Headshots for a new business

Joanne needed some updated images for her business, that could be used on her website. Like most women, it had been a few years since she last did professional photos.

She booked in an executive women’s session, so that she could get a range of different images.

When she arrived in the studio, our hair and makeup artist discussed with her the look that she preferred. Helen, our hair and makeup artist is amazing at getting the look just right for our clients.She understands that no all women wear makeup everyday, and is able to create a perfect natural look.

Joanne had brought a great range of clothes with her, so we could create some really great variety in the images. From my formal to more casual look. I recommend taking the time to get a range of different photos during the session. It means that the next time you need a professional photo for a presentation or talk that you are doing, you will have a number of options you can use.

These are are top reasons for getting professional headshots when you are starting a new business.

Having high quality headshots will help you convey professionalism and competence. They give potential clients and customers a positive first impression of your business.

  1. Brand Identity: Headshots can be an essential element of your brand identity. They can help you establish a consistent and recognizable image that reflects your business values and personality.

  2. Trust and Credibility: People are more likely to trust a business with a human face behind it. Having professional headshots on your website and marketing materials can build trust and credibility with your audience.

  3. Personal Connection: A professional headshot allows potential clients to connect with you on a personal level. It humanizes your business and can help you build a stronger connection with your target audience.

  4. Social Media and Online Presence: In today's digital world, your online presence is crucial. High-quality headshots can be used on your website, LinkedIn profile, social media, and other online platforms, helping you stand out in a professional and polished way.

  5. Marketing and Advertising: Headshots can be used in marketing materials, such as brochures, flyers, and advertisements, to promote your business. They can also be featured in press releases and media coverage.

  6. First Impressions: As the saying goes, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." Having professional headshots can ensure that your first impression is a strong and positive one.

Professional headshots can enhance your business image, build trust with your audience, and support your branding efforts. They are an investment in your business's success and can make a significant difference in how you are perceived by potential clients and partners.

Pure Magic International Training Solutions - Image refresh

Caryn, director at Pure Magic International Training Solutions already had a professional photo which was fine but it was somewhat out of date.
Part of presenting a professional image is having current photos of the staff that reflect the times and also the appearance of the individuals.
Due to the variety of Caryn's work and her international speaking commitments we created a few different looks.

Executive portrait - glasses or no glasses?

We have been photographing the management team of  the Bureau of Health for some time now. Recently a Dr. Jean-Frederic Levesque was appointed as the new Chief Executive and came to us for his corporate photo.

This ensures that his images matches the rest of the team.

As Dr. Levesque only wears his glasses sometime we decided to do some photos with and without glasses and let him choose his favorite image afterwards.

So should you have your photo taken with or without glasses? It's really a matter of personal choice.  If you think people will recognize you without glasses then go ahead and try it without them. on the other hand if you always wear glasses we suggest you also wear them for the photoshoot.

Photographing with glasses can be tricky as there are reflections and glasses can cause some distortions. However we have a lot of experience and always ensure we find the best angle for you whether you are wearing glasses or not.

A different view, 3/4 length portrait

Typically we do a headshot which is head and shoulders or a full length portrait. But sometimes a 3/4 length portrait works even better. 

Angela , the director at Health Practice Solutions came to the studio to get some updated portraits for her website and bio. She brought a few different outfits with her to get a variety of looks and we quickly found that a 3/4 length portrait suited her best.

Angela has a great smile and we believe the images convey her drive and energy. .
