About the session:
Ashley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who was transitioning from a group practice into her own private practice and needed an updated headshot for her website. She wanted her new headshots to reflect her personality and profession while depicting the safe and confidential environment she provides for her clients.
As she was in the process of transitioning to a new office space we needed to replicate what that environment would be like. When she described it as a small space with dark walls, a large window and filled with plants, I knew the perfect studio to use for her photoshoot.
Since the studio would require a bit of staging to set the scene for her therapy services, I knew we would need more than a 30 minute Simple Session, so Ashley upgraded to my hour long Simple Session Plus. This gave us time to position the chair, lamp, plants and side table, while also incorporating the mug of coffee Ashley always has during her sessions, her notepad and two different blazers. And we had just enough time to incorporate another part of the studio for one last bonus look to add to her gallery.
While Ashley wasn’t focused on the quantity of photos at this time in her business, she really needed a strong, professional photo that conveys who she is and what she does. So I gave her multiple similar options to choose from, in a variety of crops, and we both love how they turned out.
In her words:
I asked: “What problem did I solve for you?”
Ashley said: “You helped me feel at ease about my concerns and you were able to produce exactly what I was asking for, holding in mind my personality and my profession to get the right look in the photos.”
