#HEADSHOT SAMPLES

CLICK IMAGES to ENLARGE

These are just a handful of headshot styles & settings. Our number one request is Headshots for LinkedIn, followed by headshots for teams, acting, modeling and talent and lifestyle headshots. Whatever your goal, I am up for it!

To answer a few common questions: Many of these outdoor samples were actually studio headshots. About 60% of my sessions are location headshots, and about more than half of those request full team or staff headshots. Similarly, some below that appear to be studio headshots may have been shot location headshots where the portable studio option was chosen.

Not all group portraits are how they were originally posed. More recently (thank you COVID), we have been creating group headshots from individual portraits. (HR depts. keep my artist busy “installing” new staff members or retiring others.) Unlike green screen photography, our clean, bright white (not off-white or grey) option can be used both as a digital knock-out or as a white background. From there a colored key-line border can give you creative flexibility - perfect for branding photography.

Looking for Lifestyle photography to replace stock (dare I say inauthentic images?) Those samples are below as Product & Lifestyle.

#SENIOR_PHOTOGRAPHY

CLICK PICS BELOW TO ENLARGE

Senior portraits were my sole focus for my first 12 years of business.

Post recession I turned my attention to talent, beauty and business headshots because they increased my diversity of clientele at a time many needed to change directions in the job market.

I stopped my senior rep program, deciding that I wanted my seniors to choose me for what I delivered and not by the influence of someone that gained financially from referrals. Taking care of those who found me on their own led to record business in 2021 and 2022. Word of mouth far exceeded my Yelp & Google searchers, so I decided it was time to say THANK YOU for that!..

NEW …THIS … YEAr…

FREE DIGITALS WITH ALL CLASS OF 2023/24 SESSIONS

…and no additional purchase requirements!

Though I prefer to see people purchase wall portraits for sake of history, I know that some are perfectly content trusting their digital devices. (backed up properly, I agree). For that reason I put together several new packages for class of 2024 senior pics (or 2023 if you waited for spring)

Yes, I have a studio, but I’ve been shooting outdoor senior portraits since I was a high school senior myself. Inside outside or a mix, I do it all.

I’ve spent decades flowing with trends - except for TikTok I confess … my youngest daughter is fixing that as a PT job this summer so PLEASE follow @studiobpdx I look pretty pathetic! HA

We’ll design a session to match your personality, in or out the studio. There are some great background options near the studio if a shorter session is your preference, but the studio door will lock long enough for beach sessions as well.

PRODUCT & LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRPAHY

CLICK IMAGES to ENLARGE

I funded my studio with several years’ savings from retail, with a passion for marketing and merchandising. Little did I know that it was preparing me for my career as a photographer. Though static product images are mostly technical (lighting, exposure & aesthetics) LIFESTYLE photography blended my aptitude for the psychology of consumers, and directing subjects to create appeal for your customers.

Today’s consumers click away from dated, inauthentic “stock images” in search of engaging, effective and personalized images. Media that portray your staff and client services in action.

Set up a 10 minute consult to discuss your goal. If I sound like your ally to amplify your marketing game, we’ll book and on-site appointment to create an efficient plan.

FAMILY & PETS

CLICK IMAGES to ENLARGE

In 2008 I turned my focus from portrait services (seniors, family & kids) to commercial services. Though I’d prefer to show my B2B (biz to biz) clients that I’m committed to a marketing mindset, my roots are deep in the categories that brought me most of my book covers, accolades and peer recognition.

As you’ll see, I’m not a prop-heavy studio. My style is either nature-forward, personality focused or dramatic black and white. If these styles appeal to you, I’d be happy to work with you and your family.

Hi, I'm Brian, your go-to photographer in the Portland Metro area, specializing in creating authentic, professional headshots and senior portraits. Since starting my journey, I've dedicated myself to offering top-notch photography services at sensible prices, regardless of the economic climate. My studio, conveniently located on the Tigard side of Lake Oswego, is perfect for both business and personal photography needs.

Despite the economic challenges of 2020, my studio has thrived, even achieving record-breaking years in 2021 and 2022. I pride myself on not just being a Lake Oswego photographer but also serving clients in Tigard, Tualatin, Beaverton, and beyond. My approach is personal – I get to know you and your audience to ensure your photoshoot is comfortable and meets your exact needs.

Whether you need polished headshots for corporate profiles or a relaxed style for more casual branding, I've got you covered. My studio offers diverse backgrounds and sets, and I'm equally adept at on-location shoots. Remember, great photography isn't just about images; it's about trust and authenticity, something I strive to reflect in every shot.

Need a photographer who understands the demands of various business sectors and personal moments? Look no further. Let's create something amazing together!

COVID safety measures updated September 19, 2022. In sum, I will only wear a mask when you select this option at booking. I am perfectly fine doing so, especially knowing how many of my clients have shared their safety needs as, or living with, an immunocompromised relative. PLEASE be sure to still adhere to the preventative lessons we’ve all learned by now - respectfully rescheduling if you’re not feeling optimal or living with someone that is quarantining. I’ll happily change your session time to accommodate.

Cheers!
