Headshots at a Glance

As a New Orleans headshot photographer, I create relaxed, natural headshots for professionals, actors, and small business owners who want photos that actually look like them. Sessions happen in my garden studio in Mid-City, designed with women in mind and open to everyone, or on location at your office or a favorite spot around the city. I guide every pose, so no experience is needed.

Brand Photography

Brand photography is a suite of professional images that represent your business visually, and fit with your visual identity through their use of colors, tones, and your unique vibe. These can include photos of you, your team, your products, your process, your space and other things that make your business unique.

 

You will have an exclusive catalog of images that you can use for marketing, social media and more. If you are an entrepreneur in downtown New Orleans, Uptown, Garden District, or the greater NOLA metro area, we can create stunning images for all your marketing needs.

 

 

Professional Headshots

Maybe you have been using the same headshot forever, and it's starting to look outdated. Or maybe you never really loved that picture to begin with! This is your chance to get a photo of yourself that brings you confidence and show you at your very best. All captured in a fun and relaxed 25 minute session in New Orleans.

 

Everyone should have a photo of themselves that show your energy and passion in a flattering way. If you have been putting off having your photo taken because it makes you feel uncomfortable, I get it. My superpower is making even the most camera-shy person relax in front of my camera.

I also create natural, casting-ready headshots for actors and performing arts students.

 

Corporate Headshots

Everyone needs a great headshot that shows your personality and professionalism. The New Orleans Metro Area is a competitive market and a great headshot will help you stand out from the crowd. We will capture your personality and style to give you the advantage.

When looking for the right photographer to photograph your business, teams or employees, you will want a professional photographer who knows how to put people at ease, is efficient, creative and talented.

We know how to translate your brand and culture into modern portraits that make you stand out.

 

 

Jennifer was easy, efficient, friendly, and most importantly I walked away with a headshot I feel great about and that I have gotten tons of compliments on! She totally put me at ease and made me feel like I was looking my best the moment I walked into her studio, despite the fact that I had actually been feeling quite the opposite. In the twenty or so minutes that she photographed me, we were able to squeeze in several different backdrops so that I'd have some choice when selecting my photo(s). Post shoot and delivery of my selections, she very nicely accommodated my multiple requests for a crop here and a photoshop there. Jennifer was great to work with, and shot a fantastic portrait for me! - Ellie

What You Need to Know

HATE THE CAMERA?

You are not alone.

The first thing most women (and men) say to me is that they hate having their picture taken.

 

Perhaps that's why you have been putting off a branding or headshot session. Rest assured, I totally understand and have been there. But I also know how great it feel when it's all done and you have a great selection of images you can use across your website and on social media. Want to read more about how to feel great in front of the camera, check out my blog post Headshots for Women in New Orleans.

Here's what you don't need to worry about when you hire me.

1. Feeling awkward in front of the camera? That's not a problem when you have a professional telling you exactly how to turn, sit and walk for the most flattering and unposed looking pictures.

2. What to wear? I'm so glad you asked, that's one of the specifics we will be going over before your session.

3. Where to take pictures? I have so many suggestions on best time of day and place to make you pictures the best.

1.

Figure Out The Details

You and I will hop on a call to chat about a headshot session and answer any of your questions. We’ll discuss pricing and packages, best wardrobe choices, and location options. We’ll also chat about what you intend to use your headshots for, as this can influence the style and approach we take with your portraits.

Get Ready For Your Closeup

We’ll meet for a headshot session at the location of your photoshoot. This could be at your business, an open street market, a park, or a neighborhood —depending on the type of headshots we’re taking. I want to capture who you are in an environment that best represents this phase of your life.

Your Gallery Is Live

You’ll be able to check out your live headshots portrait gallery 7-14 days after our photo session. Each photo will be lightly touched-up. Additional retouching is available. You can select the pictures you love and purchase extra digitals and products from your gallery. All extra prints and products not included in your package are sold separately from the booking fee.

New Orleans Headshot Photography FAQ

How long is a headshot session?

Most professional headshot sessions are about 30 minutes, which is plenty of time to try a few looks and backgrounds without feeling rushed

 

I hate being photographed. Will this work for me?

Absolutely. Most of my clients say the same thing. I give simple, specific direction the whole time, so you never have to wonder what to do with your hands.

Where do headshot sessions take place?

You can choose my garden studio in Mid-City or an on-location session at your office or a spot around New Orleans that fits your brand. I designed the studio with women in mind, with a calm, comfortable space to get ready, but everyone is welcome.

Do you photograph actor headshots?

Yes. Actor headshots should look like you on your best day, so I keep them clean, natural, and true to the roles you go out for. We’ll plan your looks together before the session so you leave with options for your casting profiles.

What should I wear for my headshots?

Solid colors and simple necklines work best, and bring one or two options so we can switch looks. We’ll talk through wardrobe on our planning call so your photos fit how you’ll use them.

Are my headshots retouched?

Yes. Every photo gets a light touch-up, and additional retouching is available if you’d like it.

When will I get my headshots?

Your online gallery goes live within 7 to 14 days of your session.

Do you photograph teams and companies?

Yes. I photograph teams on location at your office, which keeps everyone’s headshots consistent and saves your staff a trip.
