“If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.”
Michelle is the new CEO of her family’s furniture company Lorts in Goodyear, and wanted headshots that were fun, pretty, relaxed, and approachable! With her irresistible laugh and beautiful smile, she projects the joy and pride of doing what you love. Because Lorts Furniture is known for its warm hospitality and beautiful style, it made perfect sense to meet up at Michelle’s home- which is, of course, unbelievable gorgeous and furnished completely with her companies’ craftsmanship! What better way to get welcoming, friendly environmental headshots than surrounded by the work of her company?
Lorts Manufacturing was founded in 1966 by Andy Lorts who was operating a small independent furniture store in Phoenix. In 1984, Andy’s son Mike bought the company, and in 2005, Mike sold the company to his son, Ty, and his wife Michelle, ensuring that 3 generations of Lorts would run the company. The company has since moved to its current Goodyear, Arizona manufacturing facility. Lorts has also made a name in custom furniture, either from a rough sketch or a simple modification of an existing item. In 2010, Lorts began to sell wood exposed upholstery, allowing for its beautiful wood finishes to be combined with fine seating choices. Lorts has also earned a reputation for having some of the best customer service in the industry. The Lorts family and the more than 100 Lorts employees ensure each piece is worthy of the Lorts name and tradition: furniture passed down from generation to generation because of quality and style that transcends time, fashion and fads. And now Michelle has taken the helm as CEO insuring that Lorts will continue to be successful and gorgeous.

Why environmental business portraits appeal to clients:
I offer three styles of headshots to clients- all professionally lit, beautifully retouched, and ready for use in newsletters, websites, and company profiles as well as cards, email signatures, postcards, flyers, mailers, and social media platforms-you name it!
The type of style of professional portrait you choose says a lot about your personality and what you do- which helps people develop an instant relationship with you. The reason clients find environmental headshots so appealing is… they make you look like the real person you are. You in your element, on the job, working towards goals.
The environment can be anywhere you do the work, a garage, a conference room, a Doctors office, a salesroom floor, your workspace or desk, or a warm welcoming home full of beautiful furniture like Michelle chose!
When a client is choosing your work- they want the confidence that they will be taken care of. They react positively to an image of someone on the job surrounded by the tools of their trade so much because they can actually visualize what happens, and how you will meet their needs! We trust what we see with our own eyes.
Project the confidence and ability to land and impress clients with headshots that illustrate both your personality and the work you do! Brand your company with your personality!
