Professional Headshots Orlando
Our goal is to create headshots that tell your story so that your clients can immediately feel like they know you, like you, and trust you. Your online presence should showcase your expertise, communicate a clear message about your company, and reflect your personality!
That is why the images you see here are all vastly different! Every professional is unique, so each photo shoot is tailored to exactly who you are and to the needs of your company message.
Every session is uniquely designed through tailored lighting, backdrops, posing, and expression. And you can count on the quality of your headshots to be consistent and exceptional… but let’s just say, I don’t do cookie-cutter :)
Here are a few of the way ways we capture your perfect headshot in our Orlando Headshot Photography Studio:
-
Photography lighting plays a huge role in how your professional image will be perceived. I have a full set of professional lighting equipment that allows me to craft images in a way that speaks to your business and personality. Sometimes a professional needs their online presence to be simple and classic. Other times, a business person may need more drama and power in their headshot. And often, I have professionals come to my studio looking for a friendly, bright approach. All of these are possible with detailed lighting setups designed to flatter you and tell your story.
We always start with a consultation, so I know just how to set up my space to best accomplish our goals for your headshots.
-
Every professional headshot for business or for acting needs a tailored backdrop. The color of our background, level of focus, and environment play a huge role in helping us communicate your personality and expertise.
Often, headshot photographers only have 2 background choices: black or white. Sometimes, this is absolutely the right fit for headshots! But not every professional is the same.
Your headshot may need a color (even something neutral, but warm), or possibly an environmental background may work best (for realtors or actors, for instance).
No matter what your profession is, we will go over your goals before our headshot session and I will help you decide which backdrop and environment will be the best fit for your needs.
-
Are you someone who tends to feel nervous to have your photo taken? Maybe you don’t know how to pose, or even how to smile naturally for photos. This is something I can relate to completely. Even I feel uncomfortable in front of the camera and don’t really know how to pose my body so I look my best!
This is why I have made it a priority over the past 15 years of taking professional headshots to study posing and natural expressions (yes, I took classes on this!). No matter what your body type is, we can pose you in ways that make you look your best and feel great about your headshots. And looking great through detailed posing isn’t the only thing that matters! We also want to make sure we are communicating effectively through our body language.
Your facial expression also matters! I will help you relax and we will work together to capture natural, but appropriate expressions for your headshots.
Sometimes you may need your headshot to look powerful and strong (lawyers, Realtors, and theatrical acting headshots, for example), so we will pose you body in a way that is strong, yet approachable. Others may want to appear very friendly and casual. Little details matter, and I will guide you through every step so you are sure to come away with headshots that make you feel great and that tell others a story.

As a headshot photographer in Orlando Florida…
I strive to create dynamic headshots that appeal to the Orlando market. Your images are designed to help you look just as successful, professional, knowledgeable, and approachable as you are! …And let’s not forget good-looking ; )
We will take these 4 simple, effective steps to get you a full set of professional business headshots that will not only help you grow in your career and in business, but headshots that you will feel great about and excited to share!
Preparing you to look your best
Every professional hopes to look their absolute best for headshots. Preparation is key and I am here to help! I will guide you through how to prepare for your session.
Do you want professional hair/makeup?
We will talk about what to wear for headshots (and what NOT to wear for your portraits).
You will receive information about how to prepare your clothing, skin, and hair for success.
Every client will receive a Prep Guide with examples and ideas on outfits and everything you need to know before your session.
Delivering your images
Your full set of portraits will be presented online, giving you plenty of time to pick your favorites.
Your chosen images will be edited to perfection in Photoshop. My goal is a naturally perfect edit that will be timeless and clean.
Your images will be edited and ready for you just 24-48 hours after you have selected your favorites.
You will receive your images in high resolution, web resolution, and often in special cropped versions, such as for LinkedIn or social media.
My approach to more professional headshot photography
My job is to help professionals in the corporate business world succeed through highly-professional imagery. Every session is fun, easy, and designed to:
Make you look your absolute best
Communicate your unique personality and company message
Showcase your professionalism, and that you can be entrusted with your clients’ needs.
In short, your headshots are specifically designed to represent you perfectly, your company message clearly, and in the most attractive way possible.
Getting to know you
Before every session, I have you fill out a quick questionnaire, or chat with you over the phone about your goals with the headshots we will be taking.
Are you looking to advance your career?
Does your headshot need to be styled similarly to the company’s current employee headshots?
Do you have a particular message or brand you need to convey?
What is your favorite feature, and what aspects of your unique personality would you like to stand out?
Setting up the studio
Based on the answers to your questions, goals, and ideas, I will get to work preparing my space for your needs.
We will provide lighting that helps you look your best and communicate your personality in a beautiful, powerful way.
The backdrop or background will be specifically chosen and tailored to you - perfect for your needs and goals.
Getting professional hair/makeup? Our artist will be set up and ready for your arrival.
You may notice that many of my professional headshots look different from one another.
The majority of professional headshot photographers in Orlando have headshots that all look relatively the same (and that’s ok! I am a huge fan of many headshot photographers in Central Florida and appreciate each of their styles of photography). Many use the same lighting setups for every client, and sometimes have the choice of only white or black backgrounds.
I have found, however, that oftentimes clients prefer a style of headshot that is more unique to their needs.
Your company brand is unique to other companies
Your unique personality should be showcased, with your best features highlighted (which can’t always happen when there are only one or two choices for backdrops and lighting)
Your headshot may need to communicate something other than just “corporate.” You might need a headshot that is friendly and approachable, or you may need your headshot to represent someone who is highly professional, powerful, and strong. Uniquely tailored photo shoots can help us achieve your goals more easily.
We should consider skin tone, body type, brand, outfit choice… even hair color can be a consideration when choosing how to photograph professionals most effectively and attractively. If your outfit is gray, for instance, a standard gray backdrop may not make for a dynamic or attractive headshot.
For the past 20 years, I have studied backdrops and lighting for indoor photography, outdoor portraits, natural light headshots, more editorial-style headshots, and everything in-between. I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve and use them all to ensure your headshots accomplish your unique goals.
Headshots for every profession
From Realtors to Doctors, Entrepreneurs to Actors, I have had the honor of working with just about every profession, and I always tailor each photo shoot so that you, and your profession, are well-represented.
Here are just a few examples of different professionals I’ve had the joy of photographing, and what we did to create a unique set of headshots that communicated their brand, story, and personalities in a way that helped them grow in their business and careers!
Realtor Headshots with the Brayman Team
-
The Brayman Real Estate Headshots Session was all about showcasing friendliness and their ability to stage homes in a clean, modern way. The homes that they tend to sell are modern and high-end, and their client base tends to be slightly older - often entering retirement.
-
We crafted a full set of images for these great Realtors by
1. Finding a location that would speak to their ideal client
2. Bringing professional lighting gear to our location so that the headshots and candid images looked extremely professional and high-end.
3. Bringing a clothing stylist, and a hair and makeup artist on site so each Realtor looked her absolute best. The clothing choices needed to be conservative, expensive-looking, and flattering to each Realtor's body type.
4. Posing the team in a way that was attractive, warm, and also highly professional.

Dave with the Hampton & Pigott Law Firm
-
Dave Pigott and his team needed headshots to represent strength and confidence for their Law Firm in a way that looked contemporary.
They wanted to be seen as a bit intense, skilled experts in law, and also approachable.
Having headshots with a modern edge was a priority to them to stand out as relevant in today’s world.
-
To create an edgy modern feel, we opted for bare concrete walls as the backdrop.
We used a celebrity lighting effect that is powerful, attractive, and commanding.
A forward, power pose combined with a confident expression gave them just the look they needed to share their brand and help their clients know they are go-getters who win cases, but are also approachable.

Valentina Lemes - Owner of Grace Nutrition Counseling in Orlando
-
Valentina Lemes owns a small business and needs portraits that felt warm, bright, and related to Orlando, FL. She is a nutrition and fitness coach, working with private individuals, and with the elderly in rehabilitation and continued movement.
She wanted her audience to feel at ease when they saw her headshots, and also have a sense that she is experienced, confident, and kind.
-
She needed a slightly tropical look to communicate that her business is run in Orlando, so we included a hint of tropical plants like palm trees and grasses along with neutral black and white tones (which are her branding colors).
Valentina's outfit, hair, and makeup were styled to feel approachable, natural, and professional.
Every shot, whether in the home or outside, was professionally lit with studio strobes that I bring on location. Pro lighting is normally a must in order to capture headshots in a way that looks professional!
I guided her through facial expressions that showed the kindness her in eyes and warmth of her smile. Her body language needed to show that she could be trusted, and also that she had confidence in her ability to help others.
In addition to Customized Headshots, I also do many (many!) corporate headshots
These professional headshots are designed for those who need a simple headshot for their company website, for LinkedIn, or personal use. These corporate headshots have a timeless, classic look that appeals to those in the corporate world. Corporate Headshots tend to be taken on an in-studio background. The most common choices are white, gray, taupe, and black. These colors go well with every business logo and every outfit choice that business professionals may prefer.
The Corporate Business Headshot Session is the way to go if you just need one final shot, but you want to still look great with professional lighting and a backdrop suited to your needs.
Corporate Headshot Sessions in Orlando can be ideal for many types of professions.
You can view examples of just a handful of the awesome professionals in the corporate world I’ve been blessed to work with! (I have enjoyed helping thousands of business professionals with their headshots and love every session!).
Company Headshot Events
If your entire company needs all of their employees photographed for a consistent look, I also do Corporate Headshot Events where I come to you with my studio setup and photograph your entire team in 1 - 3 days (depending on the number of employees to be photographed). These session are fast, fun, and yield excellent results.
Examples of Corporate Headshots in Orlando, Florida:
Think you are ready to book your professional headshot session in Orlando?
I’d love the opportunity to work with you, tell your unique story, and capture your personality in a headshot, whether it’s for business, your company, or acting. Updating your online image has never been this fun! And it’s important to have a current photo that represents you well.
Realtor Headshots Orlando
The real estate industry in Orlando Florida demands top quality headshots that communicate warmth, approachability, and expertise in the real estate industry. I design real estate specific headshot sessions, both in the studio and on location that are perfect for realtors and mortgage brokers.
If you love the look of an on-location session, let’s chat about a great home or office that will best represent the type of real estate that you tend to offer. Realtor headshots in Orlando are different than other parts of the country: our architecture is artistic, bright, and oh-so-very FLORIDA.
We can also do headshot sessions inside a home that you have access to. Whether it be a living room, kitchen, or front door of your perfect home, we will use professional lighting gear and equipment to make you look like you popped right out of a real estate magazine.
Offering Orlando Real Estate Agent Headshots is one of my favorite things! I love the creativity that comes with location sessions, and also love offering the simplicity of an in-studio shot.
Do you have a team of agents that need to be photographed together? Ask me about my team sessions, where we gather all of your team members for a shoot. We can either do the real estate team photos individually and “photoshop” the group photo (which is perfect in case someone is added to your team!), or all at once on location.
Your Realtor Headshots can be in the studio or on location in a home that speaks to your client base.
Actor Headshots Orlando
Being in central Florida, I often photograph the coolest people who work in the entertainment industry of Orlando. Professional Acting headshots, Entertainer headshots, Musician Headshots, and Comedian headshots are often on my schedule and I couldn’t be more pleased. Acting headshots are some of my most fun and creative sessions.
With every session for comedians, actors, and musicians, I always recommend at least two outfits / looks. We’ve got a big personality to capture, and choosing an acting headshot session with multiple outfits will exponentially help us get your name and face recognition in your field.
Your acting headshots can be on a solid background or a neutral “environmental” background. I’ve worked with hundreds of actors in Florida, Colorado, California, Georgia, and New York, and have a good feel for what each market would like to see in their headshots.
From lighting to posing, backdrop and colors, each market has unique industry standards.
Whether you are looking for film or theater, we can craft a session designed to get you noticed by casting directors.
Teenage Actor Headshots Orlando
Our headshots for teens, kids, and children are designed to POP! We want to make a strong impact on agencies and casting directors so your teen or child actor immediately stands out.
Your teen or child’s acting headshot has a direct impact on how a casting director will determine whether or not they would like your audition tape. If you submit a headshot that is obviously not taken professionally, then casting directors are not likely to take you seriously.
Having your headshots done by a pro who specializes in headshots for actors, whether film or theater, is vital to your potential success as an actor.
Not only does your headshot highlight your child’s best features and character, their headshot quality will help directors know that you take your career and talent seriously. And in Orlando, that is a very important piece to your portrait.
We have loads of amazing talent here in central Florida! Making this investment is incredibly rewarding and will pay you back many times over the course of your career.
And, there are a few other types of photography I provide that you might be interested in!
Pet Photography
I have photographed hundreds of pets! I’m an animal person, what can I say. With the right lenses, settings, and experience, your pet can have a portrait worthy of any magazine, mantle, or heck - family room wall! View Pet Portrait Sessions.
I use both a studio setting and outdoor settings, depending on your preference!
Being a Pet Portrait Photographer has its challenges, but is SOOOOO rewarding. Headshots for your pet? yes please..
Family Portrait Sessions
I work with families to create studio-style portraits designed to be timeless and stunning. Whether indoor or outdoor, my family portraits will have professional lighting and are for up to 6 family members! I would love to meet your family and capture your memories professionally. My family portrait sessions happen only twice a year and tend to book out a couple of months in advance. Looking for Fall Family Photos or Family Photos for Christmas Cards? Get your call in by August to book your portrait session in early November. Only a handful of spots are open during each season.
I love working with families either in the studio or at your location if you prefer another setting you have in mind!
Family portrait sessions start at $2500
Senior Portrait Photography
Senior Portrait sessions are designed to capture the beauty, warmth, joy, and unique personality of your senior. This half-day event has been booked by more than 700 seniors and is a once-in-a-lifetime event!
Branding for Small Business
If you are a small business owner or entrepreneur, branding and marketing photos are a must-have for the success of success of your business, and sharing your message.
Ok - Let’s address a very common question: Do you feel nervous in front of the camera?
With the photography techniques we will use, you don’t have to worry about how you are going to look in your headshots.
It’s not unusual for me to hear from a client that they don’t think they are photogenic.
Can you relate?
I’ve even said this myself! I have areas that, let’s be honest, could use a slim-down… my skin isn’t perfect, I have wrinkles, and I don’t really know how to pose when I am on the other side of the camera. And with all that, in the end, I just want to look like my best self. I want to look GOOD!
I have spent the better part of my career learning best lighting, poses, props, and backdrops in order to make every body type, skin type, and personality shine. I never want you to feel ashamed of your photo or worried about sharing yourself through your headshot - my goal is that you immediately go home and post that photo everywhere you can! I want you to feel proud of how you look, and the best part is, we will accomplish this type of excellence in camera! While I do re-touch blemishes and correct lighting issues, our focus will be to photograph you authentically. We want your headshots to look like YOU.
Why should you book Eldeen Annette Headshots for your professional portraits?
I have the honor of photographing over 4700 professionals over the past 20 years.
In addition to professional headshots for business people, I’ve gotten to work with models, high school seniors, weddings, families, babies, dogs and cats, horses, and children. Life is good with a camera in hand!
I thrive on personal interaction and getting to know others. There is a joy for me that comes with taking headshots.
My sessions don’t move too fast, but we are efficient. Our sessions will feel easy and fun!
I like getting to know you on a personal level so I can better photograph you!
This is what I do! This is my life’s passion - to create images for individuals that help them SHINE. I hope that my work speaks to my love of portraiture and that it is easy to see how much I love what I do!

Headshots for Photographers
I also LOVE working with like-minded creatives in photography! Having taught several workshops and classes over the years, I have had the pleasure of meeting others just like myself who love capturing moments and personalities through portraits.
When my photographer friends come to me for a headshot, there is no greater honor. I enjoy being entrusted with such a beautiful task and love especially when photographers have me join them at a session of their own to capture their work in progress, in addition to having a headshot taken for their social media, LinkedIn headshot, and professional website.
Headshots for Doctors
I also love being a photographer for doctors in Florida, dentists, orthodontist offices, and dermatologists. We will create headshots that are clean, crisp, friendly, and very professional.
The Even Group is a team of doctors that has created a full health program with state-of-the-art health supplements. This team was a dream to work with! We were able to capture headshots that were clean and bright, as well as a group shot that truly showcased how professional, modern, and great they are at what they do. We also got photos of their products and individual headshots of each Doctor. This team was fully branded by the end of our fun day of shooting!
Does your doctor’s office need in-office images? We can do a full branding session to better capture the whole story of your office and team.

Music artist headshots and portraits are DA BOMB. The lighting can be dramatic, the poses, artistic, and as a musician myself, it’s always fantastic conversation.
