Choosing between my Northville photography studio or another location

With your headshot and branding session you have the option of using my home photography studio in Northville or we can go on-location! Should you go with the clean, polished look of the studio? Or is their a location that reflects your personality and business environment? The best choice really depends on what will work best for you! Let me breakdown the differences for you.

Studio Headshots & Branding Portraits

A shoot in the studio can be clean and modern and is a blank slate for us to create your images.

Why clients love the studio:

  • Flexibility: No need to worry about weather (rain, cold, wind, etc) or time of day and ideal lighting.
  • Clean Backgrounds: Neutral backgrounds keep the focus on you. This makes your images versatile for LinkedIn, websites, and professional bios.
  • Efficient: Studio sessions are distraction free. No need to worry about securing a location or dealing with people in public spaces.
  • Timeless & Professional: If you need a straightforward, polished headshot that will work across different platforms, the studio is a go to!

On-Location Branding Portraits

On-location sessions let the environment help tell your story.

Why clients love on-location shoots:

  • Custom Backdrops: Whether it’s your office, a local coffee shop, downtown Ann Arbor, or outdoors in Northville, your location helps tell your story.
  • Lifestyle Feel: These sessions tend to feel natural, perfect for showing clients what it’s like to work with you.
  • Brand Personality: Your surroundings can subtly communicate your brand’s values.
  • Variety of Looks: With multiple background options, you’ll have a mix of professional and lifestyle images to use across your website, social media, and marketing.
