The Headshot Photograph

Whether you need a business headshot or acting headshot, the headshot photograph is essential to your success. Dare I say, it’s the number one, first and foremost place to start or refresh your image. Small businesses rely on the face of the company and that’s YOU! Larger corporations need to show the unity of their teams and how they are all working towards the same goal – to serve the client. Similarly, actors need a headshot when starting a career in acting and also frequent updates. Make sure your headshot is 1) CURRENT, 2) TRUE and 3) PROFESSIONAL! There are so many bad headshots out there. It truly pains me. You have literally seconds to make a first impression.

Examples of Recent Headshots

Here are a few of the recent headshots for business and acting. Natalie needed an updated headshot for work. We worked together to get just the right pose for her. Connor’s mom contacted me about his headshot. He’s getting ready to enter the workforce and now has a fantastic headshot for his resume and LinkedIn profile. Ready to tackle the job force! Simon is an actor, just getting started with a company out of New York City. He needed a headshot to send and we got three different looks for him. Finally, Jordan is a lawyer with a firm that I have photographed for a few years. His new headshot will be featured with the rest of the company and fit perfectly!

Want flawless, consistent headshots every single time? Here`s the secret 👇🏻

The right equipment and settings.

When you`re starting out, headshot photography can feel inconsistent—great results one session, frustrating the next.

Here`s what I`ve learned: Consistency isn`t about luck. It`s about dialing in your setup.

✅ The right lens and focal length
✅ Lighting that flatters every face
✅ Camera settings you can replicate
✅ A process that works under pressure

When you nail these fundamentals, you stop second-guessing yourself. Your clients get professional results every time. And you build a reputation for quality they can count on.

Let me walk you through a corporate event headshot session 👇🏻

I set up a professional headshot station right at your event—guests funnel in and out in minutes, and here`s the magic:

✨ Quick, guided posing (I`ll tell you exactly what to do—no awkward guessing)
✨ Instant proof gallery so you can choose your favorite on the spot
✨ Polished, professional edits delivered fast
✨ Cohesive headshots for the whole team (perfect for company websites, LinkedIn, you name it)

The best part? You don`t have to schedule separate sessions, travel anywhere, or stress about what to wear. You show up, I guide you through it, and you leave with a headshot that actually represents you well.

No stiff corporate vibes. No feeling lost in front of the camera. Just efficient, professional, and dare I say... kinda fun? 😄

Corporate event headshots = convenience + quality + personality. If your company is planning an event and wants to give your team this experience, let`s talk.

Here`s the truth 👇🏻

Your headshot has an expiration date. ⏰

If your current headshot is more than three years old, it`s time for a refresh.

When someone looks you up before a meeting or collaboration, they`re forming their first impression. If your headshot doesn`t match who shows up on the Zoom call, it creates an immediate disconnect.

Your headshot should reflect who you are RIGHT NOW. Your current energy. Your current confidence. Your current professional presence.

✨ THE 3-YEAR RULE:
Update your headshot every 2-3 years, or sooner if you`ve had a significant change in appearance, role, or brand positioning.

💡 PRO TIP:
If you`re hesitant because you don`t love being photographed, that`s exactly why the right photographer matters. Your session should feel empowering, not vulnerable.

You are worthy of being seen exactly as you are right now. Let`s create headshots that feel authentic and work hard for your business.

Here`s the truth—these three mistakes are quietly killing your credibility:

1️⃣ Inconsistent visuals across platforms

LinkedIn headshot ≠ Instagram profile ≠ Website photo

This creates confusion and distrust. Your audience needs to recognize YOU instantly, everywhere.

2️⃣ Outdated or low-quality photos

That 2019 selfie or grainy event photo? Not helping.

Professional imagery signals you take your business seriously—so clients can trust you with theirs.

3️⃣ Hiding behind logos or stock photos

People connect with PEOPLE, not faceless brands.

If they can`t see the human behind the business, they`re scrolling past.

✨ The good news? All of this is fixable.

Investing in professional branding photography isn`t just about pretty pictures—it`s about building trust and credibility that converts.

Here`s the truth 👇🏻

Your team needs updated headshots, but coordinating individual sessions? That`s a scheduling nightmare.

What if I told you there`s a better way? ✨

I recently set up a headshot station at a corporate event, and it was a game-changer. Employees funneled in and out throughout the event, and everyone left with polished, professional headshots—no stress, no complicated scheduling, just done.

Here`s why companies are loving this:

📸 Consistent branding – Everyone gets the same professional quality and cohesive look across your website and marketing materials

⏱️ Time efficient – No coordinating 50+ individual appointments. Your team gets it done in one event.

💼 Boosts credibility – Professional headshots elevate your entire team`s presence online and in client-facing materials

🎉 Low-pressure environment – The event atmosphere keeps it relaxed and fun, not awkward and formal

And here`s the best part ⬇️

With my new software, each person gets their own private proof gallery to choose their favorite shot. No waiting, no back-and-forth—they`re in control.

Your employees get professional images they actually feel confident using. Your company gets cohesive, credible branding. Win-win.
