Modern business studio headshots available right here in Pacific Grove
Many of my headshot clients are like Robert. They just need an updated headshot for their new company and are happy with the two headshots including in the starting studio headshot package I offer. It also often takes up less than 15 minutes of their time, so they are in and out not taking up much of their day. Because I have refined my technique, and have years of experience, and have setup my photography studio right here in Pacific Grove to be ideal for headshots, there is no compromise on the quality of headshots I make for busy clients. Also, since I shoot tethered and mirror the photos to a 43” 4K TV, Robert was able to see and approve his headshots in real time, so he could see exactly what he was getting. Thank you Robert for choosing me as your headshot photographer!

Headshots and Branding Photos both in Studio and Out on Location in Pacific Grove for a financial advisor
Chris contacted me about making headshots and personal branding photos for him here in Pacific Grove discussing an in studio shoot and maybe out on location too. After talking, he decided on both so after beginning in studio shooting on my new, and increasingly popular, “thunder gray” background, I took a portable set of lighting with me helped by assistant Melissa to Lover’s Point Park for some ocean background shots. In a shoot just an hour long, I made in total 11 headshots and branding photos for Chris both in studio, as well as out on location! It was a very creative and efficient shoot not taking up a lot the client’s time. Of course Chris was great in front of the camera so that helped too!

First headshot shoot in the new Pacific Grove photo studio!!
When I got a call from Ashley about a headshot session within a couple of days, normally I would say yes, no problem. But! I had just started to move into a new photo studio here in Pacific Grove, California. I did have all the lighting and equipment needed to make a headshot already in the studio, but also a ton of other stuff too scattered all over the place. So I said as long as you do not mind a bit of a mess, and the smell of fresh paint, then I am available. As you can see, you would never know what things were like by seeing the end result of Ashley’s headshots! Be sure and check out the BTS shot below to see what it looked like outside of the camera’s view. Thank you Ashley for your patience and being a great first client in my new studio!
