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

by admin JMon October 14, 2012 in Headshot Sessions | Seattle - Bellevue - Tacoma, My Blog tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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 Business Headshots in Tacoma and Kent | Julian Michael Seattle Corporate Headshot Photographer

So many times I have businesspeople contact me for their business headshot session and whether it’s for their small business or for corporate professional headshots, they share the same thing. “Julian, we made the mistake of not hiring you last time!” Basically saying to me, they had someone less skilled to photograph them.

In the Tacoma and Southend areas such as Federal Way, Auburn, Kent, Maple Valley and Puyallup to name a few, it’s much more difficult to find a skilled photographer that can capture a variety of businesspeople in a variety of environments or styles. Many photographers have ‘one’ style and they have difficulty stepping outside of this. One of my joys is telling my clients, “it’s your style I’m aiming to capture, not mine.” My style is simply that you’re going to have a good experience, you’ll like what we’ve done, it will be painless and you will likely have a hard time selecting just one favorite!

Next time you consider getting your headshot done give Julian Michael a call and you’ll receive a much higher caliber experience than most all Southend photography studios.

James/Classic Session | by Seattle Senior Pictures & Portrait Photographer Julian Michael

One of my favorite sessions from recent times was working with James who’s about as ‘chill’ as it gets. Playing on a Seattle premiere soccer team comes natural and being cool for his senior pictures session was a must! Most of his session was done in downtown Seattle like Capitol Hill and Pioneer Square but we considered Kirkland or Bellevue at first.

Enjoy some of my favorite pictures from his senior photos session:

It’s that time again! Here are some beautiful images from a recent session in Seattle for Senior Portraits. This senior had an amazing time in Kirkland but attends Redmond high school. She brought several great styling outfits for her senior pictures session in downtown Kirkland whereby we photographed her for a couple hours…time flies when you’re having fun! We considered shooting in Seattle or Bellevue but ultimately wound up choosing to do her best senior pictures session in Kirkland because of the coziness and great colors offered by Kirkland. Enjoy!

Professional Executive Headshots for Likewise.com Team in Bellevue

by admin JMon February 7, 2012 in Headshot Sessions | Seattle - Bellevue - Tacoma, My Blog tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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

by admin JMon February 7, 2012 in High School Senior Pictures That Rock!, My Best Photographs of 2011-2013, My Blog, Senior Pictures Sessions tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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!!

What a great Seattle senior portrait session today as we downtown Seattle by the waterfront and Capital Hill’s rustic areas to create some fantastic senior pictures.

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.
