Client Overview
Our client, an interior design shop, wanted to update their website and marketing materials with modern, consistent headshots that reflected the creativity and warmth of their brand. As a team that works closely with homeowners and design clients, building trust through a polished yet approachable image was a top priority.
The Challenge
The team had been using a mix of casual photos and older portraits that didn’t reflect the current look and feel of their brand. They needed professional headshots that would feel cohesive across their platforms, while still capturing the individual personality and design style of each team member.
What They Needed
- Updated headshots that aligned with their clean, modern design aesthetic
- Portraits that felt warm, welcoming, and approachable—not too corporate
- Consistency in lighting and background to unify their visual presence
- A quick, low-stress shoot that fit into their busy project schedules
Our Approach
- Pre-Shoot Planning
We began with a consultation to understand their brand style—modern, elegant, and design-forward—and how the images would be used across their website, social media, and marketing materials. We suggested outfits, color palettes, and background tones that would complement their shop’s visual identity. - On-Site Studio Setup
To keep things simple and comfortable, we set up a mobile studio in their shop. This allowed us to incorporate elements of their actual design space into the shoot—think clean backdrops, soft textures, and natural light that echoed their aesthetic. - Styling and Direction
We provided gentle direction during the shoot to help each team member feel at ease, capturing both posed shots and candid moments. The goal was to bring out their personalities in a way that felt genuine and on-brand. - Natural Retouching
Final images were lightly retouched to enhance lighting and tone while preserving each person’s natural look—clean, professional, and never overly edited.
Results
- A cohesive set of headshots that aligned with the brand’s visual identity
- Photos that felt warm and authentic, reflecting the team’s client-first approach
- Streamlined shoot day with minimal disruption to business operations
- Positive feedback from both team members and clients who noticed the polished new look
Final Thoughts
For interior design studios, your brand is built not just through your work—but through your presence. Professional headshots help you show up with confidence and consistency, whether you’re meeting clients online or showcasing your team on your site. The right photography can elevate your brand and reinforce the trust and creativity you bring to every project.
