Headshot Sessions for Creative Pittsburgh Professionals

Headshot and Content images that showcase YOU!

Headshots do more than just help to put a face and name together. Headshots can be the first impression for your future boss or future clients. That's why it's so important to have a great headshot whether it's for a resume, a social media account, or on your website.

Are you serious and no-nonsense? friendly and approachable? or creative and fun-loving? Those and many more characteristics can be communicated with headshots and content images. And those characteristics can change depending on the information that you want to share with your audience. Working with me, I'll help you to decide what messages you want to share with your audience and then create images that capture that.

what message
are you sending?

Your images on your website or social media speak to your audience. It's so important to make sure that the message you're sending is clear and is exactly what you want to say.

mini session or full session?

The first step in booking your headshot session is deciding between a mini-session or a full session and that's one of the things I will help to talk you through on your phone consult. But to get you started, here are some things to consider.

 

Mini headshot sessions are short and quick and perfect for an individual needing to update their profile image or even just having several images to share across multiple platforms or throughout the year.

 

Full headshot sessions are for the professional (or team of professionals) that need more in the way of content for social media campaigns or websites.

what about collections?

Headshot collections are designed to be the beginning of your social media/web presence marketing plan. By creating collections that provide images to be used throughout the year, your headshot session can be easily incorporated into your yearly marketing plan. A Mini Quarter Collection or Full Quarter Collection can provide 1 or 2 unique images per quarter. This setup just provides a starting framework for those who might be just starting to be more intentional with their social media and web marketing.

I love all the images I received as a result of the photoshoot [with Jodi Walsh Photography]. When I need a picture for marketing I have so many to choose from. Jodi was a joy to work with. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer!

kind words

"Being a photographer myself, it’s not easy being in front of the camera. Jodi made me feel SO comfortable and confident throughout the entire session. I was really impressed with her efficiency and direction. She worked with me on location at my own studio and while she had never been there, she moved our session along with such ease.

Her planning of the session was fantastic. She understood exactly what I wanted and needed. She delivered a gallery that I absolutely love - they look like ME. Every single photo is one that I can confidently use throughout my website and social media pages."
