Three Reasons to Have a Professional Headshot | Seattle Corporate Headshots Photographer

Three Reasons it’s Important to Have a Professional Headshot for Business That You Love

1) You’ll be happier to look at your online profile with a better professional business headshot taken of you. Confidence is amazing and it starts with you and your online you these days. So many times I’m talking with someone and they say to me, “I never look good in pictures so I don’t share this with anyone.” When in fact, today is ALL about being personal and showing yourself!

2) Other professional business people will look at your headshot and base an opinion about you solely on your projected image (i.e. your professional headshot!) Although we’d like to think all business professionals will read your profile and then make a judgment, many of them will base their opinion on visuals and many times it’s completely intrinsic. Having an updated headshot that shows your best side and best foot forward with great lighting with an authentic smile goes a LONG WAY!!

3) You’re not getting any younger. In all honesty, it’s always funny to meet someone in person and they look like their online business profile’s older self! How many times have you met someone after seeing their professional business signature or LinkedIn profile then they look totally different in person. Happens so frequently it’s amazing. Don’t be one of these people and make sure to update your profile every two years or so.

Professional Executive Headshots for Likewise.com Team in Bellevue

After receiving an inquiry to photograph the Executive Team of a successful startup – Likewise.com – I was able to schedule their professional business headshots session inside their corporate offices in Bellevue near Issaquah. We only needed about 60 minutes to complete sessions with their six executives that needed updated headshots.

The goal for this session was ‘clean’, ‘soft lighting’, ‘friendly’, which my client was very happy with my execution of these goals following their session. Their arrangement included an on-location visit for about 60 to 90-minutes, a pre-session phone consultation, their best images retouched in high res, and my personal guarantee that they will be very satisfied with my final product. Thanks again to Likewise.com in Bellevue for their professional executive headshots session!

Most important was the ‘feel’ of the session and what type of images we came out with. Their marketing manager decided that the headshots for the executive team needed to have a consistent look, casual feel, and with a slightly gray background, but not white. I setup inside their Bellevue offices in their lunch room, began moving everywhich thing around, and awayyy we went!

Following their sessions their CEO and VP of Sales & Development thanked me graciously and it turned out that one of my photography industry friends in Seattle was the spouse of one of the executives at their Bellevue offices!! Too funny!

Bruce, Class of 2012 Woodinville High School | Senior Pictures Seattle & Bellevue

Bruce is one of several Woodinville High School soccer team players I had the opportunity to work with for their senior pictures to create some cool magic! All of these guys were really cool and because of a couple GREAT moms on the team, they came to get the very best senior pictures in and around Bellevue or Seattle by Julian Michael!

Bruce brought his ‘classic’ guy gear, consisting of jeans, white tee and a couple jackets for his selection of senior pictures outfits. For one of his senior pictures outfits I had him in a very natural pose and he looked just like one of his buddy’s senior portrait sessions in Kirkland and Bellevue from the month before in 2011. Overall Bruce and his family were super happy with their selection of senior portraits to choose from and wound up with the image in the bottom-left of the collage on their wall as a wall portrait and ordered a really cool album with custom designs. Next time we’ll get their family together up in Mukilteo for a great family portrait. His sister only has a couple years until her senior pictures…time sure does fly!!

Leah brought several great senior pictures outfits and we had some great attire to choose from, including a fun elvis drop shoulder shirt with skinny jeans, a cute mini skirt with matching top and other cool senior gear. For one of her senior pictures outfits she wore this red, white and blue plaid shirt that reminded me of a senior portrait session in Lynnwood and Woodinville I did in 2010. Overall Leah was super happy with her selection of the best senior pictures she could possibly get by Julian Michael.

Valerie, Class of 2012 Seattle Lutheran High School, Senior Portraits

Location: Downtown Seattle, Pioneer Square

So much fun photographing Valerie for her senior portraits session! One thing Val definitely has is ‘spunk’ and always makes for a great senior pictures session when we have some great attire to choose from, including an awesome striped shirt, scarf and hat that were my favorites. We made sure to capture a variety of images so it’s easy to know the best senior pictures in her session. Val is a referral from her Dad whom I photographed several months ago for his real estate company business and uses for marketing purposes.

Evan @ Woodinville | Senior Portraits Session

by Julian Michael, Senior Portrait Photographer serving Seattle, Bellevue, Lynnwood, Kirkland, Everett and Surrounding Areas

Evan is the second of five siblings that I’ve had the opportunity to photograph for his senior pictures in Kirkland. Both he and his older brother (and their family) are very much into Soccer and it’s always fun to work with laid back high school seniors that are pretty excited for their session. We used the Juanita Beach and Towncenter area in North Kirkland for his session backgrounds – one of my favorite spots to photograph as their is such a variety all within about two to three blocks walking distance. it always helps when it’s August and about 80-degrees (as opposed to February and 38 when I also photographed someone there)!

A couple of my favorite samples – enjoy!
