What Sets Michelle’s Approach Apart
How is your approach to headshots different?
Michelle takes the stress out of headshots. With a warm, relaxed atmosphere and simple coaching throughout the session, you’ll feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera — even if you normally don’t love having your photo taken.
Who do you work with?
We photograph professionals across all industries — from realtors, attorneys, and medical staff to artists, authors, and small business owners. Whether it’s for a corporate bio or a personal brand launch, we create images that reflect who you are and what you do.
Do you offer both studio and on-location sessions?
Yes. Studio sessions are great for clean, consistent backdrops. On-location sessions bring more personality and context to your images. We’ll discuss what best fits your brand, profession, and usage needs.
When and Why to Get a Professional Headshot
Why are professional headshots important?
In today’s digital-first world, your photo is often your first introduction. A great headshot builds trust, shows professionalism, and sets the tone before anyone reads a word of your bio or résumé.
When should I update my headshot?
Most people benefit from new headshots every 2–3 years — or anytime there’s a major change in your appearance, role, or branding. If your current photo no longer reflects who you are, it’s probably time.
Where are headshots typically used?
Clients use them for LinkedIn, business websites, author bios, press features, speaking engagements, team directories, and more.
How to Prepare for Your Headshot Session
What should I wear?
Choose solid colors or simple patterns that reflect your brand and personality. Avoid logos or anything too busy. We’ll talk through wardrobe options ahead of time to help you feel confident and camera-ready.
Can I change outfits during the session?
Yes — multiple outfit changes can be added to your package. If you want both casual and formal looks, we can build that into your shoot.
What about hair and makeup?
Professional grooming can elevate your photos, but it’s not required. We can recommend local hair and makeup artists if you’d like to include that service.
FAQs About Working With Michelle
How long does a headshot session take?
Sessions typically run 20-60 minutes, depending on the package and number of looks. We never rush — we take the time needed to get the right shot.
Can you photograph my whole team?
Yes. We offer individual headshots and group packages for businesses, medical practices, law firms, and more. We can come to your office or coordinate a studio session for your team.
Do you offer outdoor or lifestyle headshots?
Absolutely. If you prefer a more relaxed, natural look, we can shoot outdoors or in a work setting. These are great for creatives, personal brands, or anyone who wants to stand out from the traditional studio look.
Do I get to choose my favorite images?
Yes. After the session, you’ll receive a proof gallery to select your favorites. We’ll then deliver fully retouched, high-resolution files based on your selections.
How are images delivered?
Final images are sent digitally through a private gallery or download link. You’ll receive both print-ready and web-optimized versions for convenience.
Can I request retouching or edits?
Standard retouching is included — things like softening blemishes, adjusting lighting, and enhancing overall sharpness. We’ll keep it natural while making sure you look your best.
What if I need a headshot quickly?
Rush delivery is available on request. Just let us know your deadline, and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Do I own the rights to the headshots?
Yes — you’ll receive full usage rights for your headshots, with no watermarks or limitations on where you can use them.
