      I had an exceptional experience with Desired Focus Photography! I needed a professional headshot quickly for a press release, and they went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule. They not only managed to schedule the shoot and complete the touch-up in the same day, but the final photo was absolutely outstanding. The team was professional, friendly, and efficient, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Their excellent communication and responsiveness truly stood out, ensuring I had exactly what I needed on time. I highly recommend Desired Focus Photography for their high-quality work and top-notch customer service. They exceeded my expectations in every way!
    • Sarah is an amazingly gifted photographer. Her approach to capturing light and the spirit of her subjects is immediately recognizable! My session with her was preceeded by a time of preparation before the big day. Sarah took a good amount of time with me to browse my closet, discuss my aspirations for the photo shoot and learn about my values. The day arrived and I felt prepared, confident and truly beautiful as I went through hair and makeup with her talented partner, and Sarah looked over and setup my outfit and jewelery changes. Once we were ready to begin shooting the photos, it was ON! Sarah showed me the photos as we took them, which helped me to adjust my stance, facial expressions, and angles to capture the most fabulous sides of myself! I have to share that it was a terribly difficult decision deciding which photos to purchase, as Sara had captured so many amazing shots that I wanted to keep! I can't recommend Sarah more highly. I was married to and worked as a photographer for about 7 years, and have a deep technical appreciation for what makes a great photo. Sarah has the goods!

      I was searching for a photographer to shoot my family's photos, something we hadn't done professionally in several years. To our good fortune we found Desired Focus! Sarah is so lovely and a delight to work with, from the first introductory call to finalizing the details. Not only are her photos stunning, but she captures truth and personality. It's hard to pick a favorite! We couldn't be more pleased with our results, photos that our family will cherish for a lifetime. My husband also needed a business headshot and he looks so sharp! Thank you, Sarah!

    Professional Headshots – FAQ’s

    A headshot is a high-quality photograph typically used for official purposes such as company websites, LinkedIn profiles, business cards, and promotional materials.

    It focuses on the individual’s head and shoulders, displaying a polished appearance suitable for the business environment. The subject usually looks directly at the camera, offering a clear, confident expression that conveys professionalism and approachability. The background is often neutral or subtly textured to keep the focus on the person’s face.

    In professional and business headshots, the expressions people choose are generally tailored to convey professionalism and approachability. Common expressions include:

    1. Neutral: A calm and composed look, neither smiling nor frowning, which can be perceived as professional and serious.
    2. Friendly Smile: A gentle, modest smile that can make the individual seem more approachable and warm, suitable for client-facing roles or service industries.
    3. Confident Smile: A more pronounced smile that projects confidence and energy, often used by executives, sales professionals, or anyone aiming to convey leadership and positivity.

    A high quality headshot can benefit a wide variety of professionals across many fields, especially in today’s digital and visually oriented world. Here are some key groups that particularly benefit from having a professional headshot:

    1. Corporate Executives and Employees: For anyone in a corporate setting, a professional headshot can enhance the look of business profiles, company websites, and promotional materials, lending credibility and a polished image.
    2. Entrepreneurs and Business Owners: For those running their own business, a professional headshot can help establish their brand and make a strong impression on potential clients, partners, and investors.
    3. Creative Professionals: Artists, writers, designers, and musicians can use headshots in their portfolios and on social media to create a personal connection with their audience and present a professional image.
    4. Actors and Models: For these professions, a headshot is an essential part of the job application process, as it serves as a primary tool for casting directors and agencies to assess their suitability for roles.
    5. Legal and Healthcare Professionals: Lawyers, consultants, doctors, and therapists can use professional headshots on their websites and in directories to convey trustworthiness and professionalism to potential clients and patients.
    6. Academics and Educators: Professors, researchers, and teachers can use headshots for publications, academic profiles, and conference materials to establish authority and a professional appearance.
    7. Real Estate Agents: Since their business is largely built on trust and professionalism, having a high-quality headshot can help real estate agents connect better with potential clients.

    In essence, almost any professional who interacts with others through digital or print media can benefit from a professional headshot, as it helps to humanize and elevate their professional presence.

    People often get multiple business headshots with different expressions to suit various professional scenarios.

    For example, a lawyer might use a neutral expression for official profiles but a friendly smile for brochures or promotional content. Similarly, a real estate agent might prefer a confident smile across all platforms to appear engaging and trustworthy to potential clients. This versatility allows individuals to tailor their image to different audiences and communication contexts.
