In today's blog post, I am excited to share a behind-the-scenes look at a recent executive headshot session I photographed at Coastal Creative Studios in Halesite, NY. Tim was in need of a fresh new headshot for both his LinkedIn profile and a press release scheduled to go live a couple of days away. This session is a perfect example of how a tight deadline does not mean skimping on the client experience.

Tim arrived at the Studio with a fresh haircut, two outfits, and was ready to rock and roll!

Tim wanted a headshot featuring a clean white background that would blend in with other executives at his firm. During the session, we explored different poses, including standing and sitting, to capture the perfect shot for Tim.

Immediately after the session, we sat down together to review the images. Tim easily selected his favorite shots. Knowing exactly what to expect, he left the studio feeling confident and satisfied with his choices.

Following our meeting, I wasted no time and swiftly edited the gallery within two hours. Tim promptly received the collection and selected his final image. I completed final retouching and delivered the image the very next morning, meeting my 24-hour turnaround promise.
