Monterey Headshot Photographer for LinkedIn and Business Profiles with Everett

Headshot Photography Studio open in Pacific Grove for LinkedIn and other business profiles

Everett visited my photography studio in downtown Pacific Grove, California wanting new headshots to use on his LinkedIn profile. I listened to what he wanted in terms of background color and pose, making him one headshot on my new modern gray background in more of a profile pose and then another on a clean white background posed more straight forward. I always offer the client just what they want, and if the client just wants the two edited headshots that come with the starting price headshot session, then I make exactly that for them! Great job in front of the camera Everett and thank you for choosing me as your headshot photographer.

Branding and Marketing Photography Photo Shoot in Pacific Grove for Amara Boutique Spa

Branding and Marketing Photography Photo Shoot in Pacific Grove for Amara Boutique Spa

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 Headshot Photography for Business Professionals in the Monterey area with Robert

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! Check out his website for a local financial advisor. Thank you Chris for choosing me as your headshot and personal branding photographer!
