Business Headshots
Corporate Portrait Photography
I am often approached to shoot executive portraits. This month I had the privilege of going to beautiful Santa Monica, and taking a number of headshots for a company called Coda Automotive.
Even though we used studio lighting, I was able to utilize their location to bring in some color and texture into the backgroud rather than using a simple backdrop. You wouldn’t know it, but these two powerful executives are quite the characters!

Choosing Headshot Photographers
Dan here was an old client. He decided he was in the market for new headshots again. For some reason or another, he assumed I was out of his price range.
He was going to choose a “cheaper” photographer.
I was deeply hurt that he would go and cheat on me without even having a discussion. Men. Isn’t that so typical? So I decided to open op the dialogue myself. Find out what was troubling Dan and why he was willing to stray so easily. Turns out it wasn’t me, it was him (it’s always them-the men). Come to find out I am in his price range. What Dan didn’t realize is that as a returning client, he was entitled to some perks! Hopefully most photographers reward loyalty the same way I do.
Lesson here is, communicate with the photographer you were happy with in the past. You never know the options available to you!

Corporate Headshots
Recently I was approached by Karen and Debra to take their corporate headshots. They are both defense attorneys starting to work together and combining forces, so to speak. I love being asked to photograph the “real thing” every once in a while even though photographing non actors can sometimes be a challenge. Most people aren’t used to having their pictures taken professionally. Actors are used to “acting” like lawyers in front of the camera but getting lawyers not to act and just be…well that can be tricky! Our objective here was to convey a sense of strength for these gals. I think these two strong women did a great job of combining warmth with a sense of “don’t mess with me”!
