LinkedIn Profile
LinkedIn headshots that get you noticed
A strong LinkedIn profile photo is often your first impression with recruiters, clients, and colleagues. As a professional headshot photographer in Phoenix, AZ, I create polished business headshots that convey competence and approachability in equal measure. The neutral background keeps all attention on your face, while careful lighting brings out your best features without looking over-processed. Whether you're job hunting, building your network, or establishing thought leadership, your LinkedIn headshot needs to look current, confident, and authentically you. Most clients use these images across multiple platforms—company websites, professional directories, email signatures, and conference bios. During your session, we'll capture a range of expressions so you can choose the one that best represents how you want to be perceived professionally.
Team Photo
Cohesive team photography builds brand trust
When every team member's headshot shares the same lighting, background, and style, your website and marketing materials look polished and intentional. Inconsistent photos—taken at different times with different photographers—signal disorganization. I photograph teams of all sizes across the Phoenix metropolitan area, from law firms and financial advisors to tech startups and healthcare practices. On-location sessions at your office mean zero disruption to your workday. I bring professional lighting equipment and portable backdrops, so each team member gets studio-quality business headshots without leaving the building. For larger teams, I set up an efficient workflow where each person spends just 10–15 minutes in front of the camera. The result is a cohesive set of professional portraits that strengthen your brand presence across every touchpoint.
Personal Branding Photography
Personal branding goes beyond headshots
Your personal brand needs more than a single headshot. Full-body and three-quarter portraits in styled outfits tell a richer story about who you are and how you work. As a professional portrait photographer in Phoenix, I help entrepreneurs, speakers, coaches, and consultants build a complete visual identity. During a branding session, we explore multiple looks, settings, and poses—giving you a library of images for your website hero section, social media content, podcast covers, speaking engagement profiles, and print materials. The goal is versatility: images that work everywhere your brand shows up. Clients often tell me these sessions are the first time their photos actually matched the quality of their work. If you're serious about standing out in a crowded market, personal branding photography is the investment that keeps paying off across every platform and touchpoint.
Headshots for Creatives
Why creative professionals need versatile headshots
Creative professionals—coaches, consultants, designers, writers, and entrepreneurs—need headshots that feel approachable without sacrificing professionalism. This warmer style uses softer lighting and muted backgrounds to create a sense of connection, making you look like someone people actually want to work with. It's the sweet spot between corporate rigidity and casual selfies. Many of my clients in the Phoenix area use these portraits across LinkedIn, their coaching websites, podcast graphics, and networking profiles. A great professional headshot photographer understands that creatives need flexibility—images that feel equally at home on a book jacket, a conference speaker page, or an Instagram bio. During your session, we'll experiment with different expressions and angles to give you options that reflect the different facets of your professional life.
Business Portraits
Business portraits with personality
Not every professional situation calls for a tight headshot. Three-quarter and full-body business portraits give you room to showcase your personal style while staying polished. These images work beautifully for author bios, speaker introductions, YouTube channel art, and social media graphics where you need space around the subject for text or quotes. I shoot these against hand-painted canvas backdrops in my Gilbert studio, creating a rich, textured look that sets your photos apart from the flat white backgrounds most professionals settle for. If you're looking for business headshots in Phoenix that actually reflect your personality, this relaxed portrait style strikes the perfect balance. You'll look confident and approachable—not stiff. Bring a few outfit options and we'll find the combination that photographs best against the backdrop colors available.
"I want to create images you'll actually want to post."
Multiple choices make better portraits
My studio in Gilbert, Arizona is designed to make your session comfortable, productive, and even fun. With multiple hand-painted backdrops, professional lighting setups, and a relaxed atmosphere, you'll have everything you need to get portraits you're genuinely proud of. Sessions are never rushed—I give you time to settle in, experiment with different looks, and find expressions that feel natural rather than forced. Many clients arrive nervous about being in front of the camera, but the structured-yet-relaxed environment helps even the most camera-shy people loosen up within minutes. If you've been searching for the best headshot photographer near you, the studio is conveniently located just 25 minutes from downtown Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, and Chandler. Whether you need a single professional headshot or a full set of business portraits, you'll leave with images that truly represent who you are.
Industrial Team Photos
On-site industrial team photography
Not every business fits inside a portrait studio. For construction companies, manufacturing facilities, oil and gas operations, and other industrial businesses across Arizona, I bring professional lighting equipment to your job site. These on-location team portraits showcase your crew in their real work environment—hard hats, safety gear, and all—while maintaining the polished quality of studio photography. The result is images that tell your company's story authentically, perfect for company websites, proposal documents, safety publications, and recruitment materials. On-location business headshots in Phoenix and surrounding areas also work well for individual portraits of leadership and management. I coordinate scheduling to minimize disruption to your operations and can photograph large teams efficiently in a single visit.
Actor Headshots
Commercial actor headshots for auditions
Casting directors spend seconds on each submission—your headshot needs to stop them mid-scroll. Bright, approachable photos on clean neutral backgrounds let them see your type and range instantly. I work with actors throughout the Phoenix area, from newcomers building their first portfolio to SAG-AFTRA professionals updating their look. Each session covers multiple expressions and styles so you leave with images ready for commercial, theatrical, and legit submissions on Actors Access, Backstage, and Casting Networks. As a professional headshot photographer who understands the audition process, I know what casting directors in Phoenix, Los Angeles, and other markets actually look for. Your headshot should look like you on your best day—not a heavily retouched version that gets you called in for roles that don't fit.
Office Headshots
Modern workplace portraits for entrepreneurs and professionals
Environmental portraits captured in your actual workspace add a layer of authenticity that studio headshots can't replicate. For startup founders, consultants, and business owners in the Phoenix area, these images show clients and investors where the work happens. I shoot on-location at offices, coworking spaces, and storefronts across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Gilbert—bringing professional lighting to make any space look its best. These business headshots work beautifully for website about pages, LinkedIn profiles, press features, and marketing collateral. The key is balancing environmental context with portrait quality: you should be the clear subject, not lost in the background. If you want professional portraits in Phoenix that tell a story beyond just your face, environmental headshots are the way to go.
Physician Portrait
Medical professional portraits with personality
Patients choose healthcare providers based partly on how approachable they look online. A stiff, outdated headshot creates distance before a patient ever walks through your door. I photograph physicians, dentists, therapists, and specialists throughout Phoenix, AZ—either on-location at your practice or in my Gilbert studio. These professional portraits balance clinical credibility with genuine warmth, helping patients feel comfortable before their first appointment. Your photos will work across practice websites, Healthgrades and Zocdoc profiles, hospital directories, and patient-facing materials. Whether you're in scrubs in a clinical setting or business attire against a studio backdrop, the goal is the same: look like a trusted professional who also happens to be a real person. Group practice? I can photograph your entire medical team with a consistent look in a single session.
Executive Portrait
Executive portraits for leadership communication
Senior leaders need portraits that project authority, confidence, and approachability—all at once. Executive headshots in Phoenix are one of my specialties, working with CEOs, VPs, managing partners, and board members who need images for annual reports, investor presentations, conference materials, and C-suite profiles on the company website. These sessions are tailored to leadership communication: the pose, expression, and styling all reinforce the executive presence your role demands. I understand that executives have limited time, so sessions are efficient without feeling rushed. Many clients combine executive portraits with a set of more relaxed professional headshots for LinkedIn and speaking engagements. If you need polished, high-end executive headshots in Phoenix, AZ that match the caliber of your career, my Gilbert studio is equipped with the lighting and backdrops to deliver exactly that.

Portrait sessions without limits
Time, outfits, and backgrounds—all unrestricted
Every session at my Gilbert studio is designed around one principle: you should never feel rushed. Whether you need a single professional headshot for LinkedIn or a full set of executive portraits and personal branding images, you'll have the time to try different outfits, experiment with multiple backdrops, and find expressions that feel genuine. Most professional headshot photographers in Phoenix charge by the hour or limit your outfit changes—I don't. My focus is on results, not the clock. You'll work one-on-one with me in a comfortable, private studio environment with professional lighting and a curated selection of hand-painted canvas and seamless backdrops. Serving clients across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and the entire East Valley, my studio is centrally located for easy access from anywhere in the metropolitan area. From business headshots to creative portraits, every session includes professional retouching and a carefully edited gallery delivered within days.
We're not in the 80s anymore—skip the tie unless it's something you regularly wear for important meetings at work. Dress authentically for your professional context.
No, but I work with professional makeup artists who can come to the studio. If you'd like to book a makeup artist, let me know and I'll coordinate the timing for your session.
I value authenticity over perfection. While makeup artists are excellent for hair styling, they often apply more makeup than necessary for professional headshots. You should look like yourself in your photos—polished, but recognizable. Most clients do their own makeup and are happy with the results.
Dress as you would for an important business meeting in your industry. Bring options if you're unsure—we'll work together to choose what photographs best.
Bring at least three looks: something formal you'd wear to a work ceremony, business attire for an important meeting, and something more relaxed like you'd wear meeting a friend for coffee—but still professional enough to be photographed in.
My professional photography studio is in Gilbert, Arizona—about 25 minutes from downtown Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, and Chandler. It's easily accessible from anywhere in the East Valley. I also offer on-location headshot sessions at your office or workspace anywhere in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Absolutely. I bring professional lighting equipment and portable backdrops directly to your office, coworking space, or job site anywhere in the greater Phoenix area. On-location sessions are popular with corporate teams who need consistent business headshots without pulling everyone away from work. I can photograph groups of any size efficiently in a single visit.
A headshot is typically a close-up from the shoulders up, focused on your face—ideal for LinkedIn, company directories, and professional profiles. A portrait can include more of your body, your environment, or styled elements that tell a broader story. Many clients book a session that includes both: professional headshots for everyday business use and more expressive portraits for branding and marketing.
Start with grooming—get a haircut a week before, not the day of. For clothing, stick to solid colors in darker tones like navy, charcoal, or black, which photograph well and convey authority. Avoid busy patterns and logos. Bring two to three outfit options so we can see what works best on camera. Most importantly, get a good night's sleep—it makes a bigger difference than anything else.
Most individual sessions run about 60 minutes, which gives us time to work through multiple outfits, backgrounds, and expressions without feeling rushed. Team sessions vary depending on the group size—I can typically photograph 15–20 people in a half-day session. Either way, the focus is on getting the right images, not watching the clock.
