Business Headshots
Whether you are climbing the corporate ladder, or venturing out on your own, we've got your back.
From full on professional to laid back business casual, we can help you create an image that gets you clients and represents your brand. We work with business headshots in a variety of ways including but not limited to: individual headshots for yourself or your small business, individual headshots on behalf of a company that you work for, or multiple headshots at a time at your location or at our studio. So remember, now that you've found us, there is no excuse to keep cropping yourself out of other people's wedding photos so that you have a photo for your LinkedIn profile. (Oh yeah, we've seen everything!)
Hi, I'm Jessica!
Before I opened my own studio, I was a staff photographer for M Magazine. My job was to create portraits that brought each story to life: from professional athletes and models to everyday people like myself.
And do you want to know what the common denominator was?
Everyone was nervous to be in front of the camera.
It didn’t matter if you were a famous Bucks player or a hardworking farmer — everyone shared the same vulnerable feelings about being seen.
Fast forward to 2015. I had just opened my own studio and was promoting my personal project, The Milwaukee Beard Book. That’s when M Magazine called to feature me on their cover.
Suddenly, I was the one in front of the camera.
What would I wear? How should I do my makeup? What if I didn’t like how I looked in the photo?
For the first time, I truly understood the mix of excitement and anxiety that my clients feel.
That experience changed everything.
It inspired me to design each session at The Refinery Photo Studio around comfort, trust, and genuine connection. I want every client to feel seen, not just photographed.
Read on to discover what a Headshot Experience at The Refinery feels like, and how we create portraits that truly reflect you.
