I create headshots that show both competence and approachability; the same balance I use when photographing anxious rescue animals for Pima Animal Care Center. Whether you're a nervous executive or a confident CEO, I understand how to make you comfortable in front of the camera and capture authentic presence rather than stiff poses.

I bring professional studio lighting to your Tucson office or preferred location. Sessions typically run 30-60 minutes—efficient enough to fit your schedule while allowing time to capture multiple looks and expressions. You'll receive your retouched images within 3-5 business days, with expedited turnaround available for urgent needs.

Why Business Professionals Choose My Services

Efficient Sessions That Respect Your Time

I schedule 30 to 60 minute sessions around your calendar. I arrive fully equipped, set up quickly, and guide you through the process so you feel confident and look your best.

Proven Experience with Professionals

As a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) through the Professional Photographers of America and MFA graduate from Academy of Art University, I bring both technical precision and fine art sensibility to every business portrait. From solo practitioners to C-suite executives, I've photographed professionals across industries. Great headshots require both technical excellence and the ability to help people feel comfortable on camera, and I've spent two decades getting both right.

Fast, Reliable Turnaround

You'll receive carefully curated selections, every one strong enough to work across your professional platforms

Professional Results That Work Everywhere

Whether you need images for LinkedIn, your company website, conference materials, or media appearances, I'll ensure your headshots serve all your professional needs.

What a Session at Your Office Looks Like

Brian Holmes reached out in November 2025 needing headshots for A Better Lou's website and branding materials. He wanted to fit it into a workday without losing the afternoon to travel.

I met him in the lobby of his office building, gear in hand. He came off the elevator, saw me standing there, and brought me back. They'd just expanded into a second suite that was still empty. I set up while his team kept working in the other office.

Each person took five to ten minutes in front of the camera, reviewed their images on a laptop, and chose their favorites before walking away. Retouched portraits were delivered the following day.

Brian's review: "He was very professional, and reasonably priced. Michael also came out to our office and made things quick and easy. I would recommend his services."

That's what most individual and small team sessions look like. Book your session and we'll work out the details from there.

How I Work: Two Things I Won't Compromise On

I shoot tethered so clients can review images on a laptop during the session and choose their favorites before it ends. I don't leave until you're happy with your portrait.

I do light retouching only. I'll clean up temporary blemishes and handle minor distractions, but I won't retouch someone's face into something it isn't. A headshot should look like you on your best day, not a version of you that only exists in software. If a photographer promises to make you look dramatically different, that's worth thinking about before you book them.

Retouched portraits are delivered within 3-5 business days, with rush service available.

What to Expect

Before Your Session

We'll talk through how you'll use these images—LinkedIn profile, company website, conference materials, media appearances. This helps me understand whether we need traditional corporate backgrounds or if incorporating your actual workspace would better represent your brand. I'll also guide you on wardrobe choices that photograph well and feel authentic to how you want to be perceived.

During Your Session

I handle all the technical details while helping you relax and find natural expressions. If you're someone who tenses up in front of cameras, my experience photographing anxious shelter animals translates directly—I know how to work quickly, read body language, and adapt to what's actually working rather than forcing stiff poses. I include multiple outfit changes if you need variety.

After Your Session

Within 3-5 business days, you'll receive your curated online gallery. I deliver all strong images from your session, not just one or two options. LinkedIn, your company website, and a speaking bio often call for different energy, and having choices matters.
