Karen L Richard Photography I create outstanding headshots that are guaranteed to get you noticed and stop the scroll!

I’m Karen Richard, and I'm a specialist Headshot and Corporate Branding photographer. I help companies and individuals engage with their audiences and deliver their messages with attention grabbing headshots and branding imagery. With more than two decades of marketing experience in the Corporate world, I understand the importance of delivering regular and consistent messages to your audience and

I can provide help and guidance to ensure your corporate branding images have the desired impact on your business. My studio is located in Franklin TN, about 25 minutes drive from downtown Nashville close to I-65, I-840 and Highway 31. I can also bring my studio to you and deliver the same quality of photography at your office or another location of your choice for up to 100 staff in a day. WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

📷 Create the Perfect First Impression

LinkedIn profiles with photos get 21 times more views and 36 times more messages! An attention grabbing headshot is a must to stop your potential customers scrolling to the next profile in the feed. Having great headshots for everyone in your organization helps to humanize your brand and allows your customers to put a face to a name, increasing trust and confidence in your business and its services.

📷 Help You Win More Business

A consistent message is crucial for creating brand awareness as it takes a combination of time and repetition for customers to remember your company. Having a library of your own images allows you to develop brand awareness and marketing strategies that harness the power of social media to reach a wider audience. High quality images that feature you, your employees, your premises, and your products builds trust and desire in a way that stock images simply can’t do, and using your own optimally keyworded images also helps to improve your business’s Google ranking.

"I absolutely love my new headshot! Karen made the whole process so easy and comfortable—it didn’t feel stiff or awkward at all. She has a great eye and such a calm, reassuring presence behind the camera. I’m thrilled with how the photo turned out and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, stress-free experience."

Should I wear my glasses for my headshot? 👓

If you usually wear them the answer is absolutely! If you wear your glasses most of the time, your clients may not immediately recognize you without them!

In fact, if you are a glasses wearer I encourage you to bring more than one pair as it is a great way to switch up your look and give you more variety to choose from.

Glasses can present a challenge; the lenses may reflect my studio lights, especially if they do not have an anti-glare coating.

Sometimes it is possible to eliminate the glare by repositioning my lights or tilting the frames very slightly, but if there is still glare present I can make it considerably less noticeable when I edit the images.

I personally don’t advocate popping the lenses out for your shoot as it can look a little unnatural removing the lens distortion, but do make sure your lenses are nice and clean as the grease in our fingerprints becomes very noticeable under studio lighting, and I have lens cleaner and cloths so we can be sure they are camera ready!

Thomas came in to see me for updated headshots recently, and as you can see, he nailed it both with and without his specs!

If you are coming in to see me for an updated business headshot, it could also be the perfect opportunity to grab something a little less formal too!

A jacket and collared shirt might be the best option for LinkedIn, and your bio on the corporate website.

But something a little more casual and relaxed could be perfect for your podcast, as well as your company Intranet, Microsoft Teams, internal newsletters, Facebook and other social media!

Brian did exactly that!

One of the biggest compliments anyone can pay me as a photographer, is to refer their friends and family to me!

When someone who has experienced my services recommends me to others, they are in effect acting as a brand ambassador for my business.

Word of mouth referrals are much more powerful than any form of marketing and advertising - and best of all they cost nothing (apart from making sure I have happy clients in the first place!)

Jackie was referred to me by her coworker Dave who came to me for his headshots recently. And she brought along some lovely colorful outfits that definitely suit her vibrant personality too!

If you’ve received a great experience from a small business - tell your friends!

Does your company recruit veterans or those transitioning out of the military?

If so, and you have an office in the Greater Nashville region or a remote workforce, I would really appreciate the name and info for whoever is responsible for this.

I’d also love to have the details of anyone that provide resources to military members that could potentially ease the transition to a civilian career - for instance, no-cost/special rates for resume writing services etc.

I am planning to create a list of local resources to provide to my Portraits For Patriots clients.

I’ve learned there are plenty of resources out there, but some of them seem to be well kept secrets, and there doesn’t appear to be a comprehensive directory for this area.

I’d like to rectify that, unless someone can point me in the direction of one that already exists.

Portraits of Patriots is a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization with a mission is to ensure that everyone that comes through the program benefits from a high quality professional headshot to aid their transition.

I get to meet some really talented people who have valuable skills and experience ready to bring to corporate life!

Like Trevon here, who has recently started his transition out of the US Army!

You are a leader, but do you look like one on LinkedIn?

Does your profile photo look professional?

✅ Does it exude confidence?
✅ Competence?
✅ Approachability?

We are all judged on the first impression we give, so if you’re looking to make a strong first impression on LinkedIn then your headshot should say all of these things.

After all if we don’t look the part, then other people may not believe we are up to the role!

Ben is Vice President, Safety and Security at LifePoint Health, and I’m sure you’ll agree he looks the part!

Is your headshot sending out all the right messages?

I shoot most of my headshots on a white or grey background.

But if you would like something a little different, I have a selection of digital backgrounds you can choose from.

Which is exactly what Maya did!

Is your headshot due a refresh? If it is, I’d love to chat!

If you've followed my work for a while, you've no doubt noticed I am a fan of big smiles!

A smile, big or small makes us look friendly and approachable, so an authentic looking smiling headshot is perfect if you are in sales, and most other customer facing roles.

But a big smile may not be appropriate for every circumstance, and if you work in a senior finance role, corporate security, or are say a prosecutor, your may want to have a more stoic expression in your headshot.

Nader is a negotiator and needed his headshot to convey strength and determination. I reckon he nailed it, don't you?

Does your headshot convey the right message?

“Karen is a magician behind the camera. I needed an updated bio photo with a quick turnaround. Her in home studio is very comfortable and welcoming and she takes the time to make the photos turn out spectacular and had the final images sent to me within 2 days. Highly recommend!”

It’s always a pleasure to see my regular corporate clients growing their businesses!

And Best-in-Class Technology and Cybersecurity experts ImageQuest LLC, is definitely one of my favorites!

Why? Because I’ve been working with their team for 4 years now, so visiting their office really does feel like hanging out with friends!

It also means their team all has lovely consistent headshots whether I shot them at their offices or in my studio.

Showcasing their latest recruits demonstrates ImageQuest’s commitment to investing in its people, and is also a great way to make sure new starters feel valued and part of the team!
