Between jobs is the best time for new headshots and personal branding photos

Meet Becky. Becky is a prime case study of setting yourself up for the next thing. Getting laid off sucks. Change is hard. But it’s only upward and onward from here, and a huge part of that starts by refreshing your personal branding, which includes your headshot along with a cohesive set of images. Set the tone for your next journey. Not only is Becky the case study — she’s also leading the candid conversation around work, life and layoffs.

Listen to her podcast, Lay Off Me.
Becky Olstad is also an amazing content writer and you should take a few looks at her work.

Here are more great shots from our headshot and personal branding session. Thanks for coming in, Becky. You are fascinating, and I’m thrilled that your work is out in the wild!

Adding Personality to the Brand - Headshot and Corporate Studio Photography

I’m so excited to share some new work! Lauren and Emily came to me in search of adding some fun imagery to their new consulting company. The studio was perfect to highlight their pink & black palette, and we definitely worked in both LinkedIn (or About.me?) appropriate photos AND Instagram-worthy material. Check out some of my favorites! If you’re interested in a studio session (Air conditioning! Beverages! Snacks! Couches! Green room!), I’m eager to get back in there. Most sessions like this can be knocked out in about an hour. Email/call me! stephanie@marilee.co - 707.246.8156

The studio is located at the Denver Photo Collective in Lakewood, Colorado.

Shannon Morse Headshots on Polk Street - San Francisco

Shannon (Snubs!) is in my camera, and it looks like we should turn this into an annual tradition. You may have seen her in my feed with fire hair, but her brand has evolved alongside her purple locks. 

We toured Polk Street and wandered into some of the best places - Bob's Donuts, Saint Franks Coffee and more. I look forward to seeing Shannon everywhere you can find her: https://snubsie.com will lead you to TekThing, ThreatWire, Hak5, and of course her very own Snubs Report.

I love how her photos came out, not to mention we got some silly/artsy shots in while catching up. :)

DJ E-Rock Press Headshots - Studio

This is probably one of my favorite (and most efficient) studio sessions! Eric (aka E-Rock) came in to my home studio for some press headshots to promote his events and personal brand. He nailed the poses and I think we did amazing work together. Congrats on your success, Eric! Looking forward to seeing your name in lights. Here are some of my favorite shots.

Gavin & Cole Studio Portraits - Cutest Brothers You've Ever Seen :)

I've been loving our mobile studio portraits! Check out Gavin and his younger brother, Cole, who stopped by my home with their parents after a day out in San Francisco. We always try to keep the environment light, casual and fun with some snacks and my little family running around to make 'em laugh, and it totally works. These kids are always welcome back (with their amazing personalities and talent!!!) any time. Thanks Red & Ray for spending some time with us for these headshots!
