Expression is key in a headshot
Ever look at someone’s LinkedIn profile headshot and say WOW, and wonder why? There are several key elements in a great headshot – lighting, complementary background, camera positioning all play critical roles. But number one is expression – for a business headshot, it’s what gives you a feeling about the person – says whether you would like to meet or talk with them, how confident/approachable they are. It also gives you a feeling as to how genuine the look is – does the smile look posed/forced or does it look genuine.
Helping people to feel comfortable in front of the camera, providing helpful direction to them, and capturing those moments where the expression looks genuine is all part of the process. And the slightest differences in head position, smile, eyes can make a world of difference.
Take a look at the examples here – the images on the right have more energy, more focus – they tell you more about the person vs. the images on the left. The actual physical differences are slight – the visual differences and their impact are huge!

Prior to starting my photography business, I spent 40+ years in high tech marketing and sales. That experience taught me many things, including the importance of how you present yourself, your company - honesty, doing what you say you're going to do, clarity in communication to name a few, including the image you convey. This is especially important in sales, where you interact with clients and prospects regularly - you represent your company, and you definitely want to put your best foot/image forward. Kyrsten is a Senior Director of Global Accounts at Charles River Laboratories, who's mission is to improve people's lives through biotechnology. She wanted to update her headshot for LinkedIn and other purposes - her taglines on her LinkedIn profile -"Committed Client Success Champion", "Passionate Global Accounts Leader" clearly conveys her strengths and focus. Her updated headshot amplifies those strengths conveying her passion and positive energy in working with both clients and her team. She did GREAT!!!!

Tim is the Director of Business Development at The Brennan Group - a business you may not have known about (I certainly didn't). They provide businesses with government affairs strategies for businesses and non-profits. Their team is a diverse group of people with a broad range of backgrounds in law, government, business, real estate, and more. With many of their headshots either old or not professionally done, we're in the process of updating their headshots on their website for a more consistent and up to date look. See the before and after - obviously the new image conveys more of the professional look that is more representative of the level of work they do.

More on smiles in headshots - people often feel uncomfortable getting their picture taken, and it shows in an image. The photographer's job is to help you overcome those feelings and capture those moments of genuine smiles and expression, with lighting that complements your face. We'll shoot many images that wind up in the trash bin that just don't cut it. And when you get it right, the result feels right and makes you as the viewer smile.
Melissa is a marketing expert and wanted to update her headshot for LinkedIn and her business website. We worked with different angles, smiling with and without teeth, different head positions, etc. until we got the look that makes the viewer feel like "I want to meet this person". The image on the left is one that wound up in the trash bin - it's good, but not great. The image on the right - genuine smile, great energy - a person you instantly feel has the right attitude and energy to help you solve your most pressing marketing challenges.

Does your business website reflect the best image for your business?
As we exit the pandemic, businesses are starting to rev up their engines to attract new customers, as well as hire staff. If you're a business that is hiring, you likely are experiencing a tight, competitive job market. And if you're competing with other businesses, you already know how competitive things are. It's more important than ever that your marketing, particularly your website, puts your best foot forward with up to date branding, messaging, and positioning. Particularly for professional services firms, where people are the key "product", high quality, consistent headshots that amplify your messaging is key.
Cohn&Dussi, a 25 year old Boston area law firm that emphasizes a team approach for their clients, recognizes this and is in the process of updating their website along with their headshots. Smart move - no doubt indicative of the services they provide.

Waaay too many years ago - with our oldest - she always looks great in front of a camera! I had more hair then…

It's really a small world - Invictus Capital contacted me to update the headshot of Kenneth J. Witkin here in Boston, needing a session immediately. Fortunately I had an opening, they booked online and they sent specs which were pretty straightforward and easily doable, Ken was great to work with and a pro - and as we were chatting during the session we discovered that I went to high school on Long Island and was on the swim team with one of his relatives, too many years ago!

Been doing some additional work with B&W treatments. Some images work really well with B&W, conveying a different mood, feeling. Here’s some from a trip to Italy several years ago.

ow for something a bit different - Judy Cohn and her team have been providing housing and relocation services for low to moderate income tenants here in New England as they navigate the challenges associated with temporary relocation and displacement for over 30 years. During a session with Lisa, one of the project managers, we decided to try some different looks with a hand painted backdrop. Here's one of the shots that both Lisa and I liked - not sure if will make it to the website but what a look! Congrats Lisa - not too shabby for someone who's never had a professional headshot (yes, this is more of a portrait) done before!

Part of the reason I started my photography business was to be a vehicle to give back - whether it be donating portions of revenue during a limited period of time to charities, gift certificates for charity auctions, or providing free headshots for worthy causes. As part of this, I joined the Portraits for Patriots initiative, providing free headshots for our service men and women who are transitioning to civilian life after having served our country.
Chris is a former company commander and helicopter pilot who served in Afghanistan and a West Point Graduate. I had the honor of working with him recently. Chris, thank you for your service and congratulations on your new job - I have no doubt you'll have great success in your new career!

Are we having fun yet? Absolutely!
People often would rather have root canal vs. having their headshot done! Having fun should be included in your headshot session - not only does it make the session more enjoyable, you’re more likely to get better shots.
