The Portrait Spectrum: From Headshots to Everyday to Boudoir

When people think about booking portraits, they usually picture one of two things:

1. A headshot — clean, polished, and ready for LinkedIn.

2. A boudoir session — bold, intimate, and a full celebration of confidence.

But what if you’re looking for something in between? Something less stiff than a headshot, but not as stylized or vulnerable as boudoir?

That’s where Everyday Portraits come in.

Headshots: Professional First Impressions

Headshots are designed for business. They tell the world who you are in a professional setting, approachable, trustworthy, credible. They’re perfect for team pages, speaking engagements, LinkedIn, or business cards.

But let’s be honest: they’re not the place to show your whole personality. A headshot is a sliver of your story, valuable, yes, but not the full picture.

Boudoir: Bold, Celebratory, Transformative

On the other end of the spectrum sits boudoir. These sessions are powerful, empowering, and often life-changing. They invite you to celebrate yourself, to step into confidence, and to embrace beauty with no apologies.

Boudoir is a special kind of portrait, one that often marks milestones or turning points in life.

Everyday Portraits: The Beautiful Middle Ground

This is where Everyday Portraits live: in the balance between polished and playful, elevated and authentic.

Everyday Portraits are about capturing you as you are, not over-posed, not waiting until you’ve “lost ten pounds,” not pretending to be someone you’re not.

It’s about the subtle moments:

• A laugh that surprises you.

• A quiet glance that feels completely real.

• The way you carry yourself when you feel at ease.

These sessions are designed to quiet the negative self-talk and bring forward the truth: you are already enough, already worthy of being seen, already beautiful.

Why This Matters

For years, I’ve watched clients struggle with either/or: they book a headshot but feel it’s too impersonal. Or they think about boudoir but feel it’s “too much” for right now.

Everyday Portraits are the answer for those moments. They offer:

• A safe, guided experience where you don’t have to know what to do.

• Flattering light and natural posing that highlight your real self.

• Images you’ll love to share and treasure, professional enough to use in your life, personal enough to feel like you.

Your Next Step

Maybe you’ve been putting off booking a session because you don’t feel “ready.” Everyday Portraits were created with you in mind.

📸 Let’s capture you as you are, right now, in this season. Because this version of you is worth remembering.

Inclusive Headshots That Reflect Your Team

Not all headshots are created equal. Especially when you're working with a beautifully diverse team.

Lighting for deeper skin tones, editing that respects natural hair textures, and posing that’s thoughtful and body-aware. These aren’t just technical choices. They’re a reflection of care, skill, and respect. And not every photographer is trained to get it right.

When I photograph a team, I bring that care to every person in front of my camera. From lighting setup to final edits, I tailor the experience so everyone feels confident, seen, and represented. Just as they are.

Because your people aren’t one-size-fits-all. And their headshots shouldn’t be either.

If you're looking for inclusive, professional imagery that reflects the heart of your organization, let’s talk.

Why Professional Headshots Matter in Healthcare

📸 First impressions matter, especially in healthcare.

When patients are choosing a provider, they’re often looking for someone who feels trustworthy, competent, and approachable. A confident, professional headshot helps make that connection.

It’s more than a photo; it’s a visual handshake. And it can influence whether a potential patient reaches out or keeps scrolling.

If your team’s images don’t match the quality of your care, it might be time for a refresh.

Fall headshot sessions are now booking, let’s make your first impression count.

Discover the Power of Everyday Portraits: A Session That Celebrates the Real You

• “That’s me at my best.”

• “I don’t look like that in real life.”

• “I wish I could look this good every day.”

• “I look tired, I should’ve smiled more.”

• “I don’t like how I look in this picture.”

• “I don’t feel as confident as I look here.”

It’s about stepping into your own power and celebrating the person you’ve become, flaws and all.

How Alex LaPierre Uses Brand Photos to Strengthen Her Online Presence

In today’s world, your brand photos are more than just pictures—they’re a key part of how you connect with your audience. Alex LaPierre, the founder of North Georgia Medical Financial Recovery, does a fantastic job using her brand photos across her website, Facebook personal page, and business page to create a consistent and engaging online presence. Here’s a look at how she makes the most of her brand photos:

1. Website: Building Trust and Showing Expertise

Alex’s website, NorthGaMFR.com, is where potential clients go to learn about her services. The brand photos on her site are the perfect balance of professional and welcoming. The photos give visitors a feel for her expertise in medical financial recovery while making them feel comfortable and confident in her services. High-quality images make the website easy to navigate, and they help potential clients feel at ease when they’re seeking help with something as important as their finances.

Show potential clients what it will look like to work with you.

2. Facebook Business Page: Highlighting Professionalism and What She Offers

On her Facebook business page, Alex uses her brand photos to showcase what she does and the difference she makes. Whether she's sharing tips or celebrating client wins, her photos reflect her professionalism and the compassionate care she provides. The images on her business page help visitors understand that they’re in the right place for expert help while reinforcing her brand’s commitment to clarity and reliability.

Images can highlight your personality, unique specialities, or anything that helps your potential clients get to know you.

3. Facebook Personal Page: Connecting on a Personal Level

Alex’s personal Facebook page gives a glimpse into her life outside of business. Here, she uses her brand photos to show the real person behind the professional services. By sharing photos of herself working with clients, attending events, or just enjoying life, Alex creates a space where potential clients can get to know her on a more personal level. This connection helps clients feel like they’re working with someone they can trust—someone who genuinely cares about their success.

Showing off your “family” helps build that know/like/trust factor.

4. Instagram (Optional if applicable): Telling Her Story Through Visuals

If Alex uses Instagram, it’s a great place for her to tell her story in a more visual way. Brand photos here would let her share everything from client success stories to behind-the-scenes moments in her work. Her Instagram would reflect both her expertise and the personal touch that makes her stand out. It’s another opportunity to reinforce the trust and professionalism she offers while making her services more relatable.

Having a variety of images give you a robust digital drawer to use in various posts across all platforms.

At the end of the day, Alex LaPierre’s use of brand photos across her website, Facebook pages, and possibly Instagram helps her build a trustworthy and approachable online presence. By keeping things consistent and authentic, she connects with her audience on a deeper level, making it clear that she’s the expert people can count on when it comes to medical financial recovery.

Raise your hand if your website still has handshake photos and laptop closeups. (No shame, just a sign it’s time for an upgrade.)

You’re not generic. Your team isn’t generic. Your story sure as heck isn’t generic.

So why is your brand still using stock photos that literally anyone can buy?

Customized Stock Photos (you know what we mean by that) for brands who want to:

📌 Show actual team, clients, and spaces

📌 Build trust through real connection

📌 Stand out with scroll-stopping imagery

📌 Make marketing easier because the photos already tell the story

Whether you need a website refresh or a full content library for ads, socials, and slides, I’ve got you.

DM me “CUSTOM PHOTOS” or drop a comment if you’re ready for real.

The Confidence shift is real.

Clients often step into my studio nervous, feeling awkward, worried about what to do with their hands.

I've found it helpful to give them some gentle prompts, make them laugh, build a connection.

The "after" is always impressive! Confident, natural smile, and total connection shines through the camera.

Moving from mugshot to magnetic.

Client Review: Comfortable, Confident, Connected

Most people walk into my studio feeling a little unsure.
They say things like:
😒 “I’m not photogenic.”
😒 “I hate having my picture taken.”
😒 “This feels so awkward.”

And honestly? I get it.
✅ Headshots can feel vulnerable.

But here’s what I really aim for:
💬 A space that feels safe and welcoming
💬 Simple, clear direction (no weird “say cheese” moments)
💬 And photos that make you go, “Wait… that’s me?!”

This client said:

“Anne created a comfortable environment, gave great direction, and made the whole experience enjoyable and easy. The final headshot came out better than I could’ve hoped for.”

That’s the transformation I live for!

Not just a good photo, but a moment where you see yourself differently.
With more confidence. More ease. More truth.

If you or your team are dreading your next headshot session… maybe it’s time for a different kind of experience.

✨One where you actually feel good being seen.

3 Ways To Get Your Team Excited For Headshots!

Your Team is the Face of Your Brand - Let People See Them

Group photos aren’t just a nice-to-have—they’re a powerful tool to build trust and connection with your market.

We’ve all seen those stiff, overly polished team photos where everyone looks like they’re waiting for a dentist appointment.

But when done right? A group photo tells a story. It says: Here’s who we are. Here’s how we show up. Here’s how we work together.

When you showcase your real team, laugh lines, quirks, and all, you’re giving your audience a glimpse into your company culture. You’re showing them humans, not just titles. And that makes your brand instantly more relatable.

Use your team photo to:

📌 Introduce your people on your website or social media

📌 Reinforce your brand values visually (collaboration, approachability, innovation—you name it)

📌 Make new clients feel like they already know who they’re working with.

Your team doesn’t need to look perfect. They just need to look like themselves. Because at the end of the day, people want to work with people, not logos.

Thinking about updating your team photos this year? Let’s chat about how to create group portraits that feel true to who you are, and speak directly to the clients you want to reach.

📧 Send me a message or check out more about my approach.

Your Leadership Isn’t Just a Title. It’s a Presence

I’ve photographed CEOs, executives, and high-performing teams—and here’s what I’ve noticed:

The best leaders don’t want to perform for the camera.

They want to show up as themselves—with clarity, confidence, and presence.

👉 That’s why I approach team headshots differently.

Whether it’s the C-suite or your leadership bench, I help each person feel at ease, seen, and fully themselves—without stiff poses or copy-paste smiles.

Because a great headshot isn’t just for LinkedIn or your website. 🤦‍♀️

It’s a visual cue that says:

• “I’m approachable.”

• “I know who I am.”

• “You can trust me.”

In a world full of noise, the right image builds quiet credibility. 🎯

So if your leadership team is ready to step into stronger brand alignment, let’s talk.

This isn’t about ego. It’s about equity, presence, and professionalism.

💥 And yes—it can be done without awkwardness.

Don't just jump in front of the camera!

A great headshot always starts with relaxing and getting comfortable.

Body language speaks loud. If your body language is tense, stressed, and your internal dialogue is talking about how much you hate having your picture taken, then your headshot is shouting all that negativity and yes, the photos will not be your favorites.

In my studio we relax before getting trigger happy with the camera shutter.

Your Headshot Might Be Closer to Alignment Than You Think, Or it Might Not...

I’ve been behind the camera long enough to know: Most people think alignment is something you achieve after everything’s figured out.

But in reality, alignment often shows up in seemingly random, unexpected moments:

• When someone says, “I hate being photographed,” and then offers the most real, grounded expression of the day.

• When a client says, “I don’t know how to describe my brand,” and then casually drops a sentence that nails it.

• When they laugh through the nerves, and suddenly… they’re fully present.

• When they get a little emotional seeing their photo, not because of how polished they look, but because how it feels like them.

• When the awkwardness fades, and what’s left is honest authentic human connection.

These moments aren’t about perfection.

They’re about congruence—when how you feel on the inside matches how you’re showing up on the outside.

That’s what I aim for in every session.

Not the most “flattering” version of you.

The most aligned one.

Because when your image reflects your truth, it does more than look good. It builds trust. And the ROI on that is priceless.

Stay Ready for Big Opportunities with Your Headshot

Imagine this:
A journalist, podcast host, or event organizer reaches out asking for your headshot. (cue the 🎊) You check your files… and all you’ve got is a blurry Zoom screenshot, an old selfie, or a stiff corporate photo from five years ago.

🚨 That’s a missed opportunity. 🚨

When big moments come your way, the last thing you want is to be scrambling for a photo that actually represents who you are today.

Here’s why having an up-to-date headshot matters:

🔹 It keeps you prepared. PR opportunities, speaking gigs, and press features move fast. If someone asks for your headshot and you don’t have a high-quality option ready to go, you risk looking unprofessional—or worse, missing out altogether.

🔹 It aligns with your success. Your business has grown. Your expertise has deepened. Your old headshot might not reflect the confidence, authority, or personality you bring to the table now.

🔹 It’s a small investment with a big impact. A single, high-quality headshot can be used across multiple platforms—your website, press features, podcast interviews, and beyond. And the best part? It’s an easy upgrade with long-term benefits.

The Solution? A Variety of Headshots That Are Opportunity-Ready

✅ Polished, professional images that you’re proud to send.
✅ A variety of shots that fit different contexts (formal for press, relaxed for personal branding, dynamic for social media).
✅ Headshots that reflects who you are today, not who you were years ago.

If a big opportunity came your way tomorrow, would your headshot do you justice? If not, it might be time for a refresh.

The “Invisible” Places Your Headshot Matters

You updated your LinkedIn headshot. That’s great!
But here’s the problem: your headshot doesn’t live only on LinkedIn.

🚨 If you’re only thinking about one platform, you’re missing key opportunities to generate impact with your professional headshots. 🚨

Where are those often overlooked places where your business headshot really matters? And more importantly, how using the wrong one (or not having one at all) could be working against you.

In part 1, we exposed three problems with using the same headshot photo in all the places and all the spaces. Check that out here.

In this post, you’ll see how much greater the impact is (in a good way) when you use headshots from the same session but with different poses, different wardrobe, and a different vibe across multiple platforms. A strategic, well-managed approach ensures that your professional image is always working for you.

🔹 Email Signatures:

You send dozens (maybe hundreds) of emails every week. A warm, inviting headshot in your signature makes your messages feel more personal and helps people remember you—not just your name. (If your email signature still has an old logo or—worse—nothing at all, this is your sign to update it.)

Your email signature is slightly different from your LinkedIn professional photo. You’re in an electronic conversation, so your business headshot here should be a bit more approachable while still reflecting your position and expertise.

🔹 Video Thumbnails:

Whether it’s a webinar, a YouTube video, or a speaking engagement promo, your video headshot is often the first impression people get. If it’s the same one as your other platforms, you could lose that relatable factor.

Remember, video is a conversation, and most likely, you’re sharing valuable information that your market needs in order to be successful. Keep them engaged by varying the pose just enough to show your enthusiasm and credibility. Otherwise, you could be turning people away before they even press play.

🔹 Newsletters:

People connect with people. A newsletter is a great place to use a different crop of your professional headshot. Being intentional in how you present yourself across platforms ensures consistency while keeping things fresh, recognizable, and aligned with your brand’s energy. A simple adjustment will enhance engagement and build trust with your audience.

To Wrap It Up:

Headshot variations that are intentional keep you fresh with your audience.

✅ A headshot that feels approachable and professional for email signatures.
✅ A well-executed, brand-aligned headshot for video thumbnails.
✅ A 3/4 length photo that matches your brand’s energy for newsletters.

Your headshot shouldn’t just be something you have—it should be something that works for you.

So, where’s the last place you saw your headshot? Where else are you using that same image?

Don’t just search Atlanta headshot photographers. Partner with an experienced professional and see how easy it can be!

Your Headshot Should Work for You (Not Just Exist Online)

[part1]

Have you ever searched for “headshots near me” with the goal of having a quick headshot update? 🤷‍♀️

Let’s talk about a common mistake business owners make with their headshots, using the same professional headshot photo literally everywhere.

It might seem like a smart move for time ⏰ and consistency 🎯, but there’s a big hidden loss factor.

🚨 Different platforms serve different purposes, but the same headshot everywhere sends the same message—no matter the context. 🚨

Because the content photography is different for different platforms, the headshot should be congruent and authentic to that platform.

Here’s how using the same headshot photo on all platforms can work against you:

🔹 LinkedIn Profile: This is often the first impression for potential clients, partners, or recruiters. Your photo needs to be professional, polished, and aligned with your industry. But if you’re using the same friendly, casual headshot from Instagram, it might not convey the right level of authority for your more corporate image.

🔹 Website About Page: This is where people go to connect with you and your story. If you’re still using a formal, stiff corporate headshot here, you might come across as unapproachable rather than relatable. A good brand photo session will include a wardrobe change that reflects the real you, yet be a great headshot for this purpose.

🔹 Social Media Posts: Your audience craves variety. If every post features the same headshot, your brand can start to feel stale or overly curated. Remember social media is about engagement, having different expressions, angles, and settings helps keep things fresh and dynamic. Make sure your brand photographer includes a wide variety of poses, making your pictures look professional and authentic.

Check out how Melanie Lambert, Managing Director at Just Write Grants used her Brand Headshots on LinkedIn and her website About page. She leveled up and stands out!

The Bottom Line? Have a variety of headshots that work with your brand.

✅ A polished, confident headshot for LinkedIn.
✅ A warm, welcoming image for your website.
✅ A mix of expressive, candid shots for social media.

Remember, this isn’t about taking random photos. These are brand photos. It’s about having an intentional set of images that help you show up effectively wherever your brand needs to be.

So, if you’re still using the same headshot across all platforms, it might be time for a refresh.

Which platform do you think your headshot works best for, and which one might need an upgrade?

Who Owns Your Brand Photos?

When you hire a photographer for a brand photo shoot you’re also entering into an agreement about how those images can (& can’t) be used.

It’s not as complicated as it sounds.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. Who Owns the Photos? Even though you paid, the headshot photographer usually owns the copyright. The photos are their creative work. What you’re buying is a license to use the images in specific ways: on your website, social media, or in digital and printed marketing materials.

2. What Can You Do With Them? Think of it like renting a car; you can drive it, but only where and how the agreement says. Want to use the photos in a big advertising campaign? Post them on every platform? No problem, simply discuss & include in your license.

Pro Tip: Communication upfront is always best practice.

3. Can You Edit Them? Many professional headshot photographers have rules about image editing. Slapping an Instagram filter on a professionally edited photo might sound harmless, but it can alter the vision your photographer worked hard to create. Most photographers are happy to accommodate tweaks when asked.

Pro Tip: Don’t do it and expect the photographer to reach out politely. Ask first.

4. Why Does This Matter? Clear agreements protect everyone. You knowing exactly how you can use your photos, and your photographer ensures their work isn’t misused. These agreements make sure your photos stay polished and on-brand.

The bottom line: Talking about ownership and usage rights might feel a bit “legalese,” but it’s essential for getting the most out of your brand photos. A good photographer will walk you through it all, making sure you’re set up for success.

We always strive to make your business photo shoot a home run success! From the inquiry email or phone call, we strive to know your vision and work to get you the best results to achieve your goals.

Questions? Just ask!

Smart Strategies to Maximize Your Brand Photography 💵 Budget 💵

Thinking about professional brand photos but worried about the costs?
You’re not alone.

The good news is that with the right approach, you can achieve high quality brand images without blowing your budget. Here are some practical tips to help you align your goals, resources, and expectations:

1️⃣ Know What You Need

Before diving into a brand shoot, clarify your deliverables.

Are you looking for headshots, lifestyle images, product photography, or a mix of all three? Being specific ensures you get exactly what your business needs and keeps unnecessary costs at bay.

2️⃣ Consider Tiered Packages

Photographers often offer a range of pricing options.

Smaller packages with fewer deliverables can be a great choice if you’re just starting or working with a tight budget. Larger packages might provide better long-term value if you’re looking for a variety of shots.

3️⃣ Be Resourceful with Locations

Venues can quickly drive up costs.

Look for free or low-cost locations, such as local parks, coworking spaces, or even your workplace. Many photographers are experienced in scouting spots that deliver the right vibe without extra expense.

4️⃣ Plan for Versatility

Choose a session setup that lets you capture multiple types of photos (like headshots, team images, and action shots) in one go. This maximizes the value of your session and gives you a diverse range of visuals to use across platforms.

5️⃣ DIY Where You Can

From props to team coordination, there are ways to contribute to the shoot that save time and money. Bringing your own materials or organizing participants helps the photographer focus on the creative aspects of the session.

6️⃣ Ask About Payment Plans

If upfront costs feel like a stretch, some photographers offer payment plans. These options can make professional photos accessible while spreading out the financial impact.

7️⃣ Prep for Success

Make the most of your session by preparing ahead of time. Collaborate with your photographer on mood boards, outfit ideas, and branding concepts so every shot aligns with your goals, without the need for costly last-minute changes.

Budgeting for brand photography doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By combining smart planning with open communication, you can create impactful visuals that fit your business and your budget.

What do I do with those Brand Photos?

Let’s get real! Your brand photos (headshots, behind-the-scenes moments, customer experiences, and those awesome personal storylines) are not just “nice-to-haves.” They’re essential tools for making your brand memorable, relatable, and authentic.

Here are 10 creative ways to use your brand photos that actually work:

1️⃣ Website Headers: Start strong! 💪 Use team headshots or workspace shots for polished first impressions.

2️⃣ Social Media: Take your audience behind the scenes or share personal stories. People connect with people, not just logos. 🎯

3️⃣ Emails That Feel Personal: Whether in newsletters or email signatures, headshots build trust and familiarity. 🤝

4️⃣ Blog Content: Photos of your process or team make your posts more engaging and human. 🎩

5️⃣ Digital Ads: Authentic brand visuals can cut through the noise and grab attention. 📣

And for print? Your photos can shine here too:

6️⃣ Business Cards: Add a face to your name—because who remembers generic cards? 💁🏻‍♂️

7️⃣ Brochures: Use custom imagery to create credibility and showcase your brand’s vibe. 📝

8️⃣ Magazine Features: Control the narrative by providing your own high-quality visuals. 📸

9️⃣ Event Collateral: Banners, standees, or handouts—they all pop with on-brand imagery. 💥

🔟 Seasonal Promotions: Use festive or themed photos for timely campaigns. 🎉

💡 Pro Tip: Think of your brand photos as storytellers. When done right, they spark connections and make your audience feel something, whether it’s inspiration, trust, or just that warm, fuzzy “this brand gets me” moment.

How are you using your brand photos right now? Let’s swap ideas in the comments.👇

Posing with Purpose

It’s more than just where to put your hands or how to angle your body; it’s about making sure every image reflects your best self and the values of your brand. 

Here are 3 ways I help clients feel confident and aligned with their #brandvalues with the posing process:

1. Explore What You Love (and Don’t Love)

Posing starts with understanding how you feel about your body. 

Maybe there are angles or features you love highlighting, or perhaps there are things you’d rather downplay. There’s no “right” way to pose, but comfort and confidence show through in every photo, which in turn connects with your audience.

2. Posing That Reflects Brand Values

How do you want people to feel when they see your photos? 

Words like “bold,” “approachable,” or “innovative” often come up during discovery calls. Those adjectives are essential for posing.

For example, if your brand is about approachability, an open, relaxed postures will feel welcoming. To show authority and expertise, we might go for stronger stances with direct eye contact.

3. The Power of Nonverbal Language

#BodyLanguage is a universal communicator, and your audience picks up on it instantly. 

Small adjustments, like the tilt of your head, the placement of your hands, or even your posture, can shift the energy of a photo.

Ultimately, posing is not a performance. It's part of brand messaging. 

What’s your biggest challenge with posing for brand photos?
