Meet Jackie with Gibson & Associates

Jackie came into our premier studio in Historic Downtown Columbia for a headshot refresh.

We spent most of the session laughing. In her words, “This is so much fun, and I didn’t know you were this funny.”

That’s how a headshot session should feel. When you’re relaxed and having a good time, it shows in the images.

Due for a refresh of your own? Call 803.237.2536 or send us a message.

Throwback to a great morning with the team at City Dentistry.

We brought the studio to their office and photographed all nine members of their staff on site. No one had to leave the practice or rearrange their schedule.

A dental office runs on trust, and patients often meet the team online before they ever walk through the door. Consistent, professional headshots help make that first impression a good one.

Thank you, Soda City Dentistry, for having us.

Welcome back to the civilian sector, Kevin.

Kevin stopped by our studio in Historic Downtown Columbia through for Patriots as he makes the transition from the military back into civilian life.

A new chapter calls for a headshot that shows who you are now. As a veteran myself, sessions like this one mean a lot.

Thank you for your service, Kevin. We wish you the best in what comes next.

What does a day of event photography look like with ESNTL Headshots? Two events, one camera bag, and a lot of great moments.

We started the day at the Italian Festival, capturing the people and the atmosphere of a festival that brings the community together.

Then we packed up and headed to the School District 5 Foundation’s Groovin For Good costume gala, benefiting District 5 students and educators. Think 70s and 80s costumes, a best costume contest, and yes, a dance off.

Two very different events, same goal. Capture the moments people will want to look back on.

Anna came into our studio in Historic Downtown Columbia for a new headshot, and she was a pleasure from start to finish. Polite, friendly, and easy to work with.

She was also more than willing to let me try some new techniques I had been working on. Clients like Anna help us keep growing, and her images came out great.

Thank you, Anna, for trusting us with your new headshot.

Another great moment from our on location session with Soda City Dentistry in Cayce!

While updating their team headshots for their media presence, we had a great conversation with one of their staff members about the work she does for the practice.

That’s one of our favorite parts of every session. Getting to know the person in front of the camera shows up in the final image.

Everyone on the team was so nice and professional. It was a pleasure working with them.

We had a great time on location with the team at Soda City Dentistry in Cayce!

They were updating their team headshots to refresh their media presence, so we brought the studio right to their office.

Everyone was so friendly and accommodating, which made it an easy day for all of us.

One team member told us, “I don’t like my picture taken.” Moments later, it was “I really like these pictures!” That’s our favorite kind of turnaround.

Booked a headshot session? Here’s how to get your skin camera ready.

Drink extra water for a few days before your session. Hydrated skin looks smoother on camera.

Moisturize the night before and the morning of. Skip anything heavy or shiny, since shine reflects the lights.

Don’t try a new skin care product, facial, or peel within a week of your session. Something new can cause redness or a breakout right when you don’t want it.

Get a full night’s sleep, and go easy on salt and alcohol the night before. Both help keep puffiness down.

Guys, shave the night before or early that morning so any redness has time to settle.

Woke up with a breakout anyway? Don’t stress. Every image we deliver is retouched, so small blemishes are taken care of.

Questions about getting ready? Call us at 803-237-2536 or send us a message.

Don’t judge the truck!

This is what a three session day looks like at ESNTL Headshots. Lights, backdrops, stands, and cameras for every stop, all packed in and ready to go.

It might look like a mess, but every piece has a job. When I show up at your office, I bring the whole studio with me so your team gets the same quality they’d get on Calhoun Street.

Want the studio to come to you? Call us at 803-237-2536 or send us a message to book your team’s session.
