Business Portraits

Business Portraits, like headshots, should reflect the personality of the person in the portrait. However, they do have stricter guidelines of what is needed, depending on whether it is for a website, brochure, or annual report.

Every shot will be different, even for the same person.
Take for example, Terri Smith, a phenominal realtor in Maple Ridge. She needed photos for her business card, newsletter and brochure. For a business card, all you want is the head and shoulders. The look should be professional, but friendly. This first shot is for her business cards.


This next portrait is for her brochures. It shows more of who she is and what she does.

What she does is clearly shown. Her clothes make a statement, as does the background.

It is a rich portrait color wise, which offers subliminal statements on how she does her work and how she'll be able to help you.


Her daytimer shows she's organized, and her smile shows you she is genuine and helpful.



This next portrait is much more relaxed.

Better suited to her newsletter, it shows her naturally outgoing and gregarious personality.

This portrait, done for another client, is a more standard or "classic" portrait.

This type of portrait can be used for pretty much any career, from Acting to Pharmacy. This particular one is part of a project called "The Butterfly Express" an off shoot of "The Butterfly Project" started in 2004.

In the "Butterfly Express," portraits are done very inexpensively, but there is less time involved in finding out who the client is and who their target market is.

All portraits look great - but are standard in posing and lighting.

The clients of the Butterfly Express benefit by a savings on the usual fee of a portrait shoot, and the women of "The Butterfly Project" benefit, as all sales go towards the next transformational event.
