Choose clothing that reflects both what you do and who you are. We recommend colors that complement you, solid colors or subtle textures, and simple accessories that keep the focus on your face. Most importantly, wear something that feels authentic to your profession and makes you feel confident. And if you're unsure, bring a few options! We're always happy to help you choose what will photograph best.

You’re not alone! Most professionals we photograph aren’t used to being in front of the camera, and many tell us it’s not their favorite place to be. We’ll guide you through every pose and expression so you can relax, feel confident, and look natural in front of the camera. We promise, it won’t be as nerve-wracking as you think!

Absolutely! Every portrait you order is carefully edited and fully retouched by Jean herself. We’ll take care of temporary blemishes, stray hairs, and other little distractions while keeping your portraits natural and true to you. All of our editing is done in-house to ensure the highest quality and personal attention.

Absolutely! If your company has an established headshot style, we can work to match the background, lighting, composition, and overall look for a consistent team presence. 

A Headshot Session focuses on polished, posed portraits, typically looking at the camera and often photographed in our studio. You’ll select your favorite portraits from the session, and each image you choose will be fully retouched for use on professional profiles, websites, and marketing materials.

A Branding Editorial Session tells a broader story through a larger variety of images. These sessions have a more candid, natural feel and can include portraits, interactions, details, and images of your space or products. They’re commonly photographed at your place of business and receive lighter editing for a more authentic, editorial look.

Your purchased digital images include personal and professional usage rights for websites, social media, marketing, and more. Images may be printed up to 8x10 inches. Larger print licensing is available upon request. Jean Johnson Portraits retains the copyright, and images may not be altered, resold, or transferred for use without permission.
