Headshot Sessions | Seattle – Bellevue – Tacoma

Lifestyle professional headshots > Alliant Benefits in Seattle

Casual. Approachable. Lifestyle. Headshots.

These were the three words I remember thinking when talking with my client at their Seattle offices for their new headshots look for their company.

Business lifestyle headshots by Julian Michael Seattle

“Can you make our people look like ‘this’,” said Alliant’s West Coast Marketing Director to me in a preliminary meeting for their new corporate headshots. She and her creative team lead were showing me their favorite samples of lifestyle-like portraits from a Google and Pinterest search. What I remember most is how similar the style was to how I like to photograph my high school pictures clientele (i.e. very relaxed, warm, fun), always completed outdoors. When they posed the question to me I provided an exciting ‘thumbs up’ that I could deliver upon their request!

Over the following month I worked on-site at their downtown Seattle offices on three occasions to photograph nearly 50 of their staff, administration and executives, including their CEO, who was the inspiration behind this fresh style of business portraits. Each professional was photographed in at least two different poses, standing and sitting with some variety in background at my discretion. All of their new headshots were completed around a large city block radius outdoors with Seattle fall lighting and my discretion of background. What a great time working with Alliant!

Headshots With a King5 News Bonus! > Kerry Wallingford of Seattle

New look, New Portraits, New Vibe. Coming to You ‘Live’!

On-location lifestyle headshots with Kerry Wallingford of Wallingford Financial & College Planning

seattle headshot photographer julian michael bellevue headshotsOnly a year after I first offered to update her professional headshots we came out with some fabulous new results! Between lots of business travel, speaking engagements and changing hairstyles and color, and of course the ‘I want to look my best’ syndrome many of us suffer from (lol), I was able to capture Kerry at her very best.

That Friday morning we had already scheduled her headshots session when I receive an early text saying simply, “Julian, I’m being interviewed by King 5 News at 10:30!” She was to be interviewed about strategies for college planning and the impact this has on a family’s overall financial planning and goals for a segment that aired recently on November 21st.

Excited for my client, I headed out earlier than planned to her offices in Burien from Redmond, luckily with no traffic. Upon arriving she was dressed her best, glowing with excitement and her office was about as tidy as anyone’s ever seen it!

“Wow, these look amazing,” she said halfway through her session to her surprise. I had to inform her that my goal is nothing short of making all my clients look amazing every time!

Professional Headshot Season for Corporate Groups and Businesses: Best Day of Session Tips

Time to Update Your Business’ Headshots? Bellevue Headshots Photographer

So many times I receive calls from companies that have some very outdated business headshots or poor quality professional headshots and are looking for something fresh and clean to present their visual brand. Some companies prefer a more traditional headshot portrait photography look, which Julian can deliver with absolute top grade quality as well. Whatever your business portrait photographer needs Julian can deliver on-time, with ease and everyone might even have fun!

Four Headshot Photography Essentials to Improve Your Portrait Session

  1. Wardrobe: Think about your wardrobe choice at least the day before your session. People tend to make better decisions about their headshot portrait sessions when they do it in advance.
  2. Hair: Get your hair styled the day or two before your photography appointment so you have your best look ready to go. Some women even have their hair cut and styled the morning of their headshot portrait session to take full advantage of this.
  3. Be natural: Most people are good smilers in their professional headshot sessions, however some of us need a little coaching in this department. Help yourself have a better business portrait session by practicing in the mirror or ask a friend or spouse to share what your best natural smile looks like and teach yourself how to create this smile effortlessly.
  4. Day-of styling: Although we’re getting our business portrait during the day. Sometimes we get busy, go outside in the rain or wind, and our hair goes nuts or we pick up lint, wrinkles, etc. Think about wearing a different shirt or sportcoat for your session, about bringing styling products with you to your headshot session, and about styling yourself a few minutes before your appointment.

Seattle Corporate Headshots Photographer Julian Michael

About Julian: I’m a native of the Seattle area, having roots on the south end back in my track & field and running days. These days based on the Eastside but used to traveling up and down I-5 and I-405 to meet new and interesting businesses and clients. I enjoy great BBQ and pizza just like the next guy. I’m typically seen on the golf course scrambling, out running on Greenlake or cooking and gathering with friends. I’m down to earth, I like to carry a good conversation and I enjoy what I do for a living.

One of the great advantages of working with a modeling agency is that you will typically have a very high quality zed card (or comp card) prepared for you. Typically you will work with a seasoned photographer (maybe Julian Michael) to create a new series of images that display your variety and range as a model. From this session you will shoot in several outfits mixing up backgrounds, wardrobe, hair, and personality. For example we would explore the following depending on what is requested or styles you represent:

  • Fashion modeling photography
  • Sports modeling photography
  • Lifestyle modeling photography
  • Headshots photography
  • Glamour modeling photography
  • Urban modeling photography

Here are some examples of comp cards made for Sports Unlimited Modeling Agency based in Portland, Oregon and Los Angeles. Many of their models go on to work for Nike, Under Armour, Adidas, REI and many other sports and lifestyle brands.
