A Professional Headshot is the Perfect Way to Give Your Business a Refresh

New headshot, who dis?! I love helping small business owners to update, or launch, their brand. You are the face of your business and a professional headshot is a must! You never know when you might need one, whether it’s for an online directory, in a print advertisement, or on social media. You should have photos that represent the creativity and passion behind your brand.

Jessica Larkin is a Sonoma based landscape designer, who is owner, operator for, JL Landscape Designs, with an eye for beauty and sustainability. We met in downtown Sonoma to take her headshots recently, and the Plaza made the most exquisite background for photos. Jessica’s natural beauty was the perfect pairing with the gorgeous surroundings of this historical landmark.

There are so many great photo ops around the Plaza. Rustic doorsteps, alleys lined in bougainvillea, brick buildings – there is no shortage of charm hidden all around the beloved Square.

If you’re a business owner and have been wondering how to increase visibility or grow your brand, maybe it’s time to consider taking some headshots. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when planning a session:

Choose a location that gives your brand a voice and helps you connect with your customers.

Pick an outfit or two that makes you feel great.

Bring your products to incorporate into the photoshoot.

Have fun!

Take a peek at Jessica’s gallery for some design inspiration, and reach out to her if you’re looking to give your outdoor space an upgrade!
