Vivian is a long time networking friend going back to my very first days here in Albuquerque restarting the photo business after I moved from Florida. She recently recommended me to be the headshot photographer for her employer, HUB International. That was a lot of headshots and I really appreciated that referral, so as a thank you to Vivian, I offered for her to come to the JCP Home Studio to get a free headshot. That shoot was just yesterday and she is already using it on her LinkedIn profile! Thank you very much Vivian for the referral and for all you do for the local ABQ business community outside of your actual job.
Getting up early to make headshots of ranchers and farmers
Bringing my mobile headshot studio setup out at 8am on a Saturday morning to a hotel in Albuquerque, New Mexico to make team headshots is not something I had ever done before, but then these were not the usual headshot clients. I had the opportunity to make headshots for the representatives of the New Mexico Farm & Livestock Bureau who came to Albuquerque from all over the state. Since they were only meeting early on Saturday morning, that’s the only time there was to make the headshots just before the meeting really got started. Thank you Theresa and everyone at NMLB for organizing everything and choosing me as your team headshot photographer.
Adapting to make team headshots just like the client wanted in ABQ
Coordinating with Makayla of First American Title to make team headshots at her office in Albuquerque, New Mexico went smoothly as more and more ABQ businesses are choosing to get team headshots and I am learning more on what to prep the client on regarding the on location headshot shoot that can take several hours. However, variables still come up, like on the day of the shoot changing from a standard headshot to a waist up headshot, with the little problem of there nearly not being enough physical space in the room we were shooting in to make such a shot. As a professional photographer adaptability to the unexpected is a key skill to have. There was a table up against a wall behind me that just could not be moved, so everyone one of these headshots you see here was made with me sitting on the table all the way against the far back wall to be able to fit in the person from the waist up! Sometimes in photography, every last inch of space counts. Thank you Makayla for organizing this shoot and helping it to go smoothly, even with me sitting on a table!
Nohelia visited the JCP Home Studio coming all the way from Santa Fe for her actor headshot photo session! For one photo she donned her leather jacket with a serious expression in the hopes of getting a certain type of part. Throughout the session we changed background colors and expressions so that even in just a relatively short headshot session, she had a good variety of headshots to use and catch the attention of casting directors around New Mexico. Thank ou Nohelia for choosing me as your actor headshot photographer and for the 5-star Google Review!
Updated commercial portraits and headshots in Albuquerque
Jacquelyn of Shaw Skin Clinic in Albuquerque, New Mexico contacted me about getting updated headshots for her team as well as new commercial portraits featuring a new team member. I always highly recommend to business owners to have professional commercial portraits and actions shots made of your actual team doing the actual service your business does rather than using stock photography. The difference in impact is not even comparable. Take these commercial portraits I made for Jacquelyn for example. Instead of meaningless stock images, you are seeing the actual skincare professional in the actual setting you will be getting the treatment in. I believe this really helps a client/customer/patient choose your business because they will already get to see who they will be working with, and what environment they will be in. Plus, I have also long been saying every member of your team should have the same professional headshot as everyone else, so that clients/customers/patients know that each member of the team is valued the same as even the owner of the business. Thank you Jacquelyn for continuing to choose me as your photographer and for another fun and creative shoot!
Business with networking friends for team headshots in Albuquerque
In my 5 years living in Albuquerque, I have made a lot of networking friends and many of them have chosen me as their headshot photographer. I am especially thankful to networking friend Vivian, whom I first made a headshot for several years ago when we were on an ambassador committee together, because not only did she choose me as her headshot photographer, but also for 24 of her HUB International colleagues! Thank you for recommending me Vivian! It was great to be the team headshot photographer for HUB International and to get to see you again.
