Website Photography

Are you in the process of updating your website or thinking about it?  A critical part of marketing and customer education is your website.  I won’t even visit professional services if they don’t have a website.  It is a necessity.  I don’t need to convince you of that.  What I do need to convince you of is that your headshot and other images that show your office and staff or your interaction with customers is also a crucial part of your online presence.  Many professionals use stock photos.  Stock photos are a great way to add photos to your website if that’s all that you have.  However, stock photos don’t really tell the story about YOU.  They don’t show customers what it’s like to enter YOUR office and interact with YOUR staff.  The personal connection of an image of you, your staff, and the office bridges the huge gap across the ocean of unknown that customers feel before they come to your office.  If they can see your face, your office, and your staff, they know what to expect when they walk in the door.  Help your customers feel comfortable before they even meet you by putting your headshot and office photos on your website.

Headshots with Dave

Dave contacted me about getting an updated headshot for his website revision.  The company working on his website gave him a deadline and we were able to meet it!  Dave wanted a professional yet casual feel for his headshot.  We used his beautiful home for the session and were able to get some environmental headshots that match the style of his work.  Another great addition to headshots and office photos is “action” photos.  These action images show you interacting with a client, customer, or patient.  They are friendly and inviting and make that personal connection once more.

I put together a Guide to Photography Gear for those of you who need some help deciding what is actually worth investing in (and what's not). The link is in my bio!

Lighting is one of those things that feels complicated when you’re starting out… but it doesn’t have to be.

At the end of the day—light is light.

You don’t need the most expensive setup to get good results. What matters more is having something reliable that you understand how to use.

Especially if you’re shooting outside… the last thing you want is a $2,000 light going down in the wind.

Start simple.
Focus on gear you can trust.
And build from there.

Curious—what lighting setup are you using right now?
My Photographer Gear Guide is linked in my bio if you’re trying to figure out what’s actually worth investing in when you’re first starting out.

Because the truth is—you don’t need everything right away.

When you’re new, it’s easy to feel like you need all the gear… but really, it comes down to a few key pieces.

A solid camera body and a really good lens will take you further than a full bag of equipment you don’t know how to use yet.

If you’re deciding where to spend your money, start there.

A 24–70mm or 70–200mm lens will cover more than you think—and give you the flexibility to shoot a wide range of sessions without overcomplicating things.

Curious—what was the first piece of gear you invested in?
‼️ 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.
