments that make you look confident and natural on camera.

A couple go-to options (like the classic “GQ” stance, arms crossed, or a relaxed lean) can completely change how you show up.

And the rest? That’s what I guide you through.

📥 If you’re also not sure what to wear, I’ve got you covered—grab my Men’s Style Guide for Headshots through the link in my bio.

📩 Ready for updated headshots? You can book through the link as well.

If you’re just getting started in photography… don’t worry about finding your niche right away.

When I first started, I photographed everything—weddings, babies, families, headshots, corporate… if someone needed photos, I was there.

And that’s how you figure it out.

You don’t find your niche by waiting—you find it by doing the work, learning what you like, and getting better with every session.

Every type of shoot teaches you something different.
Every client builds your experience.

Over time, you start to see what actually fits you—and that’s where your expertise comes from.

📥 If you’re in that phase right now, I’ve put together resources to help—covering lighting, gear, posing, and more.
