First and foremost, a professional photographer has the skills, expertise, and equipment needed to create a high-quality image that accurately reflects your unique personality and style. They also have a keen eye for detail and understand how to use lighting, posing, and other techniques to create a visually stunning image.

Additionally, working with a professional ensures a personalized experience tailored to your unique needs. They take the time to understand you, your goals, and what you want to convey, crafting an image that not only looks great but also truly represents who you are. In fact, it’s not uncommon for clients to select their favorite shots from the last five minutes of a one-hour session—because that’s often how long it takes to fully relax, feel at ease, and naturally embody the image they want to project.

The Process of Creating a Great Headshot

At my [home-temporary, until I rent a suitable place] studio, creating a great portrait starts with getting to know you and understanding your specific needs and goals- this allows me to create a shoot tailored to your unique style and preferences.

Before the shoot, we will discuss wardrobe options, makeup, and other details to ensure that you look and feel your best. We will also discuss the style and tone of the image to ensure that it accurately reflects your professional brand.

During headshots sessions, I sometimes ask the partner of the client to join for a fun few photographs, to serve as a memory of the two visiting my photography studio in Mexico City

During the shoot, I will use professional equipment and the latest techniques to create a stunning image that is both professional and approachable. I will guide you through the posing and ensure that the lighting is just proper to create an image that is both visually remarkable and authentic to who you are.

After the shoot, you will receive a selection of images to choose from your favorites. We will then work together to select the best images and make any necessary retouching adjustments to ensure that the final product is polished and professional. Or, hand it all over to me, and I will only give you what I consider the best images.

What to Expect from Your Corporate Headshot Session

When booking a headshot session, there are a few important details to keep in mind to ensure you get the best results.

Hair and Makeup

A professional hair and makeup artist (HMUA) is not included in the session. However, I can provide recommendations if you’d like to book a separate HMUA to enhance your look.

Studio Options

You have the option to shoot in my home studio in Polanco, which eliminates the additional fee for a mobile studio setup. If you prefer an on-location session, let’s discuss the logistics to best suit your needs.

Choosing Your Background

One of the key elements in your headshot is the background. I typically favor a black background, as seen in my work for BDO CMC—many of their members even used these images for their LinkedIn profiles. However, depending on how you plan to use your photos, a white or grey background might be a better fit. Let me know your preference!

Session Duration and Image Selection

A standard session lasts about an hour, which is usually enough to capture a variety of headshot options. I include up to six final images, but if you’d like more, additional photos can be purchased. Bringing multiple outfits is also a great way to add variety to your session.
