Your Headshot Is More Than Just a Photo
Your headshot isn’t just a nice image—it’s a visual handshake. In a city like Huntsville, Alabama, where business growth and networking opportunities are everywhere, your headshot plays a major role in shaping first impressions.
At Kia & Co., I specialize in brand photography for Huntsville professionals and businesses. Over the years, I’ve seen how the right image builds instant trust, communicates professionalism, and elevates your brand presence—before you even say a word.
Let’s explore what your headshot might be saying about your brand—and how we can ensure it’s aligned with your goals.
Expressions That Build Connection
Your expression, posture, and overall energy in a headshot speak volumes. Are you approachable and friendly? Confident and polished? Or bold and visionary?
The truth is, whether intentional or not, your headshot is already sending a message. My role is to help you craft one that matches your brand. During a professional headshot session, I guide you toward a balance between natural ease and intentional expression—so your audience feels like they already know and trust you.
Wardrobe Choices as Visual Branding
Your outfit is more than clothing—it’s part of your brand identity. Just like your logo and website colors, what you wear reinforces how you want to be perceived.
- Professional + Polished: Structured blazer, monochrome tones, sleek accessories.
- Approachable + Relaxed: Soft fabrics, breathable materials, light tones.
- Creative + Bold: Pops of color, prints, and unique textures.
I provide wardrobe guidance before your session so that your style matches your brand and resonates with your audience.
Setting the Scene: Backgrounds That Tell Your Story
Location matters just as much as expression and wardrobe. The setting reinforces your message:
- Studio headshots: Timeless, clean, focused.
- Office or lifestyle sessions: Showcase your workspace and personality.
- Outdoor backdrops: Relaxed, approachable, and natural.
Together, we’ll choose a backdrop that fits your brand story—whether the image will be used on your website, LinkedIn, press features, or other marketing platforms.
Real Huntsville Headshot Sessions
Kelly – Fractional CFO
Kelly returned for her second professional headshot session with Kia & Co. As a fractional CFO for small businesses, she needed updated images for her new website and expanding social media presence. Her session focused on approachable yet polished portraits that reflect trust and expertise.
Alayna – Executive Assistant, The Pugh Group at REMAX Alliance
As a new member of The Pugh Group, Alayna needed headshots that aligned with the team’s established look. Consistency across team branding was key, so we created polished, professional images that fit seamlessly with the group’s existing portfolio while still highlighting her approachable personality.
InTown Partners Real Estate Agents
InTown Partners continues to invest in their brand with a photography retainer through Kia & Co., ensuring every new agent has professional, consistent imagery that aligns with their team’s marketing needs. When Jonathan, Brian, and Stephen joined the team, we created portraits that matched the established InTown Partners style—same trusted locations, coordinated wardrobe colors, and a consistent editing approach. This process ensures their headshots not only reflect individual professionalism but also reinforce the cohesive, polished image of the brokerage across websites, social media, and print marketing.
Each of these sessions shows how thoughtful, on-brand photography supports growth, team consistency, and professional credibility in Huntsville’s thriving business community.
Time for an Updated Headshot?
If your current headshot feels outdated, off-brand, or simply doesn’t look like you anymore, it may be time for an upgrade.
Your headshot should grow with your business. Whether you’re scaling, pivoting, or showing up more online, let’s make sure your photos reflect the value and professionalism you bring to the table.
