Updating Erica’s Headshots for Her Evolving Brand

When Erica approached me for an updated headshot session, it had been a couple years since her last session. As a Huntsville content creator, her public image is important, and with her recently colored dark hair, she knew her photos needed a refresh to reflect her current look. Having worked with Erica before, we knew it was important to capture more than just a headshot. We added a few lifestyle images to her session, highlighting her personality and approach to content creation. The result? A set of images that not only shows off her new look but also showcases the warmth and professionalism her followers know and love.

Choosing Erica’s Home as the Perfect Location

Given Erica’s connection to her home, it only made sense to capture her headshots there. Her kitchen and living room are well-known to her audience, who often see her in these spaces when she’s filming content or sharing behind-the-scenes insights. This familiar setting added an extra layer of authenticity to her photos, reinforcing the connection she has with her viewers. Plus, let’s face it—late August in Northern Alabama can be incredibly hot, so shooting indoors was the perfect choice for everyone involved!
