Best Headshot Consultation

“You are the best headshot photographer!” This was an actual comment by a client to me.

With every client we photograph, we have a consultation to understand how they want to be portrayed. Whether the session is at our Palo Alto studio, a company’s office or during a conference, a consultation is essential. Specifically, it helps me gain the trust of the person I will be photographing. Additionally, it give me the opportunity to explain how I achieve a confident, natural looking headshot.

“Best Headshot Photographer”

“Best Headshot Photographer”

The comment above happened at our home studio. I was explaining to the client how I photograph headshots, he said smiling, “You are the best headshot photographer!”

I replied, “I have not taken photos of you yet.”

His answer was very interesting to hear.

“I have had my headshot taken many times before at different companies I have worked. None of the photographers had such a consultation with me. You explained what I need to be aware of during the photoshoot and after. You are the best headshot photographer. Visit Our Headshots Portfolio.

An Attorney Headshot In Palo Alto.

I Am Glad I Asked

Below I tell a story that happened during an attorney photoshoot in Palo Alto. 

I had been providing headshot photography for years for a firm in both their Palo Alto and San Francisco offices. Before I start, the office manager greets me and explains why I was called to do a headshot session. Usually, there are 2 reasons, they hired a new attorney or someone needs to update their headshots. In this case, the attorney wanted a new headshot. She started by saying “I hate my headshot that another photographer took and I would like a new one.”

Here is what happened, the photographer had done a great job for lighting and the photo quality was good. But they did not instruct the attorney on how to smile. After I explained to her how I work on expressions, she worked with me. Following the photoshoot, I helped her choose and retouched her photo. Then she told me, she loved her new headshot.

#1 Headshot Photographer

As business owners do, I look at websites both locally and throughout the nation to see what other photographers post. Basically, I do this to improve my photography and marketing skills. In recent years, we have seen photographers come and go in our area hoping to make a name for themselves. I look at their websites, the quality of their work, pricing and the description of their photography work. As a professional photographer living and working in Palo Alto, has made me understand my clients and their expectations. Therefore, I promise only what I can deliver and strive to exceed their expectations.
