A Professional Headshot for the Dental Practice Owner
A Studio Headshot Session with Real Team Energy
It was a real treat to have Dr. Jamie and her team visit my photo studio in Pacific Grove, CA for team headshots and a team photo as well! I mostly have individuals come to the studio for headshots, as it is not the biggest studio in the world, but for 5 people it worked out well. So that each person could still have their own individual style shoot, it was only one person at a time in the studio, while everyone else waited out in the lobby. Then after each person was happy with the headshot we made, the rest of the team came in and was super supportive of the image made of that team member, adding reassurance and encouragement! These genuine feelings for each other showed up in one of the best team photos I have ever made (see below)! I liked it so much I put it immediately on the home page of my website in my very select home page portfolio gallery.
The energy of the shoot started with the Dr. Jamie requesting Bruno Mars for the background music of the shoot! I am so glad that Dr. Jamie joined the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce, and was immediately referred to me for headshots by the Chamber staff. Working with other local PG businesses is the best! Thank you so much to the staff of the PG Chamber for always thinking of my photography business and referring me, and thank you to Dr. Jamie for choosing me as the headshot photographer for her team! Great job everyone in front of the camera and thank you for making it one of the most fun shoots I have in my still new to me Pacific Grove photo studio!

Why Team Headshots Matter for Your Practice or Business
Professional team headshots do more than update a website — they shape how patients and clients perceive your business before they ever walk through the door. When every team member, from owner or doctor to newest staff member, is photographed with the same level of care, lighting, and attention, it sends a clear message: this is a cohesive, professional team where everyone is valued. I create team headshots in my Pacific Grove studio and on location throughout the Monterey Peninsula for dental practices, medical offices, and local businesses that want consistent, modern imagery that reflects who they truly are. If you are considering team headshots for your practice or business, I would love to help you plan a session that is efficient, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable for your entire team.

Why Team Headshots Matter for Your Practice
When every member of a dental team has the same quality professional headshot as the practice owner, it sends a clear message to patients: this is a unified, professional team. Consistent lighting, background, and framing help create a cohesive visual identity, whether the images are used on a website, patient portal, staff bios, or marketing materials. Patients often meet a practice online before they ever walk through the door, and team headshots play an important role in building trust and familiarity.
There is also a meaningful internal benefit. When team members are photographed with the same care and attention as the dentist or doctor, it reinforces that everyone is valued and included. A professional team headshot session is not just about marketing — it is also about morale, pride, and presenting a workplace where people feel seen and appreciated.

Showing Patients Who You Are as a Team
A professional group photo gives patients a clear sense of who they will be working with and helps humanize the practice. Whether it is a dentist and staff, doctor and nurses, or owner and employees, a well-lit and thoughtfully composed team photo communicates approachability, professionalism, and trust at a glance. These images are especially effective on homepages, “Meet the Team” pages, and printed materials.
Providing both color and black and white versions adds flexibility. Color images feel warm and modern, while black and white portraits emphasize expression and connection. Having both options allows a practice to choose what best fits different design needs without sacrificing consistency.

Photography That Integrates Seamlessly Into Your Brand
One of the most important parts of any headshot session is how the images are actually used. Seeing these photographs already integrated into the practice website shows how professional headshots elevate the overall look and feel of a brand. Clean, consistent portraits help a website feel polished, current, and trustworthy — especially in healthcare, where credibility and professionalism matter.
This is also where photography moves beyond just “nice images” and becomes a functional business tool. When headshots are planned with real-world usage in mind, they work seamlessly across websites, social media, directories, and marketing materials. That consistency helps practices stand out and feel established, even when they are newly opened.
Team Headshots That Reflect Your Values
Team headshots are one of the most effective ways to visually communicate what a practice or business stands for. When everyone, from the owner to the newest team member, is photographed with the same level of care and professionalism, it sends a clear message of consistency, inclusion, and respect. That consistency helps patients, clients, and customers feel confident that they will be treated with the same attention and care as every member of the team they see.
For many businesses, team headshots are also the most practical and impactful starting point for branding. They are used everywhere, from websites and online directories to social media and printed materials, and they shape first impressions long before an in-person visit. If you are looking to establish or refresh your brand with professional team headshots in Pacific Grove or across the Monterey Peninsula, I would be glad to help you create images that truly represent your team.
