Professional Headshots
Your dreams. Your goals. This is you.
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” – Oscar Wilde
You’ve been wanting that professional business headshot for your company website. You’re looking for whimsical and intense and demure images for your next audition. You’ve been needing a social media profile picture that leaves a great first impression.
Sometimes the place to get the perfect professional headshot is in the studio. Studio photography provides many benefits such as total control of the elements (no rain, no wind, no shivering), fewer distractions (no waiting for other people to vacate the area) and convenience (no getting up at the crack of dawn to get the perfect light). This creates a tranquil environment for you to feel relaxed, comfortable and ready for your closeup. Also, we can work with a variety of backdrops to achieve the desired looks, and I will apply precise lighting and editing to bring out the best of your features, coloring and personality. As a Philadelphia headshot photographer, I am also available to travel to you to create your headshots in a location of your choice.
Location & Wardrobe Planning
For locations for your session you can choose to have a studio session where we will use precise lighting and a neutral backdrop to highlight your personality and features. Or you can choose to hold your session outside on location, incorporating nature and the architecture around you. Your home or office are also possibilities.
When you are ready to book your session, contact me and we will start with a consultation to plan the details. We’ll talk about the styles you have in mind and the possibilities for your hair, makeup, and wardrobe.
Headshot Session
For custom headshots, we’ll take about 45 minutes to work on creating several different images with different outfits and looks. We’ll review the undeveloped images that day and choose the ones that you’d like to purchase. As your professional headshot photographer, I will edit and retouch your shots and send you the high-resolution files and matching web-sized files as well.
Pricing & Packages
The cost for a professional custom headshot session in the studio is $495, which includes 3 retouched digital headshots. You have the option to purchase additional images if you wish. If you would like to have your headshots taken at a location away from my studio, we can discuss options and pricing.
If you need headshots for a larger group, perhaps a whole company, a particular division or the cast of an upcoming production, I am available to come to you. Please reach out to me to discuss discounted pricing for volume headshot packages. I have worked with many local companies at their offices, including GMS Surgent, NMS Labs, Aztec Group, Center for Families, Eadeh Enterprises, Imerys, Meanix Robustelli Wealth Management, ACA Paper Restoration, Artists in Motion Performing Arts, Cagent Vasular, Dwyer Capital Partners, Lcor and more.
Contact me with any questions you have about professional headshots. You can start here with the online request form or by sending me an email. If you prefer to talk you can give me a call right now at 610-688-0331. I’m here to help in any way that I can!
Testimonials
“Emily was very easy to work with and had great suggestions for the photos, I am very happy with the results.”
“Emily did a fantastic job for us. I had her do several headshots for us that we will use in promotion. She also did many photos of our lab to use instead of stock photos. She did a fantastic job of capturing the look and feel of our lab by ensuring she had the right fore and backgrounds to enhance the photos. The composition of the photos was phenomenal. The shots were back to me in no time, and then she retouched the headshots very quickly.
She also pays attention to detail. She ensured lab coats were buttoned, hair was just so, knew where the south side of the building was, etc. She also had the foresight to ask if I wanted any branded items included in the photos.
Finally, I had a few unexpected requests. She executed on them immediately and without extra charge.
She arrived on time, took excellent pictures, was very flexible and helpful throughout the process. When I need additional headshots, I will be calling Emily. I highly recommend her.”
“Emily is fantastic! She is very personal in her approach and making sure the photo session delivers the outcome you desire. The photos were great and everything was handled professionally and timely throughout the entire process.”
“Great experience working with Emily. She went through my options and shot and reshot the pic until I found what I was looking for. She made it very comfortable and I really did enjoy the experience. I had a very tight deadline, and she exceeded my expectations in every measurable way. She delivered the end product to me days before it was due. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“My daughters used Emily for headshots. It was a wonderful experience. Emily made sure they felt comfortable during the entire time. She assisted us in choosing the best shots for our purposes. Retouching was excellent. We will definitely be back!”
“I’m late writing this review - but hopefully the fact that I am writing one after all this time will show just how much I enjoyed and appreciated Emily’s work. Emily took both my law school graduation photos and my professional headshots in April of 2021. From the moment I called her with an inquiry, she conducted her business so professionally. We discussed pricing, scheduling, and even possible printing and framing options all at the outset. My photos were taken over two sessions. Emily had thought of every detail - from suggesting lipstick to cover any dry lips to researching and obtaining the permit required to shoot at my chosen outdoor location. On the day of the outdoor session, she arrived to scope the area for the best places to photograph. Practically all the photos Emily took were so beautiful that I had a hard time narrowing down which I would keep. She is skilled at posing her subjects so that she captures the most natural and authentic versions of them. I’m so glad I came to Emily to capture this momentous occasion in my life. Most importantly, Emily is a truly charming person. It was a joy to be photographed by her. I will certainly be returning to Emily for more photos in the future.”
“Emily was great to work with. I needed professional headshots and wanted to find someone who could help me strike the balance between professionalism and letting my personality shine through. Emily pulled it off! I’ve received multiple complements on my headshots since posting them and I feel so much more confident about my presence on professional networking sites. I would absolutely work with her again.”
“Emily met every aspect of what we needed. Emily was extremely responsive and flexible - quickly providing reasonable options for pricing and scheduling. Emily communicated professionally and knowledgeably with our NYC web design (vendor) - before and after the photo shoot. Emily was friendly and thorough during the photo shoot - she really put the staff at ease. The process moved along quickly - Emily stayed organized from start to finish. All of our stakeholders agree that the end results - new staff headshots - are a great quality and we highly recommend Emily Brunner Photography.”
