PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS Make a strong first impression, call 281.665.3868. Master Professional Photographer Sabrina Casas, M Photog. CPP (PPA) Book Now 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 . You are right to choose a photographer you feel comfortable working with and whose work delivers on their promises. Explore Your Options. Let's Talk!

AUTHOR > < 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.

TEAM PHOTOS https://www.sabrinacasasphotographystudios.com/headshotsgallery Book Now 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.

AUTHOR > < SUMMARY & CONTENTS This high-level article is about the importance of quality in your team photos , what elements make for a good portrait, and how a professional photographer can help you create the brand image that you are looking for. INTRODUCTION LIGHTING POSTURE BACKGROUND CREATIVITY CONCLUSION MORE RESOURCES INTRODUCTION As a photographer, I have witnessed firsthand the value of high-quality team photos for businesses and organizations. A well-executed team photo showcases the individuals behind your brand and helps convey a sense of unity and professionalism. In this blog post, I will discuss the importance of having a professional photo of your team and highlight key aspects that contribute to a successful group portrait , such as lighting, posture, background, and creativity. Of course, as with anything in life and business, there is much more to discuss as to how often to refresh your team pictures and what to do when you are in the unfortunate situation of having a high turnover, to mention two usual questions that come during most of the initial consultations with our clients. There are suggestions and solutions for all those other situations, but we won't cover that in this article. Don't hesitate to contact us with a comment or your questions using the form on this page . LIGHTING Lighting plays a crucial role in creating exceptional photographs. Ensuring that everyone is well-lit and that shadows are minimized is essential when capturing a team photo. A skilled photographer will use a combination of natural and artificial lighting techniques to create a balanced and visually appealing image, ensuring that every team member is portrayed in the best possible light. POSTURE Posture is another essential element of a great team photo . A photographer will guide each team member on positioning themselves to create a cohesive and visually pleasing composition . Proper posture helps convey confidence and professionalism and ensures that everyone is presented flattering and comfortably. BACKGROUND The background of a team photo can significantly impact the overall aesthetic and message of the image. A professional photographer will carefully consider the background for your team photo, selecting a location or backdrop that complements your brand and adds visual interest without detracting from the subjects. Whether you opt for a clean, minimalist background or a more dynamic, on-location setting, the right choice will elevate your team photo and reinforce your brand identity. CREATIVITY While capturing a professional and polished team photo is essential, there's always room for creativity . A photographer will work with you to develop a concept that reflects your team's unique personality and style. This might include incorporating props, choosing a distinctive location, or experimenting with different poses and arrangements. A creative and well-thought-out team photo will not only stand out but also provide a memorable representation of your team. CONCLUSION Investing in a team photo is a valuable decision for any business or organization. By working with an experienced photographer who understands the importance of lighting, posture, background, and creativity, you can create a powerful visual representation of your team that showcases your collective professionalism and personality. In a competitive market, a high-quality team photo can help to set your brand apart and make a lasting impression on your target audience.

AUTHOR > < 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.

AUTHOR PROFILE Emilio Castro In my role at the studio, as the Studio Manager, I take pride in keeping the logistics of our work running smoothly for our clients from first contact to delivery. I like to think that our customer service is second to none. Of course, having been married to Sabrina for over +25 years, I truly enjoy her every achievement as she creates beautiful work for our clients and her own projects. I have a background in Accounting & Business Management and have worked in the Oil & Gas industry for over 17 years leading supply chain teams in international and domestic markets. I achieved the Lean Bronze Certification during my time at Halliburton and later discovered the benefit of Scrum and Agile Project Management when working for BP. I am a fan of continuous improvement and enjoy leading diverse teams of every kind while working for those large companies. I'm also a self-taught web developer and coder, a Certified Remote Pilot (I fly our drones), and a self-published fantasy author, among many other small feats and accidents. AUTHOR > < 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.

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) Book Now Quick Summary 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. Remember that if you were looking for information on Wedding Anniversary Sessions , you need to head to a completely different page on our site as we extensively cover these sessions. Likewise, if you are looking for anything related to Sabrina's commercial work, including her outstanding architectural images for the Luxury Real Estate Industry , you also need to head in a different direction. Senior Pictures One specific area of work that we haven't covered in detail but that Sabrina does shoot regularly is Senior Pictures . These are fun and short projects that Sabrina enjoys as they bring an opportunity to learn more about your family. Outdoor photography is excellent for a Senior Pictures photoshoot. Many clients who have worked with Sabrina before and know her quality and creative focus ask Sabrina for help with the senior photos for their children. As an important part of the family, pets are a great addition to your photoshoot. As a final thought, in these days of so much and intense social media "living" with children feeling compare not only to their high school pairs but to the whole world of other teens and influencers , now is when it is more important than ever to show to our teenage children that we care for them. The senior photoshoot is the right opportunity to keep the focus on them and make your teen feel understood and appreciated. Ultimately, you want beautiful images of your high schooler to display in your home proudly. So, they can see every day at home that you put them in an important and visible position . It shouldn't be necessary to "have to" show our children how proud we are of everything they are, but teens may feel forgotten in the never-ending sea of social media posts . The stress of always busy schedules, theirs and ours doesn't help either. Likewise, one of the consequences of post-pandemic remote working is that the distinction between work and private life has become much more blurred, and in that blur, our teens may feel lost. Photos of them around the home help to remind them how much we care.
