Whether you’re updating your LinkedIn profile, refreshing your website, or planning a brand refresh, a professional headshot is essential. One of the first decisions you’ll face: indoor or outdoor?

Each option has its own strengths, and the right choice depends on your industry, your brand, and the story you want your photo to tell.

Indoor Headshots: More Than Just a Blank Wall

When people think of indoor headshots, they often picture traditional studio setups with plain backdrops. While that classic look has its place, indoor portraits can go far beyond standard.

I specialize in two types of indoor headshots:

Studio-Style – Clean, consistent, and professional. Great for team photos and classic branding.

Environmental-Style – Captured in aesthetic office spaces or beautiful rentable locations with natural light, these portraits offer a polished but relaxed feel that blends professionalism with personality.

Benefits of Indoor Headshots:

• Controlled Environment: No wind, rain, or unexpected lighting.

• Versatile Background Options: From seamless backdrops to modern interiors with texture and depth.

• Natural Indoor Photography: Even inside, lighting is everything. I carefully craft each setup – wether using beautiful natural light or enhancing it with strobes – to ensure your portraits feel fresh, modern, and full of life, all without stepping outside.

• Ideal for Year-Round Shoots: No need to worry about the weather.

 

Outdoor Headshots: Fresh, Relatable, and Modern

Outdoor portraits offer a dynamic, approachable vibe that’s ideal for personal branding and creative professionals. Whether we’re shooting in a city park, against modern architecture, or using textured urban backdrops, outdoor headshots feel vibrant and current.

Benefits of Outdoor Headshots:

• Natural Light: Outdoor lighting can create beautiful, flattering results.

• Built-in Personality: From leafy greens to clean lines, the setting can help tell your story.

• Relaxed Feel: Outdoor settings often help people feel more at ease in front of the camera.

• Seasonal Charm: Use the changing seasons to your advantage—flowers in spring, golden tones in fall, or lush summer greens.

 

So, What’s the Best Option for You?

Ask yourself:

• What tone fits your brand?
  Clean and classic? Modern and warm? Polished but personable?

• What’s your work environment like?
  If your office or business space is visually compelling, a styled indoor session might be perfect.

• Where will the images be used?
  LinkedIn banners, website bios, speaking engagements—different platforms may benefit from different styles.
