Nancyrae, Speaker and Bank Professional | Phoenix Headshots by Anjeanette Photography

Make sure that the picture you send to a conference is going to make you and them look professional, informed, and brilliant.

Nancyrae was looking for fresh headshots prior to a speaking engagement in Hawaii.

She wanted professional portraits that worked for corporate use, yet equally warm and welcoming for networking on LinkedIn. She also wanted a bright, appealing photo that showed her gorgeous smile for convention flyers, booklets, and website use for her visit to the Aloha state! I met up with Nancyrae at her office in downtown Tempe, and after quickly setting up the of background and lights in a medium meeting room across the hall from her workspace we got her 20 mins worth of well lit and business headshot photos. So fast she was back to work in less than 30mins total.

I can conveniently meet you at your office, workspace, or you can visit my studio space in North Phoenix for fast portraits, and fast turnaround. Communicate your professionalism and covey your approachability to bosses, potential clients, investors, or collaborators immediately in a visual way.

Confidence is your best accessory | Phoenix Professional Headshots

A great customer experience consists of small details and one of the most important is the smile. This simple action can have a dramatic impact on the way you relate to a customer and the impression that this will give about your brand. A smile costs you nothing, but if you don’t offer one you can lose all when it comes to your customers. A good smile can even increase confidence by up to 10%! It helps build a good first impression of your business; a customer will always prefer to do business with someone who is happy.

Great session with Ashley and Jared this month. Fun couple, super relaxed and ready to smile!

After a quick 20 minute session including a few outfit changes they were off to play on a golfing date.

Easy, breezy…oh wait thats someone else’s jingle. Well anyway, Ashley & Jared made it an ideal session!

Now, this good looking power couple didn’t have to worry about taking a bad photo, for most of us however it can cause anything from mild concern to near panic attacks when getting our photograph taken. Regardless of not if there is any truth in the perception that you are “unphotogenic” (seriously- almost everyone tells me this and none of you have been right about it yet!)

The first thing we see in a picture of ourself is a laundry list of perceived faults. I always say, getting your picture made can be VULNERABLE! I want to earn your trust so that you believe me when I say nobody sees what you think is a fault when they look at your portraits (who would want to be around anyone who was looking for the worst anyway?) The first things people see in a headshot is your SMILE, and they don’t care if you think one tooth is a little bigger than the rest. They see in a split second if its a fake smile, and they write off fake overly airbrushed skin even faster. Show your genuine smile and earn their trust. Earn their business with a laugh and smiles that reach the eyes!

WHAT TO WEAR FOR A SUCCESSFUL HEADSHOT PORTRAIT? | ANJEANETTE PHOTOGRAPHY PHOENIX AZ

In the most successful headshot images,

attire is simple with well-fitting lines and has neutral colors.

best headshots phoenix business portraits professional pictures arizona

Classic examples are dress shirts and blouses, with or without ties. Blazers, Sports Jackets, and suits...really consider what you wear to work. What are you wearing when you greet clients? Or to events, opening, concerts, and shows? What you wear in your headshot should be recognizable in person, yet not take away from your face. SO yes, it is both neutral and identifiable. I know I know...did I just contradict myself?

For example, a tuxedo would be overkill if you normally meet with employers and employees in a great Ann Loft sweater and tee. Are you on-brand in company logo tees? Do you show up to galleries in eclectic shawls and fantastic art piece jewelry? What about paint-splattered jeans and tailored shirts? Your headshot should also convey your professional personality. Start with a favorite top item, and in your session, we can run through 2-3 different top choices ranging from fancy to casual. Starting in a favorite piece will help you feel comfortable. And unless you want a full-body shot- don't worry about shoes. Wear flip flops, heels, sneakers, or heck be barefoot if it helps you feel relaxed. Nobody will know and I won't tell! For more example of what folks are wearing in headshots head over to my website and look through the images:

Or wear your uniform! For some, the uniform is a specific company issued uniform, for others it is the outfit you were when you get the job done- and that speaks volumes to potential clients.

best headshots phoenix business portraits professional pictures arizona

Patterns are fine- only avoid very tint stripes or houndstooth. large stripes and patterns are fine but small ones can create optical illusions called moire on images. Bold bright colors may express your image, skin tone, and what you do best, The only colors I ask you to avoid are coral and hot pink. orange is fine, pink is fine. when combined the result is not flattering to most skins

no coral.jpg

Because what should stand out is YOU:

YOU are your business’s image.

Why do visual and musical artists need professional headshots? Because your work, your brand is a business- and you want to be taken seriously by fans, galleries, publications, and more! But what artist wants a stuffy old fashioned portrait of their face that says nothing about what they create?

Environmental headshots are a fantastic way to break out of the box and tell the story of your business in a real and fun way. For visual and recording artists this is vital to connect them to their fans. A headshot isn’t just a picture of your face- they can tell a story of your art, what you do, what values matter to you, why your company is different, and why folks should choose your work. And its important that they match your brand!

Environmental Headshots are great for artists websites, press releases, Artlist & Daisie profile pics, Etsy about me info, blogs, business cards, LinkedIn, and any media you can imagine.

Rylee Mcguire Student Doctor | Peoria Arizona Headshots | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix

Had a great session with Student Doctor Rylee McGuire here in Peoria, Arizona. As a medical student Rylee is interested in osteopathic medicine, a distinct branch of medicine in the U.S. emphasizing the interrelated unity of all systems in the body, each working with the other to heal in times of illness. She has a calm easy demeanor and a fantastic smile, which makes me so happy for her future patients!

They will be in excellent hands.

A Student Doctor’s application headshot is one the most important photos of your career, it puts a face and shows attention to detail the evaluating doctors look for in your application. It’s not about how you physically ‘look’- it’s about the effort you took to get more than an easy snapshot on a phone. Your grades and work are most important obviously, but if the decision is between two applicants you have to consider anything that can give them reason to think twice about you. The fact that you took the extra step to obtain a professional, polished image, at your time and expense adds value to your application presentation!

Having a high-quality headshot when applying for a medical residency program is vital to being accepted.

According to Forbes magazine, regardless of the business you are in, a blurry, low-quality or poorly cropped photo can convey sloppiness and a lack of attention to detail.

We realize that there’s absolutely no relationship between practicing medicine and having a good headshot, but many viewers equate a bad headshot to poor service, e.g. “if this doctor doesn’t care what his/her headshot looks like, why would they care about my problem?” A quality headshot makes a physician more personable. Patients want to relate to their doctors, which in turn fosters a sense of trust.

Approachable, energetic, and charismatic smile- a winning combination to make your best first impression. And everything your looking for in an acting or modeling headshot!

Zoe has all of these characteristics and more, her “Anne Hathaway” smile is cool and vibrant, only surpassed by a fantastic laugh and bubbly personality. She is sure to take her dreams to reality with her determination, and I look forward to seeing her light up the world someday!

Zoe and her family approached me for a great headshot as suggested by their agency- and I always say great kids = great portraits. A headshot from Anjeanette Photography gives people an idea of your personality before they meet you, especially important when social media marketing and brand presence influences a casting director or agency’s decision to hire! These portraits are used to quickly decide whom to hire for work in a production or campaign. Talent agents use these photos as a way to quickly decide if they want to work with an actor as a client. Therefore, models & actors of every level require an excellent professional photo to be taken seriously. A pro headshot is a simple first audition!

Your headshot should show casting directors both the intangibles and tangibles of you as an actor: how you look on camera, your essence, your energy, and personality.
— PIYALI SYAM, for Backstage.com

WHAT TO WEAR TO AN ACTING HEADSHOT

You should stand out- not your outfit. Keep outfits and clothing simple with neutral tones like classic greys and blacks, or high contrast colours that flatter your complexion. Avoid busy distracting patterns. Freshly pressed, properly fitted, clean clothes of course!

Makeup should be neutral and minimal so that agencies and directors can see YOU.

Remember its a simple photo. Expert lighting of your facial structure is important- your personal fashion style is not (save that for a different meeting!)

When deciding whether or not to smile or not I advise thinking about what roles or campaigns you intend to pursue. Do some research and be ready “in character”. I take a variety of big smiles to neutral and intense looks- but I have to say people are absolutely drawn to a big warm smile! When you book with me your sessions include three edited images so you may choose a variety. However, you can also go ahead and additionally purchase all the images on your finished portrait gallery so that you have lots of different looks on hand!

Congratulations Tony Williams on your new position with

true face of any business is the people. 

He cares about establishing relationships with clients in business, knowing that seeing the person you're doing business with is essential to forming long-lasting connections.

Tony’s winning smile is sure to win them over! He is confident which is immeasurably valuable in banking - and he did a fantastic job projecting professionalism and friendliness that combined with his knowledge and skills gives the best first impression message to colleges and clients alike. A modern contemporary headshot like Tony’s is a worthwhile investment in success. Connect with Mr. Williams today on LinkedIn!

Having an updated headshot is crucial. The first that comes to mind is social media – your avatar is the first thing people see on your profile. Or, your current employer could request a headshot for their website or as part of a blog or social media post about you or written by you. Special company announcements or press releases may go out that require your headshot as well. Sending along a selfie or having your friend take a quick photo against a blank wall not only shows lack of preparation but a lack of professionalism as well. Having a high quality headshot ready to send at a moment’s notice shows you think ahead and represents who you are and your personality.

Had a fantastic session with Arrowhead Family Dentistry last week for Doctor's and Staff headshots! Everyone did an amazing job. I was so impressed by the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere- I usually have a bit of dental anxiety. Ok, I get a lot of dental office anxiety to the extent I get worried about even going to dentists offices! But everyone in the office was so easy going and friendly I was completely at ease.

Recently the Arrowhead Family has grown- new doctors, Drs. George and Natalia Hariri have joined Dr Grace Heir at the practice. Dr. Georige and Dr. Natalia were born and raised in Tucson, AZ and moved to the Glendale area to pursue their doctorate of dentistry degrees at Midwestern University.

These dentists all have the most gorgeous smiles, of course! Could anyone doubt it?
So glad Doctor's Natalia, George, and Grace from the Arrowhead Family Dentistry team choose Anjeanette Photography for headshots.

Nothing beats a sincere smile for making a positive impression! I was so happy to meet with Hui Wu Curtis of APS for her professional headshots a few weeks ago, her bright open smile was a perfect compliment to her customer service profession. She was getting updated pro photos to accompany a recent article she wrote on Shaping the Customer Experience (click here for article)

The immediate first impression is someone you can count on and trust, a person passionate about people and results as her LinkedIn profile says.

Later I was able to help put together a leadership team portrait session in just a few hours right in the convenience of the office.  

Anjeanette came in and did professional headshots for my entire leadership team. First wave, we had 25+ leaders and they all said they had a great time. She made the process very easy and captured everyone’s best look! The headshots all turned out absolutely wonderful and we are bringing her back to do another session for the rest of my leadership team. True professional with a great eye in capturing the best in people. Couldn’t be more pleased with the results and is a great way to compliment my team’s professional development. Thank you Anjeanette!

Do you make a positive unforgettable business impression?

Researchers out of Princeton University have found that people make judgments about such things as trustworthiness, competence, and likeability within a fraction of a second after seeing someone’s face.
— Psychology Today with News at Princeton

In fact, Princeton pschologists found that we make judgments about people within 100 milliseconds to seven seconds of meeting them. About the length of time you view a profile pictures as you scroll through the "people you may know" connection section on Linkedin.

Both Psychology Today and Donald Miller in his book Building a Storybrand have identified the importance of the ability to quickly recognize the expression on a strangers’ face and the intent- in essence, a good first impression was and still is a survival instinct!

A professional portrait that portrays the image that presents you in the best possible light is a must for creative businesses and successful entrepreneurs according to Peter Economy- a modern #professionalheadshot can immediately influence how well a business is perceived.

Invest in an image that will attract the right clients to your artistic or business endeavors! 

Make a great first impression that will take you beyond those first few seconds and on to gaining respect—and maybe even a new job or client.

While the term headshot is common in the acting, real estate, book author fields for promotion- not everyone in business use a corporate portrait as a reflection of professional character although they should! It's not just for marketing- it is a deliberate choice, of the career-oriented and myself, to create a portrait designed to put more effort and significance into how your work is perceived. 

Not a cropped phone snapshot from a friends wedding, or a selfie that while nicely lit and hitting all your angles are too casual. Those do not covey the perception that you're qualified. 

Say your scrolling through a Linked In “people to discover” list, who would you hire? Not based on attractiveness- but who looks trustworthy and professionally competent? Who looks like they put significant effort into their portrait- what would be an employee or company you would trust- the selfie or the professional headshot? Its the digital age and people WILL see your photo- you can control how others regard and appreciate you.

And because I have been crafting and improving my modern headshot since 2008, I already put the “significant effort” into Modern Business Portrait Headshots so you don’t have to! Including outfit and styling suggestions, even posing and expression coaching, in a positive way to help attain career goals.

Schedule with Anjeanette Photography, Phoenix and I’ll help you present your reliable reputation. You want YOUR portrait to be a visual representation of your businesses excellent reputation. I can help.
