Headshots for the Business Professional

If you are just starting out in the business world, you will need a professional looking photo to represent yourself online, in print, and in advertising. You want to show the world that you are professional, and a respectable businessman. This is not the time to skimp on your budget either. A snapshot of you at your desk under fluorescent lights is not the way to prove your professionalism. You need to take the time to schedule a professional photo session to get you a variety of head shots you can use for promoting your business.

The gentleman I photographed during this session, is just starting his own accounting business, and was in need of a variety of different photos he could use for promoting his business. I instructed him to bring a variety of wardrobe options so we could achieve a wider range of options that didn't all look like they were cookie cutter shots from a discount store studio. When he arrived, he had a half dozen options to change into through the course of our session. A variety of colored shirts and ties, and two suits: a black suit and a lighter earth-tone suit.

Kimi's Maternity Progression at 30 Weeks

17 weeks through 30 weeks

I have been following Kimi's pregnancy since she was 17 weeks along, and still barely showing. We have had four progressive sessions, each of them matching wardrobe, poses, and lighting, so that I can edit a seamless sequence like the one shown above. Our first session took the longest of them all because it was when we were deciding which outfits would work with which backgrounds, and just how many variations of each we wanted to have. All of our following sessions have gone much smoother and flow from one setup into the next without much fumbling and wondering if we're doing the right thing

The consistency is good for matching session to session, but can become tedious when that's all you are photographing. The funnest part of our progression is when our repetitive poses are complete and we have a chance to try new ideas and experiment with poses, wardrobe and props. I like to collaborate with my subjects to come up with ideas that we both agree would work for their personalities, and of course are flattering to them.

Kimi has been great all around to have as a model for her pregnancy. She brought many of her own outfits to use, but also utilizes the props and wardrobe I have on hand. I like to have a variety of fabric, cute tops and props to cater to any of my maternity subjects. Many of these props are also the same I use for beauty and boudoir photography sessions as well.
