Tech Headshots, Work Portraits San Francisco Bay Area

My approach for professional headshots is to highlight strengths and capture individuality of people in flattering, unique customized environments during the photo session.

Location scouting and creative direction is my specialty and I assist with outfits, poses, wardrobe selection and color coordination for the photoshoot. I shoot outdoors, public spaces, client sites with natural light for approachable yet professional pictures. I seek a balance of professionalism, approachability and trust in my photos.

How Much Is A Professional Headshot? Are Professional Headshots Worth It?

Headshots help to signal your reputation, trustworthiness and professionalism. Relying on a selfie, cropped wedding photo or photo from a night out with friends may suggest you don’t take your work or career seriously.

Often times, the first interaction people have with others is seeing their LinkedIn photo, website or social media account. First impressions are everything.

Headshots can range anywhere from a few hundred dollars to five hundred dollars or more depending on editing, locations, travel, turnaround time and more.

 

Do You Need A Professional Headshot For Linkedin? 

Users with profile photos receive up to 21 times profile views than those without photos. Whether looking for jobs, identifying clients, networking or building a sales pipeline, this is a huge advantage you cannot ignore.

Even with the same outfit, different poses and backgrounds can change the look and feel of your business photos.

Seated vs standing, headshots vs half-body portraits, office building backgrounds vs city backgrounds, backgrounds and lighting can make a big difference.

If you are not sure about what you need, contact me for a consultation. I specialize in location scouting and can optimize on efficiency and density of backgrounds and locations to pack in a variety of options for your needs.

Whether you need photos for your website, press, social media or talks, I can help you craft images that you can use across platforms.

Outdoor Headshots San Francisco Bay Area; Studio vs Outdoor Headshots

Most photographers don’t want to deal with wind or elements but I have seen it all. I love shooting outdoors and that is my specialty. Studio headshots can be rather stiff and boring and look like everyone else’s. If you are looking to stand out, let’s talk.
