“Erica is very professional and made me feel at ease during the shoot, which resulted in great photos. She had great suggestions along the way and took the time to get things right, encouraged me to change outfits – which made a huge difference – and was proactive with angles / coaching me on which way to move to get the best result. Highly recommend!”

Brittney H.

I found Erica Mitchell and am happy to say I would recommend her to anyone in search of professional headshot photography. Her wealth knowledge and the talent she possesses in immeasurable. She has a beautiful studio conveniently located that provided an abundance of natural light making the process all the better. I am actively referring her to anyone looking for this style of service.”

However, Erica was a wonderful coach, her energy made the entire process so easy and actually enjoyable. Not only do I love my final photos, but I have already received many compliments on them. You won’t regret booking with Erica.”

What are team headshots?

Team headshots are individual professional mini photography sessions to capture the individuals of a company. Use team headshot sessions to update your company’s website or to onboard new hires. These sessions require two staff members for team headshot pricing. Team headshots are created in our studio, outdoors or on-site at the client’s office for easy coordination.

Behind the Scenes Lighting

Our strobe flash lighting set up on-site

Behind the scenes look at our lighting set up for shooting BKC headshots on-site at their office in Beaverton, Oregon.

For our lighting we used a single strobe flash setup with a 5ft umbrella modifier and a white background behind the subject. We used a single white V-flat to fill light and flag modifier card to block any artifical light coming in from the side, our posing stool and apple boxes.

Retouching and adding backgrounds

Included in the price of the headshot is the session, studio rental and one image selection from the proof gallery, unless you select a invidual session like the Classic. All selections from the proof gallery are retouched for final delivery.

Our client requested a solid colored background to match the branding and website.
