Headshots and Team Photos: a Professional Home Organizing Company
As a personal branding photographer, one of my greatest joys is helping small business owners and their teams showcase their professionalism and personality. Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Tracy, the owner of House’N Order, a professional home organizing company serving Blue Mountains and Southern Georgian Bay. Tracy understands the importance of building trust with her clients and wanted to update her team’s headshots and capture a fresh team photo to reflect her brand’s friendly, high-energy vibe.
Here’s a glimpse behind the scenes of this fun and collaborative photoshoot, along with the beautiful images we captured.
Planning the Photoshoot: A Focus on Cohesion and Energy
Tracy wanted the photos to represent her team’s approachability and professionalism, which play a significant role in their client relationships. We collaborated to ensure the session was well-planned and aligned with her branding goals.
Step 1: Setting the Tone
- Cohesive Branding: Tracy requested her team wear matching black t-shirts featuring the company logo, ensuring a unified and professional appearance.
- Friendly and Relaxed Vibes: We planned relaxed poses with plenty of smiles and laughter to convey the team’s high energy and positive spirit.
Step 2: Choosing the Right Setup
- Clean White Background: To keep the focus on the team and align with the company’s clean and organized aesthetic, we opted for a simple white background.
- Professional Lighting: We used soft, diffuse lighting to create a bright and polished look, ensuring the images would work well across the company’s marketing materials.
The Photoshoot: Bringing Personality to Professionalism
On the day of the shoot, Tracy and her team arrived full of energy, ready to bring their best to the camera.
Individual Headshots
Each team member was photographed individually, with plenty of guidance on how to pose naturally.
We focused on relaxed yet confident poses, ensuring that everyone looked approachable and friendly.
Subtle variations in posture and expression kept the headshots authentic and engaging.
Team Photo
For the team photo, we arranged the group in a slightly staggered formation to create a dynamic and natural composition.
We encouraged the team to interact, laugh, and enjoy themselves, resulting in a photo that truly captured their camaraderie.
The Results: Authentic and Cohesive Team Imagery
The final images perfectly reflect Tracy’s brand values: trust, professionalism, and approachability.
Headshots: Clean, polished images that highlight each team member’s friendly and confident demeanor.
Team Photo: A vibrant, cohesive image showcasing the team’s unity and positive energy.
These photos are now key elements of Tracy’s branding, helping her connect with potential clients and showcase her team’s professionalism and dedication.
