Executive headshots that carry weight.
At the executive level, your photo is part of your professional currency. Board bios, press coverage, speaking engagements, LinkedIn - every one of these surfaces your headshot before your words. It needs to hold up.
I've photographed executives and leadership teams across Indianapolis - from law firms and financial services to healthcare and tech. I know what Indianapolis leadership looks like - and I know how to put it on camera.
Your headshot is always in the room - even when you're not.
Every time your name appears without you - in a board packet, a conference program, a press release, a news article - your headshot is doing the talking. At the executive level, that photo is part of your brand.
A weak headshot signals carelessness. An outdated one signals that details slip. A strong, current executive headshot signals that you take your professional presence as seriously as your work.
This is a 90-minute investment with a multi-year return. Most executives use the same headshot across every platform for 3-5 years. The math is simple.
Book Your SessionBoard & investor materials
Your headshot appears in board packages, investor decks, and annual reports before you walk into the room. It sets the tone before you speak.
Press & media coverage
When journalists cover your company or quote you as an expert, they pull the first headshot they find. Make sure what they find is current and polished.
Speaking & conference bios
Event organizers work with whatever photo you give them. Conferences, panels, and keynotes all publish your headshot at scale - sometimes blown up to room-filling sizes.
LinkedIn & digital presence
Decision-makers research you before meetings. Your LinkedIn profile photo is the first impression they form - often before you're even aware they're looking.
Company website & About pages
Leadership team pages are among the most-visited pages on any company website. Your photo tells visitors who leads this organization.
Built for Indianapolis leadership.
One session covers every professional context - LinkedIn, press kit, board bio, company website, speaking bio, and anywhere else your name appears.
CEOs & C-Suite
The face of the company. Your headshot appears in every piece of coverage your company generates. It needs to look like leadership.
Vice Presidents & Directors
Often the most visible faces outside the C-suite - in client-facing materials, trade publications, and industry events where credibility is built.
Board Members
Board bios and governance pages demand a specific level of polish. A phone photo or cropped group shot on a board page undermines the organization.
Practice & Division Leaders
Law firm partners, practice group leads, regional directors - any role where you represent a unit of the business publicly.
Speakers & Thought Leaders
Conference organizers, podcast producers, and media outlets all need a high-resolution headshot. One session produces everything you need.
New to a Role
Promoted, transitioned, or starting at a new organization - a fresh headshot signals a fresh chapter. Most executives update within 90 days of a new role.

Chad is very professional and extremely good at capturing the essence of a person. The results were exactly what we needed for our leadership team page.- Jennifer Adams, Operations Director
Individual executive headshot sessions are $350 and include a 90-minute session, 5 fully retouched final images, and delivery within 5 business days. Leadership team and on-site bookings are priced per person - reach out with your headcount for a custom quote. Rush delivery within 48 hours is available for an additional fee.
Wear what you'd wear to your most important meeting - not your most casual one. Dark solids photograph cleanly and read as authoritative. Avoid busy patterns, large logos, and pure white shirts if you prefer a lighter background. Bring two or three options and we'll choose on set. I send a detailed prep guide after booking that covers wardrobe, grooming, and how to prepare.
The session itself is similar, but the approach is calibrated for a different outcome. Executive headshots prioritize gravitas, confidence, and approachability in balance - the look of someone who leads. The lighting, framing, and direction are all adjusted to convey authority without creating distance. The result is a photo that holds up at scale - on a conference banner, in a newspaper, on a board page - not just as a thumbnail.
Yes - leadership team sessions are one of the most common bookings. I bring professional lighting and backdrop to your Indianapolis office and photograph each executive in 10-15 minutes. Everyone stays on-site, the setup and strike take about 30 minutes each, and the results are consistent across the full team. Minimum 3 executives for on-site bookings.
Standard delivery is within 5 business days of your session. If you have a press deadline, board meeting, or announcement, rush delivery within 48 hours is available - just mention it when you book. You'll receive a private gallery with high-resolution files optimized for print, web, and all digital uses.
Yes. All images come with full commercial usage rights - no licensing fees, no restrictions. You can use them on LinkedIn, your company website, press kits, speaking bios, conference materials, annual reports, and anywhere else your professional presence appears. The files are delivered at full resolution, ready for both print and digital use.
Yes. On-site sessions are available throughout the Indianapolis metro and surrounding Central Indiana markets. I bring a full portable studio setup - professional lighting, backdrop, and all equipment. No one needs to leave the building. This is particularly useful for leadership team sessions where coordinating multiple executives to a single off-site location isn't practical.
Most executives update every 3-5 years, or sooner after a significant change in role, appearance, or company. The practical trigger is when your current photo no longer looks like you - or when you're moving into a new position where perception matters. A new role, a board appointment, a media push, or a speaking circuit are all good reasons to refresh.
