Houston Business Portrait Photographer

Houston business portrait photographer, Michael Carr, CPP, recently photographed this doctor and his team here in the studio. Michael consulted with his client, over the phone before the scheduled session. The client wanted to revamp his website and overall image branding on his site, and felt that updated business portraits would help with that.

Here are the images and the end result from the in studio business portrait sessions.

The Doctor opted to have two looks for his business headshots: one with his lab coat and one look in a suit. By having these two looks, he is able to use the images for speaking engagements as well as professional bios and on marketing collateral.

He also opted to have his entire team photographed together as well as individual headshots for each staff member. Now when prospective patients visit his site, they can place a face with a name, and feel a connection with him as well as his staff.

High End Realtor Headshots: The Difference With Hiring a Professional

Upon completion of your real estate course and certification, the task of creating your marketing plan is on the horizon. A professional business portrait of yourself should be a key element of your marketing plan. This is called “Self Branding.” You are now marketing yourself and services to your current and your desired audience. Why not seek a professional photographer to help create a portrait that depicts why people should trust you over someone else in a competitive market?

A professional business portrait can separate you from the masses. During your realtor headshots session as well as during image selection phase, careful attention is needed to analyze what this image ultimately conveys about you.

Modern Casual Business Portraits

Unfortunately not all realtor headshots and business headshots are created equally.
Onsite “Cattle call sessions” are hit and miss and often times result in a negative experience. We have heard from our clients that have been through an experience of an onsite “cattle call” or the company just going with the cheapest person for the photography job, and the results of either is often times less than desirable. Save yourself time and patience and hire a professional photographer who specializes in portraiture. You have earned your credentials and now is the time to invest in yourself by demanding quality professional photography that speaks volumes about you.

Here are a few common amateur business pictures shortcomings, and what to look for:

• Harsh or flat lighting
• Improper posing, which can add weight to the person in the image
• Busy backgrounds that distract from the subject
• Clothing not adjusted
• Digital retouching is non-existent or overpowering
