The Photographer's Blog Issue #015 Environmental Portraits What They Are and Why They Are Important by Emilio Castro www.SabrinaCasasPhotographyStudios.com One of the main reasons to prepare your marketing budget aiming for a set of images instead of a single headshot is based on the same fundamentals that make you switch attire as you move around your life. You do not go to work with the same clothes that you go to the gym. You do not attend a family gathering dressed as if you were to a first job interview. Our social networks are built upon the mix of relationships our life is made of and therefore social media follows. Everyone of us mix some friends from work or clients with our personal Facebook or Twitter. Your personal branding , the images that represent you as your avatar in the digital world, need to adapt to the media and network where they are on use. You want to look good when interacting in Facebook and other social media but using the formal headshot from the corporate office in your personal social media is not exactly the way to fit in... The solution is a good and nice natural light portrait shot on a casual or business casual attire. Having a set of images for your personal marketing allows you to adapt your image to the feeling you believe fits best for the networks you are part of. Moreover having a couple of headshots with different backdrops and attires allows you to renew and refresh your corporate headshots in your company directory. All of which makes others realize you are not just forward-thinking but well prepared. On regards of environmental portraits, these are richer images to introduce the area of your expertise to your audience of potential clients and employers. On these types of portraits we aim to show you in the context of your work environment, be that an office, an airplane cockpit or an offshore platform. You will be usually dressed on your work clothes and we will be shooting at your location. All of which adds complexity to the planning and execution of these portraits. We will usually have a preparation planning session with you a few weeks before the actual shoot and brainstorm on what message you want to send and where you are planning to use the images. Because of the extra effort and additional budget required for these shots they are a very strong asset on your marketing which your competitors will not easily match.

The Photographer's Blog Review Fernanda's Review (Acting Headshots) by Emilio Castro www.SabrinaCasasPhotographyStudios.com Fernanda's Review: "Was a pleasure to work with Sabrina and Emilio. She is an excellent photographer! The headshot was great and exactly what we were looking for." Fernanda reached out to us looking to help her daughter, Beatriz, move forward with her starting career in the acting industry . Beatriz had been taking acting classes with a coach since a few years ago, and she had already had some experience on stage. However, like many young aspiring professionals in the industry, Beatriz had changed a lot since her first headshot. It was about time to refresh her image with a more contemporary look that would help Beatriz match better roles. During the photoshoot, Sabrina helped Beatriz relax, enjoy the session and create images that would show a few expressions she wanted to broadcast for potential roles during her applications. Presentation Cover Having a few different headshots is vital to help you grab the attention of casting directors and in many other areas of your career. Of course, it is also essential that the headshot shows you , your personality, skills, and strengths for those roles that you have better chances of landing. By the way, I welcome you to check the article on Backstage.com called " Actor Headshots: a Guide " with lots of excellent information and tips about this topic (check the link below). These sessions can be anything you need, from just a few well-planned shots to a much more complete session including makeup and hair, a few different outfits, and many images from headshots to full body shots. Most aspiring actors would be fine with a few strong headshots, and you don't need to make a significant investment to get on the right track.

The Photographer's Blog Issue #013 Professional Photography Part I by Emilio Castro www.SabrinaCasasPhotographyStudios.com SUMMARY & CONTENTS There are many options when it comes to your professional headshot , from trying to figure out things yourself by watching a few YouTube videos and using your phone to trying an AI generator that promises multiple images cheaply. Of course, there is also a ton of photographers and companies out there who offer headshots. What is the best option and why? Dive into this short article to get our view on these different options, and feel free to ask questions using the form below, too. INTRODUCTION DO-IT-YOURSELF HEADSHOT AI HEADSHOTS MALL PHOTO COMPANIES PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS LINKEDIN PROFILE PHOTO PROFESSIONAL BRANDING MORE INTRODUCTION As with any field in life, professional experience and dedication make a significant difference in photography. Access to a camera and editing apps are everywhere, enabling aspiring photographers to try and learn by repetition. The technology improvements bring lots of competition to the world of photography, and with all that also comes a neck-breaking speed of change in all aspects of the photographer's profession, from technology to technique, including editing software and cameras. There is so much to see and try, learn, and relearn. As someone that truly loves photography, Sabrina and I welcome it all. DO-IT-YOURSELF HEADSHOT In our opinion, from all the options in this article, other than working with a professional photographer , this is the one where most people could come up with a decent enough headshot to check the box required by your new company while creating an image that will help you progress in your new job . We believe the DIY option is better than most others because no one will care for the results as much as you will. It costs you nothing in terms of dollars, but the negative side is that you will have to spend a LOT of time to get it right, from doing the research to lots of tries. Keep in mind your friends and family won't give you the honest feedback you will need about your tries with the camera because they already like you and know you. Your coworkers don't know you, and some won't like you as much (as the new guy who may take on their job). The first impression many of your coworkers will have of you is your headshot. Finding a few How-To articles doesn't take a lot of Googling around. Actually, we are listing a few we like below and in the MORE section of this article. Tannia Suarez put together a short article to quickly point you in the right direction: LinkedIn Profile Photo Do's And Don'ts . Tannia also has a good eye to choose the type of headshots that fit the mold to look professional. The LinkedIn Talent Blog has a longer article on your professional profile photo , mainly focusing on the branding aspects for a recruiter: 10 Tips for Taking a Professional LinkedIn Profile Photo by Lydia Abbot . While the advice from the above article is great, the headshots they have chosen as examples need to be revised. So, keep the information handy but go back and check Tannia for a decent headshot (or check our Headshots Galleries to find what a good headshot looks like). Finally, we really liked the article from Chris Whooley , who is a professional photographer and an educator and hits the nail on the head when summarizing what you need to pay attention to 5 Tips for the Perfect Profile Picture for LinkedIn . Of course, if you are short on budget and have plenty of free time, this is your option -don't waste your money on AI headshots or going to a chain. And if you are having a really tough time trying and have a burning question, reach us using the form below, and we'll be glad to help you with advice. AI HEADSHOTS As with anything cheap, there is a reason why it is cheap. While at some point, these options will improve enough to provide some value for a quick headshot, right now, most of these AI generators are still creating poor images that look fake when you check them with just a bit of attention. We have tried the AI generators ourselves for curiosity and to keep up with the tech. We can tell you they require a lot of input , charge you hidden fees , don't guarantee your privacy and how your images will be used in their system, and the AI headshots look all fake (especially the eyes and expressions). As mentioned above, your headshot is your first impression maker, and there will always be someone in your company (or competition) willing to point out the fake look of your AI-generated headshot. If you are short on budget, try the DIY option instead . MALL PHOTO COMPANIES We are grouping under the label " Mall Photo Companies " all those companies who offer some sort of quick turnaround and low price for your headshots shot on some type of preset, cookie-cutter setting. There are plenty of these, but not all in a mall. The major difference between a professional studio and a mall company, and why this option is a waste of money, is that in the mall company, often the person behind the camera has absolutely no accountability (and doesn't care) about your headshot. On the contrary, when you go to a professional studio or work with a professional photographer , the person behind the camera is the owner of the studio or someone who cares that you look your best in your headshot. Ditch the mall company, invest in your professional image , and ensure your headshot works for you and not against you. PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS Is there still room for professional photographers out there? Yes, of course! The answer has to do with the ultimate quality of the images we deliver as professionals. There are a lot of reasons to work with a professional , I dive into some in the second article from this series, but the one point I want to highlight here is that you are working with someone who cares as much as you about how your headshot is going to look because that headshot is a reflection of their work and skill. My second point has to do with the fact that if you are at any point in your career other than about to retire, then by working with a photographer, you have an opportunity to create a relationship with a professional who can help you develop your image as a marketing tool to grow your career. Think about your photographer as you think about your CPA, doctor, and all other professionals you trust to help you achieve a successful and healthy professional life. You are working with someone who cares as much as you about how your headshot is going to look. LINKEDIN PROFILE PHOTO Having a bad headshot as your intro is as bad as showing poorly dressed to a first meeting with an important client or a prospective employer. It is worst; because the poor impression of a poor headshot replicates every time someone "meets" YOU digitally , and you are not even there to counter the poor image with your charming personality. While a lot of chat about headshots and LinkedIn focus on first impressions and the potential to help you stand out to recruiters and headhunters, the reality is that your profile picture does a lot more than just first impressions . And in all those additional exposures, the value of a good, professionally created image makes a significant difference. Your profile photo shows in almost every interaction on the platform , whether it is a comment you made on someone else post or an invite you send to connect, an article you post or share, or in the short list of contacts LinkedIn shows you when you research who in your network works at specific companies. There is a reason why companies support their marketing with professional photographers (and the best they can hire, at that), and that is because human beings are visual creatures. Your professional images often reinforce (or hinder) your networking and career development. Your professional images often reinforce (or hinder) your networking and career development. PROFESSIONAL BRANDING A professional branding session encompasses much more than just headshots. Beyond independent professionals and business owners, a branding photoshoot can be an excellent option for managers, directors, vice presidents, executives, and any professional who wants to further take control of their careers as they move towards the top of the chain. When working with a photographer in this way, you will also be tapping into other professionals like copywriters or professional coaches who can help you develop a plan to increase your visibility and grow your leadership and influence beyond the reach of your current work environment. Another reason to develop a working relationship with a professional photographer is that you gain access to the competencies these professionals can bring to your career development.

Master Professional Photographer Sabrina Casas, M Photog. CPP (PPA) View Gallery Quick Summary Why High-Quality Headshots These days more than ever, a headshot is a core part of everyone's professional branding . Across all industries, people work and collaborate online more than ever before. That is, in part, a lasting and staying consequence of the post-pandemic modern professional work environment . But the pandemic just accelerated what was already a trending pattern in large and small companies alike, working across the country or internationally to reach coworkers, clients, or vendors. A good headshot is a critical investment in your career and, along your career path , will show your professional development over time. Aiming for the type of quality photography that creates memorable images true to who you are is essential. You will use your new headshot every day and with almost everyone you work with. And you won't be there in the room when your headshot reaches all these people. Is your headshot something you are proud of? Attention To Detail How many times have you read in job descriptions that " attention to detail " is one of the top skills looked for by employers? It is enough to check LinkedIn, Indeed, or any other job board to realize those two words are everywhere. Your headshot and profile picture is one of the very first pieces of personal and professional branding that a recruiter or headhunter will see. Likewise, it goes together with all your invitations to connect, besides every comment you make in a post or any post you share with your network. You heard it: "An image says more than a thousand words." And your headshot tells it all. Did you care to create a good quality image , working with a good photographer, or was it just a cheap, check-the-box type of photo? An image says more than a thousand words Choosing The Top & The Best Photographers There are many good photographers out there and many other options, too... At Sabrina's Photography Studios, we focus on quality , personalized service, tailored sessions, high-quality post-production editing, and a process from planning to delivery that creates the strong and premium images you deserve and need for your career. Because every person is different, and every face is as unique as every one of us, it really takes a specialized set of skills and an experienced photographer to understand how to pose you to look your best. Coaching is a skill honed over time and repetition , and then sustained and nurtured by Sabrina's approach to continuous improvement to loop lessons learned from one shoot into the next. That's what a truly exceptional professional is about. "Amateurs train hard to get that one perfect shot; professionals train hard so they never miss a shot. " One of the many strengths that Sabrina brings to the table is her continuous education and eagerness to keep up with the latest trends in photography. Photography is an ever-evolving industry with new technologies advancing possibilities every year, from Artificial Intelligence to new cameras, gears, and gigantic leaps in editing software capabilities. Sabrina is a member of several professional associations , including the PPA , PPGH , and TPPA . She holds her professional certification, CPP, with PPA and achieved the prestigious degree of Master of Photography with this institution, too. Finally, but no less, Sabrina is an award-winning photographer at photographic competitions of all levels, from Houston to the renowned International Photographic Competition . Most recently, Sabrina was awarded the top honor at the PPGH as the Houston Best Photographer of the Year 2023 in the Active Category, which is a major distinction in one of the nation's most competitive and large metro areas. Photographers have highly coveted the award since its first edition in 1979 . It requires top-notch skills and the endurance to participate for the whole year producing set after set of high-rated images. Houston Best Photographer of the Year 2023 in the Active Category The Headshot Session. What to Expect. We offer three base packages for your headshots, each provides a few different options depending on the duration of the session and the number of images included with your package, but all of them are with the same, award-winning photographer, Sabrina Casas, M Photog, CPP (PPA) . So, the most critical part of the whole process (the photographer) will always be the same regardless of your chosen option, guaranteeing the best results. The whole process starts with a quick consultation over the phone to understand what you are looking for and what was your previous experience with these types of photography and then help you choose a base package that fits what you need before looking at scheduling. We will also discuss planning , from outfit options and makeup and hair to the selection process for your final images and delivery of the digital files. Sabrina is proud to have many five-star reviews at Google and takes your business very seriously. Here are three of our favorite reviews and a brief story of how we got to know these fabulous clients. Ricardo's Five Stars Review (Pro Headshots) Jessica's Five Stars Review (Corporte Headshots) Christy's Five Stars Review (Headshots For Success) "My picture was on par with that of the president and the CIO " Professional Headshots Packages Having a few pre-selected packages helps keep things simple , and that's why we have three standard, or base, packages you can choose from: Headshots For Success , Pro Headshots , and Quick Headshots . Of course, we can always work with you and be creative to help you achieve a specific result. The ability to think out of the box is one of Sabrina's strengths that comes from her diverse experience as a photographer who works not only in portrait photography but also in the commercial field. Headshots For Success This session is the most complete and longer of all three, providing more extended time to work with Sabrina in the studio and much more customized input on the planning stage previous to the session. The Headshots For Success is an excellent choice for those starting their marketing for the first time but who do not want to invest in a full personal branding session. Most people who choose this session are entrepreneurs, independent professionals, consultants, anyone in the personal or business coaching industry, and many realtors. Pro Headshots The Pro Headshots session is the most popular of all our packages providing a good mix of time on session with Sabrina, planning feedback, and a very competitive entry point from the pricing side, with the option to tap into a couple of limited promotions , including one for makeup and hair with one of the best makeup and hair stylists in town. Because of the high demand for these types of sessions, you must be ready to decide when calling to tap into the promotions. The Pro Headshots session suits all professionals looking to upgrade their networking, business branding, career options and those working remotely or online. These days, with so many companies sticking with hybrid work schedules , your headshot will be seen by your coworkers more than the actual you. So, investing in a headshot that goes well with where you want your career to go is smart. Quick Headshots As the name of this session suggests, the emphasis here is on speed . The Quick Headshots session is exactly what you need when rushing to meet a deadline. It is a fast, short, simple option that offers digital images delivered on the same day and on your hands . You can take the photos with you in our nice flash drive (included with the session) or have them delivered by Dropbox (no need to create an account). Note that same-day delivery does not mean a walk-in policy . Like many busy professionals, good photographers are in high demand, and sometimes you may need to wait up to a couple of weeks to fit into Sabrina's schedule. Pricing & Quality As in many other industries, photographers are priced based on experience and skill level. Good photographers aren't expensive but are well paid , as is fair with any professional who excels in their field. The best way to get an exact quote for what you are looking for is to fill in our online booking application and then have a consultation over the phone with our studio manager to discuss the specific details. It only takes about 30 minutes; we will listen and won't push you to purchase anything. It is really just a consultation and a good chat with us as experts in our field and with you as a member of the same community where we live. That said, we understand that everyone's situation is different. Sabrina has occasionally made exceptions and provided courtesy discounts or entirely shot for free because of the client's circumstances. Sabrina wants to make her photography affordable to as many people as possible while respecting the effort, time, and hard work put in for all good photographers to make a living while keeping up with their education and investment in constantly evolving new technology and trends. It is hard to be a photographer, it is harder to be a good photographer, and it is harder yet to make a living from it. We also want to give back to the community with our skills and talents. We offer discounts and promotions to those who have served in our country's defense and security as veterans, members of the military, police, and firefighters and their families, among others. We also greatly appreciate the role of educators in the present and future of the communities we live in and want to make our work affordable for them. So they can also enjoy the best quality we can offer. Because your circumstances are as unique as you , please schedule a consultation , and let's chat about what you are looking for. It is a good idea to reach a few photographers and chat with them, but focus on more than just the pricing when doing so. Your headshot is an essential part of how you are seen professionally .

CPP (PPA) View Gallery Quick Summary The Executive Headshot One of the most dynamic aspects of our economy is the vibrant and innovative business environment that continuously evolves the landscape of opportunities for the public and the companies operating in our modern economy. And a core part of any business, large or small, is the leadership team in charge of setting the direction, executing the business strategy, and inspiring their stakeholders, including investors, clients, employees, and vendors alike, to believe in their visions and capacity to bring their business to success. The business portrait of a modern business executive must capture the personality and synergies these people bring to their organizations; and their vision. All leadership positions have a considerable deal of public visibility . At any time and at any point, a situation may put executives in the spotlight of the whole community, the country, and even the world. Are you C-team headshots up to the occasion? As a professional photographer with extensive experience, Sabrina brings to the table her strengths in capturing the correct body language and expressions that will strike the perfect balance to capture not just an image but also the message; the vision. Sabrina's dedicated sessions for top executives include a pre-shoot interview to set the goals for the session, discuss outfit options and their impact on the message, and look at the creative possibilities to capture unique images tailored to the moment, the plan, and the vision. Also, with more and more women joining the growing leadership community of exclusive C-level executives, it is now more important than ever to work with a photographer who is also a businesswoman and a groundbreaking leader in her field.

CPP (PPA) View Gallery Quick Summary PERSONAL BRANDING Launch your brand with the best marketing, call 281.665.3868 Award-Winning Photographer Sabrina Casas, M Photog. CPP (PPA) View Gallery Quick Summary Personal Branding A full personal branding session gives you complete access to work with your photographer on developing a variety of images tailored to your brand while creating the media assets your marketing will need for the next few years. These types of sessions are a more considerable investment than just a headshot. The additional budget allows you more time and support from your photographer to create full-body shots, half-body shots, and dynamic images, among other options. If you are a realtor, a consultant, or a coach, or you are launching a business or start-up, then you may want to consider a personal branding photoshoot earlier in your plan to have the images you will need for your website and social media platforms, including Facebook private profile, Facebook business page, and Instagram. Likewise, any types of traditional marketing as business cards, flyers, brochures, and postcards, will also need good images to go with them and files on an excellent printable resolution that your commercial printer can work with. Another excellent use for these images is to develop a few email signature templates that you can use when emailing a client, helping you deliver a piece of your marketing with every message to reinforce the professional look of your brand. Partnering With Your Photographer (for the long term) One of the key concepts that we welcome our clients to understand is that you need to go beyond just "shopping around" for a photographer and trying to cut corners. Your photography and video are the core of your marketing . Your prospects will often see some marketing from you (digital or traditional) before they even consider calling you. A decision to reach you or not will be made many times, almost purely on your images. Does your photography show you as the professional you are? Your photography and video are the core of your marketing . Does your photography show you as the professional you are? In short, once you find a good photographer that you like to work with, stick with them! Your photographer is as essential as your CPA, your business attorney, your payroll provider, etc... It is hard to find good professionals in these areas, but they are crucial to run your business as it grows, and you will be much better creating a good working relationship from the get-go. As a Master Professional Photographer , Sabrina has the expertise and skills to help you develop your brand image from concept to the assets necessary to convert leads into sales. Sabrina also supports her work with a team of vetted professionals who can help you to maximize the use of your images and whose workflow is already integrated with ours. If you are already working with a marketing professional, we will gladly join your team as another brainstorming partner providing input as a subject matter expert (SME) in our field. Makeup & Hair Options All our personal branding packages include your professional makeup and hair styling , which adds value to your photos and helps create a more polished image. Likewise, the right hair styling will give you an additional boost of confidence when in front of the camera. You can choose between having your makeup and hair done at the studio before your photoshoot, having the professional MUA meet you at your home, or going to her salon to have the full salon at your disposal. We partner with some of Katy and Houston's best professional makeup artists (MUAs) . Most recently, we are offering exclusive promotions with the very talented Wenny Blackman from Wennexy Beauty Consultant . Wenny brings, to our team, several years of experience helping women look beautiful and feel confident. Wenny and Sabrina have worked together for several years and know each other well, creating the synergies you need to look your best. High-Quality Editing & Skin Retouch Top-notch commercial-grade images will only be completed with the very best editing to make them point-perfect. All our personal branding packages include the best editing in our pricing, as doing anything less won't meet the quality standard we are proud of. Sabrina has carefully developed a high-quality editing process that keeps you, you. This type of retouching produces natural-looking skin while smoothing minor imperfections. The process created by Sabrina balances how much to remove and how much to leave when walking the fine line between esthetics and beauty with the goal of keeping your natural you. Sabrina's editing skills are one of the many strengths that she feeds into her creative process and professional self-development. Sabrina is a skilled editor , and while she no longer edits every one of her images in person, she benefited earlier in her career from editing her own images allowing her to decide later on what to keep and what to change in what she does when shooting. Sabrina has expert-level knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and the most popular plug-ins in the industry. This allows her to directly understand what professional photo retouchers do and direct their work to achieve the exact results she is looking for. Professional editing that keeps you, you. Personal Branding Packages We offer three options for personal branding sessions providing each a combination of planning detail, time on shoot, location, and number of images that better work for your specific goals. While packages help to simplify the process, Sabrina is always open to customizing and adapting her sessions to whatever creative design you need. Throughout her career, Sabrina has worked with professionals and artists with very diverse backgrounds and goals, helping them develop branding images in industries so different as real estate , legal, medical, coaching , and authors to aspiring actors , webcasters, and YouTube stars. The best way to find out more about what specific options would work best for you is through a free phone consultation.

Planning & Preparation for Your Personal Branding As with any serious project, the first step on your personal branding starts with good planning , which drives the process and will help us deliver on your expectations. During the initial consultation, we'll cover key questions to help us understand where you are in your journey and your initial expectations. We will also share information about what to expect from the process and when working with other creative professionals. In the case of large projects , when we need to shoot at one or two different locations, request special permits, bring lots of props or lots of very different outfits, then we may need to have an additional in-person (or on-location) planning session to make sure we nail down all the details and put together a project plan leading to a smooth and productive photoshoot. Personal Branding PLUS Personal Branding PLUS When you need the best of the best for your marketing, there is nothing better in the market than our Personal Branding PLUS sessions.

Personal Branding FULL Our most popular package on personal branding, Personal Branding FULL , is often the best option for realtors wanting to give themselves a strong head start over the competition or trying to break into a new market. Likewise, it's an excellent option for business owners putting together their first serious marketing as they look to reach their target audience. This package will include planning support, shooting at our studio location, a change of outfit, professional makeup and hair, up to an hour of shooting time with Sabrina, professional editing, and up to 10 final digital images.

You will work with Sabrina for a full hour during your photoshoot. The package also includes pre-planning support to help you choose the best outfit option. And you also have makeup and hair included in the package, besides professional editing in all your images.

Launching Your Own Business There are many paths to becoming a business owner , from starting your own from scratch to purchasing a franchise. And in our communities, it is an idea in about half of all adults. Based on this great article from Legal Zoom , about 55% of adults in the US have started at least one business in their lifetime. That said, there is nothing easy about becoming profitable and sustainable. Selling is always challenging , except when you come from a previous background in that same area. Sales are critical to the survival of any business, but especially for small businesses. It is about more than just the critical cash flow or short-term/long-term profitability. It is about proof of concept for what you want to sell or do. It is about feeling good about what you are doing and waking up to an exciting day every morning. Nothing is more disheartening than sitting around waiting for clients to call or come to your business. Most industries operate in a very competitive landscape . If you do nothing, most likely, you will find yourself competing on pricing most of the time, which, if you are not ready for or willing to, it's a sure way to drop off earlier from your business dream. About 55% of adults in the US have started at least one business in their lifetime The Key Pre-Requisite That Can Make or Break Your Business. Credibility. While a photographer cannot make you money, we can help you establish a key precondition for a successful sale: credibility . Credibility is one of the key factors that take a prospect to give you an opportunity to earn their business. Most customers will do some research online , or between their friends (and then check you online), before making a purchasing decision on something they haven't purchased before or when looking for a different service or product to what they have used before. That's when your marketing has the best opportunity to grab the attention of ready-to-buy prospects, and that's when professional images can make a massive difference between looking trustworthy or sketchy, looking like a pro vs. an amateur. And while some businesses can funnel leads into calls or visitors without having to show much face of who the business owner is or how the shop looks like, if you don't have a trustworthy image online, you will always be missing on those clients who go the extra step of researching who you are before calling you. Those clients, the ones that spend the extra time on researching, are much more ready to make a buying decision on the direction they are going because they have already established some level of trust with your business based on what they saw online. So, these clients are less likely to focus on your pricing only and give you a shot based on the quality of what you want to sell. Would you do business with someone who doesn't look trustworthy? Would you open the door of your home to someone who doesn't look trustworthy? Would you trust your assets and investments to someone who doesn't look trustworthy? Would you do business with someone who doesn't look trustworthy? Would you open the door of your home to someone who doesn't look trustworthy? Your professional images matter and make a difference in your success, so it's essential to make room in your budget to work with a good professional photographer who can help you. A personal branding session is a great way to get your business started with high-quality images that will support and maximize your ROI in marketing because every impression will help you build your brand and credibility. And in the long term, your sales process will be boosted by that earlier investment in good images. What makes Sabrina such an excellent professional to help you is that she is all of them: a portrait photographer, a commercial photographer, and a business owner who understand where you come from and where you want to go.

Realtor Headshots & Branding for Real Estate Real estate is one of the most competitive industries, with relatively low-entry barriers that allow hundreds of people to try it every year and lots of flashy publicity about individuals who become wealthy and rich through real estate. And most recently, the post-pandemic years add to the frenzy with a crazy market where homes sell on days and bidding wars push offers several thousand dollars over the asking price. And, of course, real estate has been one of the oldest and traditional paths to lasting multi-generational wealth and a part of the American dream. Putting it all together, if you choose to start a career in the industry, you won't be alone, and it won't be easy. What would set you apart? A real estate career is more like business ownership than anything; you need to put money into it to get money out of it. Your marketing is vital to boosting your chances of success and speeding up the learning curve by bringing you more opportunities and calls to close into new listings. We have worked over the years with many real estate professionals, and Sabrina's personal branding sessions have helped many realtors create an approachable and trusted image in their marketing. Leroy started his real estate career after retiring from his previous job.

Reviews & More You can read some of our favorite reviews here, but call us at 281.665.3868 to further discuss your situation. We will happily share some advice and point you in the right direction. Christian's Review (Realtor) Crystal's Review (Life Coaching) Christian jumped into real estate tapping into his experience as an investor Video & Beyond Another important tool on your marketing portfolio is video, with its unique power to convey emotion and storytelling possibilities . While filmmaking is not Sabrina's primary area of expertise, she has already worked on a few projects and regularly produces commercial videos for the real estate industry. An ideal marketing strategy is to mix casual videos, shot with your phone, together with professional-grade videos that solidify your brand presentation with better production, professional sound, and high-quality soundtracks. Here is where partnering with Sabrina brings an additional tool to your marketing portfolio by having at hand a professional with the skills necessary to create powerful videos. As for larger and more complex productions, Sabrina will usually refer you to a full-time dedicated filmmaker within her network, providing you with a vetted referral and someone who knows Sabrina's work.

Sabrina also has a good network of graphic designers, commercial printers, web developers, and other creative and marketing professionals. Personal Branding Pricing The pricing for personal branding sessions in the Greater Houston area varies greatly depending on the session type, time to work with the photographer, retouching level, and the number of images. When comparing pricing and deciding on what your budget can afford, make sure that you understand what it's included in the specific package or offer you are considering. The one factor that most likely causes the most considerable price variations is the photographer's experience level . The most experienced and successful photographers , those with an established brand and reputation, will always be on the higher end of the price range, which is fair considering the effort it takes to reach such levels of expertise. Still, good photographers, even the best there are, are relatively affordable to most people, but their busy schedules make it hard to find them. Most of the best photographers tend to work alone or around a small team of trusted partners and employees. So, researching and booking in advance is always a good idea to ensure you can meet your deadlines. Sabrina is an Award-Winning Master Photographer with several years of experience in portrait and commercial photography, five stars reviews , and excellent customer service. Besides holding her professional certification with the PPA (the country's largest association of professional photographers), Sabrina is seriously invested in her continuous education. Sabrina puts her reputation behind every shot and is the photographer who will take your personal branding photos . Our pricing reflects that one important factor at their core. All our personal branding packages include at least one hour of on-session time with Sabrina, pre-shoot planning support, the best makeup and hair styling for women, the best high-quality retouching, and high-resolution printable files. If you compare the pricing of these types of photography to many other services and products you need when running your business, such as the cost of a good computer, a good website developer, or putting together an LLC with a business attorney, then you will quickly realize that good photographers are reasonably priced within the same logical range. Add to the above the consideration that your photography is at the core of your marketing and can make a difference in turning potential customers into actual clients. Partnering with a serious photographer who can deliver on their promises makes sense. As a final thought on this section and something we have already mentioned in previous sections, remember that Sabrina has occasionally made exceptions based on the customer's situation and provided courtesy discounts or other accommodations to help a fellow business owner who needed a hand. We always look to create partnerships for the long term , and it's ok to have an open discussion about what that looks like for you. Likewise, we offer discounts to veterans, members of the military and their families, police, first responders, and educators, among others. We welcome you to reach us by filling in our Booking & Information Form to get in touch; we'll love to meet you. More Yet To Read & Learn Don't stop at this section; if you are interested in learning more about what Sabrina can do for you, please go to the next section on this page of our site to learn about team pictures . And are you following Sabrina on Instagram yet? Here is another excellent post from her Instagram, just to share: Section IV TEAM PHOTOS Show the difference your team brings to the table View Gallery Quick Summary TEAM PHOTOS Show the difference your team brings to the table View Gallery Quick Summary Team Pictures Large or small, teams and teamwork are at the core of any business and many institutions. When you want to show your clients and the community the strength of your team and who your company is, there is nothing better than a few candid shots of the group. If you think about that, your team shows the culture of your company and a lot about how you do business. Some industries are formal; your customers expect to see that on your team, while others are more informal and casual. Some companies have mostly young people working for them, while others have a diverse workforce. The photography will capture all these aspects of your team as we create a set of images you can use in your website, brochures, flyers, and internally to help with team building. When shooting team pictures is vital to consider all the factors that are part of what you want your customers to understand. Images will set expectations and can advance critical pieces of information that put forward your strengths compared to your competitors. There are several options for team pictures , from just having everyone posing together and looking at the camera to more complex shots capturing the many tasks and activities that your team does as they contact your client, take orders, deliver products or deliver products or provide services. As a commercial and portrait photographer , Sabrina can help you with all aspects of the creative process to create these beautiful images, from brainstorming to the actual photoshoot, including planning and other factors. Team pictures show the culture of your company Small Teams. Team Photos. We call a small team a group of between two to maybe eight to ten individuals who work together in the same office. We can accommodate these groups in our studio location or shoot at your location, providing plenty of opportunities for candid team photos. During the planning stage, we'll cover points regarding what type of outfit and colors to choose and the role of everyone on the team. Sometimes these will drive to shoot smaller groups of people working together, as it would happen when the team is in action. Candid photos of your team in action tell a lot about working for and with your company. The possibility of shooting on location provides additional context for your branding when showing the team together. We'll carefully choose where to place every one to help tell a dynamic story with your images. The importance of team photos cannot be understated , and while it's always a bit complex to bring everyone together, that's precisely why these photos make such a difference for your clients as for the team itself. It takes dedication and caring about the team to create these images, and everyone will have to do their part to make the picture work, which is a small team-building exercise in itself. Realtors often work on teams to complement their strengths. Large Teams. Team Pictures. Large companies will have larger teams at the heart of what the company does. The logistics and preparations for those types of shots are very different and require much more careful consideration of the shooting location and how light, colors, and the overall space works for the composition of your shot. Many times, photographers will need to use some platform or elevation to take a shot that works for the moment. As part of our process and experience, we cover specific points during planning and execution to ensure the safety of our team and yours. Photographers may need some type of platform or elevation to take a shot that works for the moment. Headshots & Team Pictures A very usual combination for these types of photoshoots is to include a bundle of team photos and individual headshots for the team members, which helps to further build the organization's brand. Depending on the organization, it could also make more sense to have headshots without a team picture, which is perfectly reasonable. In that case, our planning focuses on ensuring consistency between the images to help you create a clean, professional look on your website when putting all photos together. Achieving consistency between headshots is much more than just using the same lighting or coordinating the right outfit colors. Individual headshots with a consistent look for the team are also great assets for any organization. Team Photos Pricing The best way to obtain an accurate quote for either of these shoots is to have a quick over-the-phone consultation to cover the information necessary.

CPP (PPA) View Gallery Quick Summary LIFESTYLE & OUTDOOR PHOTOGRAPHY Create approachable and candid images, call 281.665.3868 Tap into the talents and skills of Master Professional Photographer Sabrina Casas, M Photog. CPP (PPA) View Gallery Quick Summary Galleries Lifestyle Photography Lifestyle photography is mainly used for storytelling, focusing on you, who you are, and what you do. Who you work with, where you live, and what you believe in. Because these images are much more personal and sometimes revealing, they can fit a variety of purposes, and Sabrina likes to distinguish them from personal branding photos and pure commercial images. Yes, from a commercial standpoint, you can use these images to connect more intimately with your target audience as a local influencer or local guide. A role that often fits realtors and is a core concept Compass, the luxury real estate firm, likes to use when developing the branding for their agents. Compass likes to build its agent's brand using the emotional power that lifestyle photography can bring to the table Lifestyle Photography Beyond Commercial However, lifestyle photography can be much more than just a commercial tool. Because of its powerful storytelling and personal connection , you could use these sessions from a journalistic perspective or create a legacy to leave to those you love and who may not know you so much otherwise. When working with a professional photographer to capture who you are, you are tapping into the creative and artistic talents of the photographer and opening intimately to the artist who will need to understand your beliefs, likes, and dislikes. Choosing the right photographer is especially important in this case because, like all artists, the photographer needs the creative freedom to bring into their images their understanding and representation of how they see you-art is much more than just commissioning a specific portrait. Lifestyle photography can be much more than just a commercial tool. Natural Light Photography While most people will immediately think about parks and open fields when talking about natural light photography. The truth is that working with natural light is as much an exterior opportunity as an interior possibility. Natural light photography is simple as using the light of a large and bright window to carefully place your subject and create dimension on your portrait by using the lights and shadows available from the window. The primary source of natural light is the sun, though not the only one. And it's as simple as that. On the other hand, professional photographers with the right experience learn the art of emulating natural light when working in the studio with strobes and other artificial light sources. The above distinction made natural light can be gorgeous and work well for various purposes in photography. Natural light can be gorgeous and work well for various purposes in photography. Outdoor Photos The opportunities provided for outdoor photos are as diverse as the many settings we can find around the city. Houston is a vibrant urban environment with new and classic architecture, traditional homes and historic landmarks, and many parks, lakes, and malls. Choosing the right outdoor setting has a lot to do with your project type and goals. Whether a personal photoshoot or a business portrait, planning is critical to maximizing the opportunities and results of the photoshoot. One factor to consider when looking for a set of outdoor photos is that these environments are " uncontrolled ," meaning multiple external factors can impact the job , including weather, other people, allergens, and events around the city. And that's why it's always important to keep some flexibility in our shooting plan and work well in advance of any deadlines. Outdoor photos are perfect for creating a candid and fresh look. More We have covered a lot of ground on the above sections on this page. Still, much more can be done on portrait photography, and while Sabrina tries to stick to her projects and favorite areas of work, please feel free to reach us if there is something you are considering but haven't seen so far on our site.

The Photographer's Blog Issue #007 Move Your Headshot at the TOP of your To-Do! by Emilio Castro www.SabrinaCasasPhotographyStudios.com Another situation we often see at the studio is clients who have been with the very same headshot for too long and now they look nothing like their headshot . A lot of today's business and the very important "first contact" happen on digital. Imagine that one of your clients refers you to someone else and that person googles your web page, Facebook or some other pieces of your digital you. Then after a few conversations on the phone, text messages or emails you both meet in person but your client cannot truly tell you are the same person than the one on your (very outdated) headshot... Yes, the awkward feeling will all go away after a hopefully brief and uncomfortable moment but you only have one chance to make a first impression .... We recommend renewing your headshot every three to five years. Keep your profile picture in LinkedIn and your corporate website fresh and current. If you are afraid of the camera, then moreover you need to take this seriously. The reason why we recommend a full photoshoot session instead of a quick shot is because you get extra time to relax and warm up to the camera. While you are not in control of what happens when someone googles you, or what device your client or the headhunter, is using to find you, you do have control of how good that headshot looks and how professionally it presents you.

The Photographer's Blog Review Christy's Review (Headshots For Success) by Emilio Castro www.SabrinaCasasPhotographyStudios.com SUMMARY Review from one of our happy customers with additional context about what she was looking for and how we met. You can read her review, and many more, on our Google Business Page. CHRISTY'S REVIEW Sabrina & Emilio are the best! Excellent headshots, excellent communication, & very professional. I would highly recommend Sabrina for any of your professional or personal photos. HOW WE MET When we met Christy, she had just started her real estate career and decided to call us to get her headshot ready for her marketing. Like many other professionals beginning in the real estate industry, Christy had no experience with real estate but had extensive experience from her previous job in corporate. Christy wanted to tap into the skills she could transfer from her previous work, including customer service and a can-do attitude, which took her to research and find the right help to create new headshots for a candid and approachable look. At the studio, we help many realtors jumpstart their careers with the best personal branding. Their branding is essential since, often, that headshot will be between the very first pieces of information that a prospective seller will see when referred to or, in some other way coming across a portion of the realtor's marketing (digital or traditional). Here is one of Christy's favorites shots from her session. We helped Christy with a fantastic picture for her profile on HAR , and she was also looking to use the images for her business cards and flyers . If you are considering starting a new career in any area where you will work directly with sales or customer service, let us help you start your new project the right way and show your attention to detail from the start.

The Photographer's Blog Review Crystal's Review (Personal Branding) by Emilio Castro www.SabrinaCasasPhotographyStudios.com Crystal's Review: I thoroughly enjoyed my photography experience with Sabrina photography! What worked best for me was her artistic eye for the perfect shot/angle and her ability to capture my personality through a photo. Her promptness, professionalism and attention to detail were among the few amazing things that added to this quality experience. I also appreciated her encouragement throughout our session; that really helped me to feel comfortable throughout the process. I would absolutely recommend Sabrina for your photography needs!! Her work is exceptional!!!! When Crystal reached us, I was the one taking the call. Crystal had done extensive research about multiple portrait photographers in the area, and she had experience working with other photographers for family pictures. Still, this time around, she needed someone with both: excellent skills and an artistic eye to help her launch her new business. Crystal had recently started her life coaching career , and she approached her practice with her unique personality to help clients overcome various situations. Crystal wanted to be sure that we captured her upbeat attitude in the images as one of her strengths. Before the photoshoot, Sabrina used Crystal's input to define her shooting plan. During the session, both Sabrina and Crystal connected very well, creating various unique images that worked very well for Crystal, as you can see in the gallery. As the studio manager, I was happy to see once again what I often point to my clients about the fact that, in photography , as in many other businesses, teamwork is key to success . It is not only about our team at the studio working together, but also Crystal (as our client) teamworking with us from the moment of planning to the perfect possing during the photoshoot.

The Photographer's Blog Review Ricardo's Review (Pro Headshots) by Emilio Castro www.SabrinaCasasPhotographyStudios.com Ricardo's Review: I took Professional Headshots at Sabrina Casas Photography Studios. I liked that the process was clear and personalized. Emilio Castro, the Studio Manager, explained every part of the process very well and made pertinent recommendations. Sabrina was also great, you could understand exactly how she wanted you to pose. The pictures came out great. I was glad. Because I ended up being a panelist in a meeting where the president of the company I work for and the CIO where panelists as well in a Zoom call. If you are familiar with Zoom, if you are a panelist but it is not your turn to present, what everyone sees is your picture! My picture was on par with that of the president and the CIO; which was quite a relief. I definitely recommend Sabrina Casas Photography Studios and will most likely use them again in the future. It was a pleasure to work with Ricardo and help him with his headshot. Ricardo works for the MD Anderson Cancer Center . Like many other professionals working in large organizations during the pandemic, he suddenly found himself working most of the time remotely. When coworkers don't see you in person, the personal connection with your network loses vitality. That's when your headshot transforms into your avatar in the online world of professional portals and remote working. Ricardo was smart and realized he needed a new headshot . He had also lost some weight and wanted to update his headshot. All put together was the perfect opportunity to come to the studio and enjoy the personalized attention included with our Pro Headshots session . An option that Sabrina and I designed with professionals like Ricardo in mind. Your headshot isn't just a maker of first impressions in today's digital world. Your headshot has become a constant reminder of your attention to detail that shows to everyone in your company , including supervisors, coworkers, clients, and vendors. Knowing that Ricardos' new headshot helped him shine in front of the executives in his company is rewarding for me as I was the person picking up the phone when he first called, and I knew that we could make a difference for him.

The Photographer's Blog Review Jack's Review (Executive Headshot) by Emilio Castro www.SabrinaCasasPhotographyStudios.com Jack's Review: Professional, Quality, Reasonable, - 3 words I'd use to describe Sabrina's work. If you want professional interaction and quality pictures to put you in your best professional light at a reasonable price. Call and schedule a photo shoot you will not be disappointed Jack reached us looking to update his headshot since he had started a new position in a consulting company and was working very close to the CEO. Jack wanted a headshot that would match his current company branding and look and be in line with the CEO's headshot. I immediately pointed Jack to our Executive Headshots package since it was the best option to provide the type of planning and attention that Jack was looking for in his branding. I wanted to be sure that we offered Jack the help he needed for today's position and the type of images he could use to advance his career and tap into any opportunities his new position could bring regarding customer engagement. With busy executives, I have learned that often their most priced commodity is time. So, for me was essential to maximize the time our client was spending on the session and produce a set of high-quality images for today and tomorrow's opportunities.
