Whether you’re looking for the perfect LinkedIn profile picture, a professional business headshot, or a creative branding session that truly captures your essence, my new studio has everything you need and more.

A Fresh Space for Headshots & Business Portraits in Carthage

I now have a dedicated room just for headshots and business portraits, and let me tell you—it's everything I’ve dreamed of. With plenty of backdrop choices and professional studio lighting, the space is ideal for crafting the perfect business headshot. Whether you need something clean and classic for corporate branding or something a bit more creative, the setup here allows me to deliver headshots that truly showcase your personality and professionalism.

And the tall ceilings and spacious environment? Perfect for creating a relaxed atmosphere while giving us plenty of room for creative shots. This is not just a photo session—it's an experience. Your headshot will feel as fresh and vibrant as Carthage's downtown area outside!

My headshot room! Tall ceilings, white walls to avoid color cast and plenty of space for just about any lighting setup imaginable. I also have 15 different colored backdrops for your business headshots stored in my closet that I set up for headshot sessions- so if you're looking for gray, black, blue, mottled or colorful and bold headshot backgrounds, I have them all!

Meet the Lifestyle Room: Your Branding Session Heaven

But wait—there’s more! I’m also super excited to share a space that will take your branding photos to the next level: the lifestyle room. This beautiful, connected room next door is shared with the talented Amy Lachney Photography. It’s everything I ever dreamed of in a studio space—huge windows that flood the room with the softest natural light, tall ceilings, and gorgeous hardwood floors. We worked hard (thanks, Amazon!) to soften the light, even purchasing a total of 24 curtains to get the perfect balance—and trust me, it was totally worth it. The light here is so dreamy, it makes every shot feel like magic.

This room is set up with everything you need for lifestyle branding photography: a cozy couch, coffee tables, stylish chairs, and a selection of props. Whether you're a business owner wanting to showcase your products, a creative professional in need of vibrant shots, or someone looking to capture a more personal, authentic vibe, the possibilities for different setups and poses are endless.

The lifestyle room. This is a room that I share with the wonderful Amy Lachney Photography. This room is the perfect space for branding sessions and we have furniture on rotation to create different looks and environments. Different style chairs, different colors, a desk that can be set up to create an office set up- the possibilities are almost endless.
