Why put a headshot on your company website?

It’s my job to investigate and research websites and evaluate the headshots posted as The Woodlands headshot photographer.  I do it every time I visit a new website – I go to the “meet the team” or “about us” page and check out the people.  I know many of you do the same thing.  People do business with people!  It can be any website from my daughter’s horse farm to the pediatric dentist to the financial planner.  It is my opinion that every company should have a simple, effective website that is easy for customers to navigate and find the information that they’re looking for.  And every website should have at least the owner and management team pictured on the website.  It’s helpful if there are also photos of the staff who will be interacting with customers on a routine basis.  When headshots are posted on a website, potential clients have essentially “met” you before they even walk through your door.  There is a level of comfort and familiarity that breeds confidence.

Stutman Law’s newest lawyer, Michele

Doesn’t it feel like you already know Michele?  If I didn’t know her, I would feel very comfortable (after seeing her headshot) sitting down with her to discuss my legal needs.  Michele is the newest lawyer with Stutman Law in the Houston office.  She actually worked with Rick and Cindy years ago and is rejoining their team after an extended leave to be with her children (go Michele)!  The Stutman Law website features headshots for each of their attorneys.  Once you click on a thumbnail image of an attorney, you are taken to a new page with a larger photo and bio for that person.  It’s a great layout – first seeing the thumbnail and then getting a better sense of surroundings and who they are by seeing the entire photo.  Stutman law truly embraces the idea that posting headshots on your website is a great way to meet potential clients before they ever step into your office!

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.
