How to Create Unique Corporate Headshots

Corporate headshots begin with discussion about your company. What business are you in and what is your brand? I like to review the company website as well before we discuss options for headshots. If the website is all white with a light and airy feel, then we will want the headshots posted on the website to have that same style. If the website is dark and more formal, we want the headshots to reflect that as well. Matching the tone of the headshot with your brand and website go a long way toward making the headshots feel like they were planned and create a cohesive look. If you are re-doing your website, you may want to wait until some of the color and tone of the website decisions are made before scheduling the headshot session. First, review the style, colors, and tones with your photographer. Decide on a background for the headshots. Then advise everyone on wardrobe and clothing to match the style and colors. Finally, include some aspect to create that unique feel for your corporate headshots.

Headshots for Paradigm Construction

Sydney contacted me about updated headshots for Paradigm Construction. When we spoke on the phone, she knew that she wanted to use the brick wall in the conference room as the background for their images. This makes sense because they are a construction company. The brick wall makes a very unique and purposeful environment for the headshots. I was thrilled. Once I was set up in the conference room, we were able to get all 23 people photographed. Then a group photo with Briley, the company dog! It was so adorable…looking at me and smiling for the camera. Finally, a presentation to the CEO by his father for the fifth anniversary and it was a wrap.

One of my favorite things about this session 👇🏻

Every single person showed up in outfits that coordinated with their brand colors—without overdoing it.

Nothing felt forced. Nothing felt too “on brand.” It just worked.

And that’s the difference.

When you’re in a business like coaching, your brand isn’t separate from you… it IS you.

So the way you show up—your colors, your styling, your overall presence—matters more than you think.

When everything feels aligned, the end result is naturally more polished, more cohesive, and honestly… just better.

Not because it’s perfect—but because it feels intentional.

If you’re planning a branding session, start with clarity first—

🌟 What do you want your brand to feel like?

🌟 How do you want to show up?

That’s exactly why I created my Brand Personality Workbook—to help you define that before you ever step in front of the camera.

‼️ No clients (or videographers) were harmed in the making of this video 🤣

(For the record—this is very much a joke.)

But if you are a photographer, you know the real challenge isn’t getting someone in front of the camera… it’s knowing how to guide them once they’re there.

Small adjustments = big difference in how confident and natural someone looks.

And having a go-to posing flow makes everything feel easier—for you and your client. (so you don`t resort to violence 😉)

➡️ I put together a Headshot Posing Flow Cheat Sheet to help with exactly that—link in bio.

A quick look at the people and brands I had the chance to photograph this month 👇🏻

Grateful for every person and team that trusted me to capture this season of their business.

Each session is different, but the goal is always the same—to create images that actually represent you well and support where you’re going next.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your headshot or branding photos, now is a great time to get it scheduled before things get busy later in the year.

Taking team photos that actually look like your team 👇🏻

Clean. Consistent. Professional.

Because when your entire team shows up cohesively across your website, LinkedIn, and marketing… it makes a difference.

It builds trust.
It feels more established.
And it reflects the level your business is operating at today.

If you’re planning a team session, there’s more to it than just picking a date and showing up.

That’s exactly why I created a Corporate Headshot Planner—to help you organize everything ahead of time so your session runs smoothly and your final images feel aligned.

This is why good branding photos feel different 👇🏻

A strong session isn’t just about showing up and taking a few pictures.

It’s about direction.
It’s about intention.
It’s about creating images you can actually use across your business.

The end result should feel aligned—like your photos finally match the level you’re operating at now.

But here’s the part most people skip…
Before you ever step in front of the camera, you need clarity on your brand.

✅ What do you want your brand to feel like?
✅ How do you want to show up?

That’s exactly why I created my Brand Personality Workbook—to help you define that first so your photos actually work for you.

It’s funny… people assume I’m just showing up, taking photos, and moving on.

But in reality, I’m rooting for my clients long after the session is over.

Hoping they feel more confident.
Hoping they land the opportunity.
Hoping their photos help them show up the way they’ve been wanting to.

Because it’s never just about the pictures.
