2024 Summer Employee Party for Blessing Landscapes

Event Photography for Blessing Landscapes Employee Summer Event Party at their office location in Portland, Oregon photographed by our staff photographers, Erica and Jodhi.

The summer party event for the employees of Blessing Landscapes had several interactive ourdoor summer games each with prizes and extra raffle tickets to enter for prizes at the end.

The first game of the day was a chair balloon game where each team had to pop all their balloons by sitting on them.

Then was a soft bow and arrow game with a series to determine the winning team!

After the bow and arrow was lunch and then three more games. There was a egg dropping game, blower game and a water balloon fight to finish it off.

Not bad for a hot summer day!

New Headshot for Therapist at Pacific Center for Mind & Health

by | Jul 10, 2024 | Blog, Client Work, Headshot, Jodhi Mather-PIke Photographer

New Therapist Headshot for Tamara Randall with Pacific Center for Mind and Health

Pacific Center for Mind and Health selected our Basic Headshot Session which provides a 20 minute headshot session and one image selection from the proof gallery, to provide the company with a professional therapist headshot. We photographed Emily Padilla, another therpist at Pacific Center for Mind and Health and matched the headshots for consistancy on the website.

We photographed our client in our natural light studio, Studio Northwest, located in Portland, Oregon using our south facing window light and light modifiers.

Headshot photography by staff photographer Jodhi Mather-Pike.

Lighting Setup

We used window light from the large windows and V-flat light modifier to create shadow on both sides of Tamara’s face.

When using natural light the diffused light acts as a very large wide band of light like a 7 ft umbrella modifier for strobe photography. A trick we use when on site and natural light is not available.

Below is an example of our studio set up . The studio setup is using the large windows and v-flat modifier. An additional modifier is used during the session.

Tamara’s Image Selection

8×10 Crop Options

Social Media Square Options

Final Delivery

After Tamara made her image selection from the proof gallery and the final selection went through post production (retouching, cropping and formatting) an email with a download link will be sent.

Clients will receive Large Web and Print file formats in multiple cropping options delivered through Dropbox.

  • Print 12 inch long, 300dpi 5 MB

    Morgan Corporation Headshots and Group Photo

    Team Group Photo and Headshots for Morgan Corporation

    We photographed the team of Morgan Truck Body, the premier producer of truck and van bodies in North America for 72 years, at their Portland, Oregon office.

    Our client wanted to update their team’s headshots and create a team group photo so we used the new logo wall of their front office space as our on-site backdrop.

    “Morgan Corporation, the industry leader in the innovative design and production of quality truck bodies for more than 60 years, announces the opening of a new manufacturing facility in Portland, Oregon, expanding the company’s number of manufacturing, parts and service centers to 12 nationwide.” —Website

    Headquartered in Portland, OR, Morgan Truck body manufacture Class 3 to Class 7 (GVW) box truck and straight truck bodies to serve dry freight and refrigerated product markets, as well as a wide range of specialty bodies to serve farmers, ranchers, contractors, landscapers and more.

    For our headshot lighting set up we used a 5ft umbrella with a diffuser on a b10 strobe flash head. For the group photo we added a second light with a 3 ft modifier. The reflective logo wall and low ceiling height was solved by placing two lights 6 feet from the ground and apart. Using the same equipment will allow for future headshot and group sessions to blend seamlessly with the photos already made.

    “Iron Bridge is committed to the belief that to be successful as a lender, they must be genuinely interested in the success of their borrowers.” —Website

    Headquartered in Portland, OR, Iron Bridge Lending is a private money lender offering funding in 10 states across the country.

    Best Studio Backgrounds for Professional Headshots

    Best Studio Backgrounds for Professional Headshots

    Book Your Session

    What are the best tips for choosing a background for a headshot at a studio?

    In this guide we will show some of our studio background options.

    Our Studio Background Headshot Guide

    Studio backgrounds can have a big impact on the overall look and feel of the photo. It’s important to choose a background that will make you stand out and look professional. In this guide we will show some of our studio background options.

    Let’s explore some of the best backgrounds to consider in the studio for your professional headshot.

    Examples of our studio backgrounds in this guide

    1. White or Gray Background
    2. Black Textured Wall
    3. Burnt Orange Wall
    4. Light Green Wall
    5. “Office” Setup Background
    6. “Greenery” Setup Background
    7.  Any Color Background Option (made post production)

    Below we show examples of each of our most popular studio backgrounds for some of our clients. Depending on their needs we customized their background to match either their exsisting headshots or to make new ones.

    Pro Tip: Background colors can be endless. We can change the color in the post production process to your desired brand color.

    What are the best studio backgrounds for professional headshots?

    In our Natural Light Studio located in NW Portland, Oregon, we photograph with a white background for most of our headshots. Depending on the client’s needs, we can desaturate the background, add a gradient, or change the color completely.

    Studio backgrounds can provide a solid-color for your professional headshots. For corporate photos the most commonly used color are shades of gray. Shades of gray are clean, classic and suitable for most industries and work great with social media and website layouts.

    Questions to consider when deciding on a studio background:

    • What background set up or color works with my business?
    • If I don’t know can my photographer suggest a background color?
    • What background colors or textures does my industry use?
    • Does my company already have an existing background color?
    • What colors am I wearing? Will the background wash me out or contrast with the colors I’ve chosen?

    Pro tip: Know what your headshot will be used for before you decide on the look you want.

    1. Classic White and Gray Wall Option

    Client Background: Studio light gray

    Our client, TCA, Tyee Carr Advisory were photographed in our studio with natural light as our light source. We used the classic white wall backdrop for these headshots in our Natural Light Studio located in northwest Portland, Oregon.

    Headshot session for author Loren Pankratz PhD.

    We photographed Loren in his library of collected books on-site at his home. We used a 2 light set up, one 7 foot umbrella as the main light source and a single light in the back of the long library hall with a 3 foot umbrella.

    Loren is a former consultation psychologist at the Portland VA Medical Center and retired professor in the department of psychiatry at Oregon Health & Science University.

    He is a book collector and writer who specializes in the history of deception, swindles, cons and magic. Although not a practitioner of these disciplines his background as a doctor of phycology allows him to delve into how belief works.

    He has published several books Patients Who Deceive, Mysteries and Secrets Revealed: From Oracles at Delphi to Spiritualism in America and Modern Swindles: A Romp through early 20th century Con-games, Frauds, and Fallacies.

    View our 2024 headshot guide to company team headshots.

    Learn about what they are, how to get company headshots that match, what makes a good company team headshot, how to prepare for your headshot, choosing backgrounds, posing, how much company headshots cost, and tips on coordinating with your team prior to the session. 

    What Are Company 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.

    Creating staff headshots with the team at Erica J Mitchell Photographer allows for consistant lighting and backdrops for companies updating over time or onboarding new employees to their team. Returning headshot clients recieve an automatic 10% off future bookings.

    Why is it Important for Companies to Have a Team Headshots that Match?

    Having headshots that match is important to provide consistency to your brand and website. Seamlessly coordinate your onboarding system by setting up new hires with headshots to match the existing team.

    Booking for updated or new hire headshots that match allows for the headshots on the website to look consistent as if they were all photographed at the same time. This allows for companies to onboard without the stress of making an old headshot work.

    For companies that are growing and hiring staff, consistent looking company headshots is key to a website presentation and the professionalism of your business.

    One option we offer to help headshots match is for the client to choose solid colored backgrounds retouched to each headshot. If there is already an established background, for example medium gray, the next new hires will get the same background color.

    Pro tip: Some company headshots are cropped funny or too warm toned or too cool toned compared to the other headshots. As a client at no charge, we offer to color match previous headshots to match new ones!

    What Makes a Good Company Team Headshot?

    A great company headshot reflects your professionalism as well as your personality. As a result, it’s critical to think about your photo’s settings, background, expression, attire, and poses.

    Consider a simple background and coordinate with your team for dressing for your industry or company brand. 

    Company team headshots that have the same background color, lighting and poses can showcase the unity of a company.

    Preparing to Take a Perfect Company Team Headshot

    Before your headshot session, ensure you’re well-rested, hydrated and allow for plenty of time to get ready. You’ll also want to pick out an outfit or two. Think comfort, and think layers. There is a changing area with mirrors for your outfits. If your clothes need it, a quick ironing goes a long way for your headshot.

    Consider getting a professional haircut or style and light makeup to enhance your features. If you are not used to a makeup and hair routine, consider giving yourself a few minutes to apply foundation and a quick style.

    Visit How To Prepare For A Headshot Session for more details.

    Choosing the Right Company Team Headshot Background

    The background of a company team headshot should be simple and uncluttered, allowing the focus to remain on the subject. Studio backgrounds can provide a solid-color for your professional headshots

    In our Natural Light Studio located in NW Portland, Oregon, we photograph with a white background for most of our headshots. Depending on the client’s needs, we can desaturate the background, add a gradient, or change the color completely.

    A neutral color that complements the subject’s attire and the company’s brand colors is often a good choice.

    We can customize the background color to match your brand.

      How to Pose for Company Team Headshots

      Posing for a company headshot should reflect your professionalism and confidence. During your sessions we will go through a few poses standing or sitting,

      Pro Tip: Sit on the edge of the seat to help you sit up straight, angle your body slightly towards the camera, and remember to smile naturally. Decide ahead of time if you’d like to show teeth or none at all, or both.

      The aim for your company headshot is to reflect your role within the company and to look approachable and trustworthy. One thing we keep in mind while posing during your session is, your pose should be consistent with the other members of your company when they’ll be shown side by side on the website or other digital platforms such as social media.

      We offer group headshot sessions for companies seeking new or updated headshots of their employees and teams.

      Coordinating for Company Team Headshots

      What is the best way to coordinate group headshot sessions with the photographer?

      Typically headshot sessions are coordinated 2-3 people every 15 minutes, or one person every 10 minutes. We like to schedule in blocks of 3 hour sessions for groups over 40. For example, we’d book 12 people each hour for 3 hours and take a 15 minute break, then repeat.

      We found there are two types of ways to help a coordinator manage headshot sessions for teams.

      One method is using Sign Up Sheets. Sign up sheets are great and help the subjects know when to arrive, although sometimes people are late. It’s helpful for the coordinator to be able to find someone if they don’t arrive to their scheduled time. Plan to have people sign up for every 10 minutes. Please provide a copy of the teams names their email addresses for putting together proof galleries after the sessions.

      Another method we call, Tag . Some coordinators will either have the subject that finishes up get the next person, or they will go get the next person when one is done. The Tag technique is great for getting people one right after the other and sessions can go more quickly. When this style is used our team can bring their own sign up sheet so we know who went in what order.

      How long do you need for each headshot? 

      Sometimes we only need 2-5 minutes with a subject, sometimes up to 10 minutes, it usually depends on the comfort level of a subject. Some folks need more time in front of the camera. We don’t usually go over 10 minutes. But we like to over guess how much time for the sessions just in case we need to move lights or adjust for anything. For example, if we are moving pretty fast, it’s possible we could do 12 headshots within 1.5 hours.

      Common Questions for Company Team Headshots

      What do we get with our company team headshots session?

      Each person will have a 5-10 minute session that includes one image selection from the proof gallery received by email to each person or Point Of Contact (POC) a couple days after the session.

      The proof gallery will have between 4-8 images to select from. After the one selection is made, the images is then edited and formatted for print and web. The images are then delivered to each recipient or the POC for quick and easy use!
