Modern Lifestyle Headshots Mini Day in Barrington

Wow—what a day! My recent Headshot Mini Day was an absolute blast, and I’m still buzzing from the energy and confidence that came through!

If you’ve ever felt like you need new headshots but keep putting it off… you’re not alone. That’s exactly why I created this experience: a fast, fun, and empowering way to create headshots you actually feel good about.

Not your dad’s headshots

But let’s be real—these aren’t your old-school, stiff-in-front-of-a-backdrop headshots.

These are modern, lifestyle-inspired portraits that actually reflect who you are—your vibe, your brand, and your personality. Whether you’re looking to level up your LinkedIn, refresh your website bio, or finally get a headshot you actually like, this is for you.

As you can see, they aren’t even strictly headshots. Even in a short session, I like to get a few different backdrops, outfits, and types of shots. Although I think it’s important to have a great shot of your head and shoulders for social media profiles, websites, etc., most of us could also use a little more variety than that. In this headshot mini day, we mixed a couple of lifestyle settings with white and grey backdrops, and traditional headshots with wider shots as well. Honestly, I just call them “headshots” because everybody knows that word even if “branding photos or branding minis” might be more accurate!

This past Headshot Mini Day brought in some incredible women

I love getting to know everybody I’m shooting with, and this headshot mini day brought in some incredible women! Marisa is a nurse who is transitioning her career, Nora is a content marketing expert who needed new images for her growing career including her LinkedIn page, podcast and more! Samantha is a corporate professional moving ahead in her career and growing her personal brand.

Many women tell me that they are nervous about scheduling a photoshoot, especially if they haven’t had professional images created before or if their last experience wasn’t great. I absolutely love creating a positive, energetic supportive atmosphere where everybody can come and just have FUN and leave feeling confident and excited.

Samantha says, “Amazing! Thank you again! I also got my first compliment on my new photo 24 hours! Someone on my team was like Sam, your new headshots… top notch , killing it. so THANK YOU 🙂 “
