Making Team Headshots Fun: The Power of Posing with Pets

Team headshots can be lots of fun and bring out each individual personality, especially when you bring along your best friend! I recently took outside headshots of a local company for their website and marketing materials. After all the serious shots were taken, we had everyone snuggle in and pose with their dog. You can see how powerful their connections are in how relaxed and happy everyone looks! I love how this series turned out - it’s absolutely adorable!

Capturing your team’s personality: Outdoor headshot session for the whole Company, Tualatin Headshot Photographer

I recently had the pleasure of photographing headshots for a firm in Tigard. They requested individual photos of their employees in an outdoor setting, and over several days, we captured each person. The result was a cohesive collection of images that reflect the personality of each team member while maintaining a harmonious look. I think they turned out great!

I’m always happy to travel to your location, meet at a local park, or use my studio for your company headshots. If you’re interested in updating your professional images, please reach out!.

Fall is the perfect season to capture you with the beautiful colors of autumn as your backdrop. Whether you want vibrant leaves, an urban photoshoot in Portland, or something else, we can create a personalized session that highlights your unique style and personality.

What to Expect from Your Fall Senior Session

Once we schedule a date, we’ll meet for a short consultation to talk about ideas for your shoot. I love working together to plan something that feels authentic to who you are. We’ll go over outfit ideas (typically 2-3 looks) and locations that bring out the best in you. The shoot itself lasts up to 2 hours, giving us plenty of time to capture a variety of poses and vibes, from fun and carefree to classic and elegant.

Have a favorite hobby or sport? Great! Bring along props and I’ll help showcase your passion!

You can check out some examples of my previous work in my Senior Gallery. I can’t wait to help you create photos you’ll love for years to come!

Riley's Senior Photos, West Linn Senior Photographer

One of the things I love about Senior Photography is talking to people about their interests, hobbies, and passions. I try to incorporate their loves into their senior photos. Riley is such an awesome young man who loves the outdoors, birdwatching, and volunteering at local parks. He has spent a lot of time giving back to our local parks, pulling out invasive weeds, and helping to maintain the health of our woods. I’m loving all the looks Riley brought to his shoot and especially his happy spirit - I just love his photos.

He looks like an all-around handsome outdoorsman! Thank you for all you do, Riley, and enjoy the rest of your summer!

Ally's Senior Photos, West Linn Senior Photographer

It's time to share Ally's blog with her; here are a few beautiful shots from her senior shoot. We had so much fun, she brought her music, her cowboy hat & her sweet dog too. So many awesome photos! I can’t get enough of those cowgirl boots and hat!

Kayla and Jenna, West Linn Portrait Photographer

These sweet sisters surprised their Mom with the gift of portraits for Mother’s Day. We headed out to the park on a rare sunny spring day and laughed and played in the grass. I love the dandelion flowers in their hair! The photo shoot was great fun, and I know their Mom appreciated their thoughtful gift and will treasure these photos for always. Nicely done, Kayla and Jenna, you made your Mom proud!
