LinkedIn Headshots | Pacific Grove & Monterey Peninsula Headshot Photographer

Your LinkedIn Photo Often Creates the First Impression

For many professionals, LinkedIn is the first place a potential client, employer, referral partner, or colleague goes to learn more about you. Before they read your experience or recommendations, they see your profile photo. A professional LinkedIn headshot helps you appear confident, approachable, and current. If your photo is outdated, cropped from a casual snapshot, or simply does not represent where you are in your career today, it may be time for an update.

A Photographer Experienced with LinkedIn Headshots

Over the years, Jason Collin Photography has photographed dozens of professionals who specifically needed headshots for LinkedIn. Many clients arrive saying the same thing: they know they need a professional photo, but they are not sure how to pose, what expression works best, or how to look natural in front of the camera.

That is where experience matters. Jason works patiently and collaboratively with each client, guiding them through the entire process so the final images feel relaxed, confident, and authentic. Even people who normally feel uncomfortable being photographed often leave the session surprised at how easy and enjoyable the experience was.

Headshots for a Pacific Grove Realtor

It was my pleasure to have local Pacific Grove realtor and fellow Rotarian, Arleen, visit my photo studio for updated headshots. Anytime people I know in the local business community choose me as their photographer, I am very flattered. Arleen has a lot of personality so I knew it would not be hard to get great headshots of her! With a wardrobe change, and several background colors changes, I was able to make a variety of modern headshots for Arleen without taking up much of her very valuable time, as realtors are very busy of course! Arleen also gives back to the PG community through her volunteering with the PG Rotary Club which is where I first met her. Thank you Arleen for all you do and for choosing me as your headshot photographer!

Personal Branding Photography for Pacific Grove Artist Marlene Maier

From Photographing the Art to Photographing the Artist

It was great working with Marlene last fall making photographs of her paintings in her studio. So when she called me about this time having a branding photography shoot, I was looking forward to returning to her studio for an entirely different shoot. She had plenty of artist props and settings to get a wide variety of branding shots, but she also wanted a couple of the photos we made to be able to be cropped to a more typical headshot style. The flexibility of my lighting setup and the high resolution of my mirrorless camera allowed me to get just what she wanted in terms of both a branding photo ,and one that could be cropped to a headshot. This provided max value “two in one” photos for Marlene to use on her website. I had one idea for the final shot if Marlene was game for it. I asked if she would be willing to lie on the floor and surround herself with brushes and tubes of paint for a straight down perspective branding photo. She said sure! I turned out to be my favorite photo of the shoot. Thank you Marlene for continuing to choose me as your photographer!

Check out her creative paintings on her website!

5 Reasons Why You Need Personal Branding Photos

If you run a business, offer professional services, or create anything for a living in Pacific Grove or the Monterey Peninsula, there is a good chance you are already doing “personal branding”… even if you have never called it that. Every time someone lands on your website, reads your bio, checks your LinkedIn, or sees your profile photo next to a review, they are forming an impression in seconds.

Personal branding photography is simply the visual side of that first impression: modern, natural-looking images that show who you are, what you do, and what it feels like to work with you. Here are five practical reasons personal branding photos are one of the best upgrades you can make for your business presence.

Pebble Beach Construction Progress: Drone Video and Architectural Detail Photography

A Second Visit to a Pebble Beach Build in Progress

I returned to this stunning in progress Pebble Beach estate 6 months after my first visit to make updated drone video and aerial photos and to also get still photos of the special materials being used to define the interior of this 10,000+ square foot home. A lot has happened since August of last year when I first met Nick of Annigoni Construction on site. The most obvious addition to the exterior is the stunning copper roof! It glinted in the sunlight as the drone flew around it capturing new video. The interior had several different types of wood used in the ceilings, as well as stone on the walls. Thank you Nick for continuing to choose me as your drone pilot and photographer and I cannot wait to return to get the finished property drone video and photos!

5 Reasons Your Team Needs Professional Team Headshots

If you run a business, a practice, or a growing team in Pacific Grove, Monterey, Carmel, Pebble Beach, or Seaside, there is a good chance your website and LinkedIn pages are quietly telling a story you did not intend. It is the “everyone has a different headshot” story. Someone has a cropped vacation photo, someone has a photo from ten years ago, someone has a dark selfie from inside a car, and one person has a perfectly lit professional headshot that makes everyone else look like they work at a different company.

Team headshots fix that fast. They are one of the simplest, highest-value upgrades you can make to your business branding because they immediately create consistency, trust, and a sense of professionalism across your entire team.
