That's why the quality of your corporate headshots is so important at this level. There are many aspects to keep in mind when planning for these types of business portraits. On one hand, the CEO and his or her team provide leadership and example to the organization internally but then they are also the face toward customers, clients, investors, and other organizations. It's a balancing act between creating a portrait that shows strength and confidence vs one that looks approachable and friendly. Sometimes a plain backdrop and the correct lighting are everything you need but considering the vision of that executive as a leader may also factor in other ideas and provide context to shoot a different type of portrait or a whole set that could be used on a variety of marketing materials and branding.

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 & 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.

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.

AUTHOR > < 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.

AUTHOR PROFILE Sabrina Casas, M Photog. CPP Sabrina is at the heart of our photography business, with a few exceptions; the majority of the photographic works on our website and blog have been born of her talent and relentless drive for perfection. Sabrina enjoys engaging in almost any conversation regarding photography. She can easily spend hours checking reviews and technical papers about cameras and lenses and then trying them on her many projects. While her technical skills and talents have put Sabrina at the top of her game, she approaches photography with an intuitive touch for experimentation. Her skills in the editing field allow her to gain unique insights into the results of those ideas she tries in the studio and during her commercial work in the luxury real estate industry, where she has championed unique looks of stylized lines and luminous perspectives. You can learn more about Sabrina on her About page. AUTHOR > < As a woman, I have struggled with wanting to feel beautiful. There are so many reasons we ever put ourselves last. There are so many other priorities that ever seem to come before us. As a professional photographer , a mother, a daughter, a wife, a sister; as all that and more, I decided that I wanted to help women find the freedom to love their beauty . You have to love yourself to be able to give love to others. You have to star by you -but we usually get all that wrong. My glamour photoshoot are a fun and wonderful experience. You can have the session all to yourself or share the session with a sister, a mother or a good friend. It is about choosing and trying a few makeup options, get your hair perfectly done, find a dress that makes you feel spectacular and enjoying all that together. We can discuss ideas on a pre-planning session or just work thru the session. Let me help you feel like a covergirl. We all can be there. You do not need to have a perfect body or be a professional model to look wonderful. My mission is to make all women look wonderful, to find your beauty, to celebrate yourself. It does not matter your age, your size, your weight or anything else. It does not matter. We all are beautiful. As part of my professional development I attend every year the largest photographers conferences in the nation including Imaging USA (PPA), WPPI and PhotoPlus. It is there that I have met some of the most influential photographers of these days. Those professionals who are leading the way and shaping trends and styles with focus on women's beauty and women's empowerment . I am always learning and always looking to apply new techniques and ideas back to my work at the studio. The field of glamour photography has been gaining new momentum between women as a way to rediscover their beauty rather than as a product of society.

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY ● Creates a casual look ● Shows you approachable ● Simple & fast, yet, tailored to you ● Use in business cards and HAR ● Personalized photoshoot ● Digital files (web-ready) ● Printable files (300 DPI) ● High quality retouching ● Adobe Photoshop workflow ● Quick turnaround & Delivery ● By appointment, ONLY www.SabrinaCasasPhotographyStudios.com Natural Light & Casual Look Natural light portraits are on high demand for professionals on multiple industries who want to connect with a younger public. I also recommend a set of these images to anyone looking for a full personal branding package. There are multiple situations where you can use the casual and natural look provide by these images to connect with your audience. When getting ready for your session it is good idea to pick a few options on clothing that you want to try for the natural light shots. Of course, you do not want a winter look if you live in Texas, since your images will feel out of place during most of the year. This can make challenging to create these images during the few months of winter we have a year if you solely depend on the sun and working outdoors as your source of light. One of the strengths I bring to the table as professional photographer is the ability to emulate natural light with my own studio lights. A seasoned photographer would have the expertise to understand light and color, and adapt their tools to produce a final impression as desired (soft sunset light) but I will usually try to make good use of a sunny day if we do happen to have one as we are working on your photos.

Please reach out! Submit www.SabrinaCasasPhotographyStudios.com ABOUT SABRINA Where It All Started Sabrina is an active member of the PPA (Professional Photographers of America ), where she achieved the distinguished degree of Master of Photography through her merits and professional contributions to the industry. Sabrina also holds her professional certification credentials (CPP ) with the same institution. ​ Sabrina started her career in photography with the vision to deliver outstanding images and videos while sharing her love for photography as a powerful artistic expression . ​ Sabrina grew up in the southern lands of La Patagonia, Argentina . At a young age, she developed a strong love for art and photography, inspired by her mother's paintings and her father’s photography -he traveled those remote and open lands taking on the landscape with his camera while working for an oil and gas company. ​ Sabrina jumped into photography for the first time more than seventeen years ago, armed with a Canon camera, a few lenses, some film, and a strong desire to learn. She experimented with developing black-and-white film, learning how developer and fixer transformed her negatives into photographs in a small dark room at the back of an old office. Since then, Sabrina has never stopped learning and exploring photography , starting a journey that has taken her to master digital processing and fast-evolving new technologies in this fascinating field. ​ However, Sabrina's passion for photography was born long before the first time she saw a painting or a camera. In fact, her love for the art of seizing light is strongly tied to how she discovered the world. Most people have discovered the world only once or never, but she did three times... ​ Like most people, Sabrina's first sight of the world was the day she was born. She did not realize the world she was seeing was different than the world everybody else was seeing until years later when one of her teachers discovered Sabrina was suffering from severe sight limitations. Sabrina got her first pair of glasses when she was eleven years old, which was the second time she discovered the world, but the first time she ever saw the stars. ​ Sabrina still remembers how surprised she was when the blur went away; the car lights at night weren't shiny undefined spots anymore; they had shapes... The stars in the sky were so many and so much more. ​ Then, when Sabrina turned twenty-five years old, she finally made enough money for the medical intervention that fixed her affection and took her to rediscover the world once again. This time her wonder was born from the details she had never seen before; leaves suddenly had channels, and the world gained a sharpness that she decided to capture forever. ​ It is quite a contradiction —but one often seen, that our greatest hardships become the fire of our strongest passions. Sabrina's love for photography is second only to her love for her children and husband. ​ If you have the opportunity to meet Sabrina, you will have the privilege of enjoying her talent and skills in doing what she loves more: Revealing the world around us in new and wonderful ways . ​ March 23, 2014 Emilio Sabrina Casas, M.

Visit Page Love Your New Headshot Headshots Empower Your Marketing Personal Branding Investing In Your Career A good headshot is one of the smartest investments you can make to help your career progress forward. Your headshot does much more than help you with job applications. Most likely, your headshot shows every time you send an email in your email signature, chat online with a coworker or a client or share your business card. The online and remote working workplace is now more common than ever. If your professional branding, headshot, and images aren't up to date or good enough, you are missing an opportunity or, worst yet, causing a poor impression on the people working with you. Making an effort to find a good photographer, preparing the best outfit for your photos, and investing the time and money to make it happens does make a difference. A professional photographer can make a huge difference in helping you create an image that fits within your industry and makes you feel confident that you are looking your best. At Sabrina Casas Photography Studios , we are proud to deliver outstanding quality images and the best customer service. If you want to learn more about taking your professional and personal branding to the next level, consider scheduling a quick phone consultation by filling out our Booking & Information Form or continue reading about Sabrina's work by visiting the Studio Photography page. LOVE YOUR NEW HEADSHOT SABRINA CASAS PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIOS Working with Sabrina and Emilio was an absolute dream. I had never taken headshots before and didn’t know what to expect. I also hate having my picture taken. Emilio was exceptionally thorough throughout the process, leaving no doubt in my mind that I was going to be dealing with some serious professionals. The day of the shoot, the weather was terrible, and my hair was a mess, and I had zero confidence, but my mood changed when I walked in. Sabrina has the BEST vibe, and she knows her stuff. To say I was impressed in an understatement. She was like the cool big sister who helped me find my confidence when I needed it most. I get high compliments anytime someone sees my headshots, and I’ve been told that I have the best headshots in my group. Sabrina is just a badass and a true master at her craft. She’s an extraordinary artist. becca m 5-STARS CLIENT REVIEW About Sabrina The About Sabrina page currently provides a bit of background on her, but there is much more to share.
