5 Reasons Why You Need a Modern Professional Headshot
If you’re in Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel, Pebble Beach or Seaside, and you haven’t updated your headshot in a few years—or ever—it might be time to invest in a modern professional headshot. Whether you're advancing your career, building your personal brand, or launching a new business, a high-quality headshot is more important now than ever. Here are five reasons why getting a professional headshot is one of the smartest and most impactful things you can do.
Branding Photography for Amara Spa in Pacific Grove California
Nick and Jen of Amara by the Seas Boutique Spa reached out to me via the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce member directory about a commercial photography shoot for making branding and marketing photos of all of their many spa services, the products they have for sale, and the amenities in the spa like the two sauna for couples. I always highly recommend that businesses use photos showing their actual location, actual team members, and how their services actually look on their website and in their social media and marketing materials. I call this the “better than stock photography” impact. Nothing adds authenticity to your brand than real photos of your location and services.
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!
Professional Photography of playing all 18 holes at Pebble Beach Golf Resort
Tanner contacted me about his upcoming golf trip to Pebble Beach Golf Resort and wanted photos of his entire round, along with his childhood friend, Brad, and then his other colleague wanted in on some of the photo action too! It was a great experience following them around all 18 holes of Pebble Beach on a beautiful morning. I was able to get action shots of them teeing off, chipping, and getting out of pesky sand traps and bunkers! Then there were the photos of them at the iconic Par 3 7th hole. Their caddy had 39 years of experience at Pebble! He gave me an amazing compliment saying in his 39 years there, I was the best photographer he’s ever seen in all that time! Thank you Patrick, I am flattered! And of course thank you to Tanner for choosing me as your photographer and letting me capture your great round at Pebble Beach Golf Resort!

Young Actor in studio in Pacific Grove for high impact headshots
Joseph and his mom visited my headshot photo studio in Pacific Grove, California for a fun actor headshot session shooting on both white and gray backgrounds, and with glasses on and off! Joseph did great in front of the camera switching between a big smile, neutral, and serious expressions. I enjoy working with young actors helping to be a part of the start of their acting careers! Good luck Joseph!
