Studio or on-location, we shoot both
Customers tell us "we had to make a last minute location change." Others say "I traveled 860 miles to get my headshot taken." The studio handles both kinds of bookings without forcing a choice.
The studio is the right call for controlled lighting and multi-look sessions. On-location is the right call for full-team headshots when pulling everyone to one address is not practical.
We bring portable studio lighting and backdrops on-location so the image quality matches a studio shoot. On-location team rates.
What should I bring to my portrait studio session?
The studio provides everything else. A few things on your end make the session run smoother:
- 2 to 3 wardrobe options. Solid colors photograph best. Navy, charcoal, black, white, jewel tones.
- Camera-ready. Hair and makeup done before you arrive. You do not need a stylist.
- Props that matter. A doctor's white coat, a branded blazer, a specific tie. Bring it.
- Skip the brand-new outfit. Wear something you have worn before and feel good in.
- No stress required. If you do not love being on camera, you are in good company. The session is built around coaching, not performing.

The lighting and optics behind a studio headshot
Studio headshots live and die by lighting and depth-of-field choices. Here are the terms that come up while we shape your portrait, with canonical references.
A standard portrait lighting setup that uses a key light, a fill light, and a backlight to shape the subject and separate them from the background. It is the foundation of most studio headshots because it produces a flattering, dimensional look without harsh shadows.
The primary directional light in a portrait, usually placed off-axis from the camera at a 30 to 45 degree angle. It shapes the face, defines the cheekbones and jaw, and sets the overall mood of the shot.
A secondary, lower-intensity light positioned opposite the key light to soften the shadows the key creates. Adjusting the fill controls how dramatic or even the lighting feels: more fill reads softer and more approachable, less fill reads more sculpted and editorial.
The small reflection of the light source visible in the subject's eyes. Catch lights bring a portrait to life; without them, eyes look flat and the photo reads dead, which is why studio headshots are lit so the catch light lands consistently.
The soft, out-of-focus blur in the background of a photo, created by shooting at a wide aperture with a fast lens. Used in headshots to separate the subject from the background and draw the eye straight to the face.
