I recently had the joy of photographing Kali Inch, a therapist and counselor at Haven Connection, for a full branding and headshot session. Kali needed fresh images for her updated website, plus new LinkedIn headshots and branding photos that reflected her personality, warmth, and the professional heart she brings to her practice.

From the moment she walked into the studio, I knew this was going to be such a meaningful shoot. Kali’s work centers on connection, compassion, and creating a safe space for her clients, so our goal was to capture genuine, approachable images that reflect exactly that.

Clean and Professional LinkedIn Headshots on Pure White

We started with classic, polished headshots on a pure white background. These are perfect for LinkedIn, About pages, and professional bios.Kali brought multiple outfit options, giving us a variety of looks – from bright and bold to soft and neutral. She absolutely glowed in each one, and we created a set of images that will work beautifully across all her professional platforms.

Bright and Playful Branding Portraits for Southern Pines Branding Session

Next, we shifted into lifestyle branding portraits designed to show more of Kali’s personality. Her hot pink sweater against the colorful studio wall was the perfect combination – vibrant, warm, and full of life, just like her.We captured standing portraits, relaxed leaning poses, and mid-length shots that highlight her confidence and relatability.

These images are ideal for her website’s homepage and sections where clients get to know her as a person, not just a clinician.

Cozy Lifestyle Images for Her Website

Haven Connection focuses on healing, comfort, and emotional safety, so we also created a series of images in the cozy lifestyle room.Soft furniture, natural light, and simple décor helped set the mood. Kali curled up with her notebook, sat comfortably in the chair, and we captured candid-style portraits that feel calm, warm, and inviting.

These are the types of images that truly help clients feel at ease even before meeting her.

Full-Body Branding Shots for Website & Marketing

To round out her branding gallery, we added full-body portraits in the lifestyle space. These images have a clean Scandinavian feel with airy white curtains and soft blue tones.They’ll work perfectly for website banner spaces, speaking engagements, or printed materials.

A Session That Reflects Who She Is

Kali wanted photos that show her as a grounded, approachable, and supportive therapist – someone real people can connect with. Through a mix of headshots, branding, standing portraits, and cozy lifestyle scenes, we created a complete gallery that gives her everything she needs for her refreshed website and professional presence.

I absolutely loved photographing this session. Kali’s warmth shines through in every image, and I’m excited for her new photos to help share the heart behind Haven Connection with future clients.
