How a 90-Person Headshot Session Became a Team-Building Game-Changer

Ever wonder how a simple headshot session could bring a team closer? Recently, I photographed 90 people for a client, but with a twist—each person got one ‘wild card’ shot to show off their quirky side. What started as just a fun idea turned into a day of laughs, friendly competition, and real connections. This lighthearted addition did more than capture great photos; it brought the team together and created memories they’ll carry beyond the workplace. Here’s how a little humor can make a big difference for team morale and connection!

The Headshot Packages We Offer and What They Feature

So if you’ve been thinking about getting some headshots done or just need some new social content, hit me up, I’d love to help!

Why I frame your Headshots the way I do.

A lot of clients ask why we frame and shoot the way we do. Many come from the old days where headshots were shot in portrait orientation and don’t quite get why we now do it in landscape orientation… let me explain.

Editing on a headshot :: My Philosophy

So there it is! My complete editing and retouching philosophy. It’s actually really simple, takes a bit of time, but simple non-the-less. I believe in real images, real people and not too much photoshop shenanigans.

When people look at your headshot, then meet you, the last thing you want is a knee-jerk reaction like: “wow, that’s not you”. So, over the years I’ve really narrowed down my skill as a retoucher and developed a list of things I won’t do to a headshot. In the image above you can see the result off all that work.

New Year, New Headshot :: My experience updating my branding for 2018

I'll be the first to admit that I sometimes struggle with "getting started" in that department. This year I vowed to be a doer, an early starter, a mover and to do those things I've been putting off. So in the spirit of that, I went into the studio today to reshoot my personal branding and to update the branding we use for Boem Headshots.
