Absolutely! We specialize in Charlotte team headshots for businesses of all sizes - from startups in South End to corporate offices in Uptown. We can come to your office or shoot at our studio. Consistent lighting and backgrounds ensure a cohesive, professional look across your entire team.

We offer flexible locations throughout the Charlotte area. Sessions can take place at our studio, your office (Uptown, Ballantyne, SouthPark, etc.), or an outdoor Charlotte location. Popular spots include Romare Bearden Park, The Green, and various Uptown locations. We'll help you choose the best setting for your brand.

Individual executive headshot sessions typically run 30-60 minutes. For team sessions, plan for about 15-20 minutes per person. We'll make sure every person looks their best without rushing. Same-day retouching is available for urgent LinkedIn or website needs.

Branding photography goes beyond headshots - it tells the story of your business through professional images. If you're a Charlotte entrepreneur, realtor, financial advisor, coach, or business owner, branding photos help you stand out on social media, your website, and marketing materials. It's an investment in how clients perceive your business.

Every branding session begins with a strategic consultation where we discuss your brand, your goals, and your audience. Sessions are tailored to your specific needs, and include guided posing, professional lighting, executive-level retouching, and commercial usage rights. Branding sessions start at $400.

I recommend booking 2-3 weeks in advance for portrait and headshot sessions. For branding sessions, 2-4 weeks is ideal so we have time for a proper consultation. I can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests, so don't hesitate to ask!

Life happens! Sessions can be rescheduled up to 48 hours before with no penalty. Cancellations within 48 hours forfeit the deposit.

Absolutely! While Charlotte is our home base, I love shooting throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, and beyond. Local travel within 25 miles of Charlotte is included. Beyond that, a travel fee may apply. Destination shoots are available too!

For corporate headshots: solid colors, well-fitted blazers/suits, and minimal patterns work best. Avoid large logos and neon colors. For branding sessions: bring 2-3 outfits that reflect your brand. I send a detailed style guide after booking with specific recommendations for your industry!

It depends on the session type: Executive headshots run 30-60 minutes, branding sessions are 1-3+ hours depending on scope, and luxury portrait sessions are typically 1-2 hours. I never rush - we'll take the time we need to get the perfect shots.

For outdoor sessions in Charlotte, we'll keep an eye on the forecast together. If weather looks problematic, we can reschedule at no charge, move to a covered location, or embrace the weather (rainy photos can be stunning!). We always have a backup plan.

The number varies by session type and scope. All delivered images are professionally edited and retouched to an executive standard. Exact deliverable counts are discussed during your consultation based on your specific needs.
