salem headshots photographer
Les needed headshots both in the studio and outdoors, as well as with and without his suit jacket, so I booked Studio 22 in downtown Salem. The studio is located near a few little alleyways with some greenery, so it was an easy and quick process.
Molly is a successful Realtor® in Salem, Oregon. As an agent, she hangs her license at Home Smart Realty Group (click HERE to visit her website), but she also owns two adorable vacation rentals in town! We did these headshots in her South Salem airbnb (the other is in West Salem), since she has some fun wallpapers and details throughout the home.
If you’ve followed me for a while, you have probably seen this face. Erin is a good friend of mine that I’ve known for 20+ years. She has modeled for me countless times and I’ve also photographed her family quite a bit over the last decade or so. Anyway, this beautiful mom of four is now in her career era and needed some new headshots. She wanted something casual, but classy, and I think we nailed it!
I was about Anna’s age in the 90s, so these outfits are giving me the warm fuzzies! Side note: How cool isis her eye color?!
I have been photographing SheeAnna for YEARS and we have a blast every time. She’s one of those clients I just immediately clicked with (no pun intended) and I know we’ll be friends for ever, even though she recently moved far away.
Anyway, I love how different these two headshots are, even though they were taken only minutes apart.
While I enjoy shooting in a studio, I looove photographing people at work, for their business headshots! These photos of Ka Rin were taken in her downtown Salem office, where she does therapy sessions. Not only does it allow the subject to be a little more comfortable and relaxed in their own environment, but it gives the viewers a little peek into where they’ll be hanging out. Thankfully, she had some beautiful window light in her space, which meant I didn’t have to bring all of my cumbersome lighting equipment.
Sam’s senior portrait session was so much fun. We did the entire shoot in downtown Salem on a warm August evening. Sam is an actor and was rehearsing for a performance at The Grand Theater all day, so starting there made perfect sense! For the remainder of the evening, we just wandered around the streets and alleyways downtown. Our final stop was Archive Coffee & Bar, so Sam could order his favorite drink. All in all, I think we captured Sam’s personality with this casual urban session!
