Meet our friend, Priscilla Maynor. When Priscilla, a small-business owner from Holly Springs, North Carolina, reached out to Teresa Porter Photography about professional headshots, she was looking for executive headshots that offered more than a single look. She needed a collection of images that could adapt to her evolving business needs and that would be versatile enough to use across platforms.
We know that headshot photography is a crucial component for any business owner or professional, but for small-business owners the “why” is important. Why do we need professional headshots? We need them because headshots help others perceive you and your brand image is essential to the way your business operates. Your executive headshots should show the world how you look while amplifying your confidence, expertise, and the value you bring to your field. A collection of professional headshots sets you apart from your peers and colleagues, and most importantly, adds credibility to you and your brand.
A Tailored Portrait Experience
Understanding Priscilla’s desire for variety and longevity in her headshots, we designed a portrait session that would provide her with a diverse range of images, ensuring that she had options for every professional touchpoint, from her website and social media platforms, to promotional materials and future marketing opportunities.
Priscilla came into our studio in Downtown Cary on one of our Headshot Marathon days, and with our range of set-ups in the studio, this enabled us to utilize our many backdrops and props for diversity to her headshots. We started with light and airy backdrops before Priscilla’s first outfit change and then a bolder, classic look, to add dimension to her collection of professional headshots. Then, for a more dynamic feel, we incorporated an office setting and a cozy armchair pose, adding depth and personality to her collection. The combination of settings adds interest to Priscilla’s headshots and allows her to use them in a variety of settings, while they continue to feel refreshed.
Our Headshot Marathon sessions are the perfect opportunity to capture your professional headshots with versatility in the backdrop and wardrobe choices, as well as showcasing your brand’s personality.
Outfit Choices for Lasting Impact
To maximize the longevity of her portraits, Priscilla brought several outfit choices and we helped to select and create outfits that suited her and her brand the most. Wardrobe changes are essential when you are planning a collection of professional headshots, so that you are not just left with a one-time portrait session, but instead, a collection of evergreen images that will remain relevant across seasons, marketing campaigns, and professional platforms. From polished and classic to relaxed and approachable, each look was carefully styled to reflect the many sides of her personality and her brand image.
Headshots That Work for You
Priscilla’s Headshot Marathon session resulted in a versatile portfolio of professional headshots that Priscilla can use across her brand, ensuring consistency while keeping her content fresh and regularly updated. Whether she’s updating her LinkedIn profile, launching a new project, or speaking at an event, she now has professional headshots that fit every context and reflect her personality and expertise.
