When it comes to updating your professional headshot, there are a lot of options. We at Photography by Misty certainly have our opinions, however, it helps for our clients to start off with a basic understanding of what is right for their industry, their branding message, and their personality.
In-Studio Headshots
Coming to our home studio in Plano, where we have a variety of backdrops, is the least expensive option. Backgrounds include variances of grey, earth tones, solid black, or solid white. The greys and earth tones take us back to the day of original headshots. They are classic and traditional. However, even bankers, financial planners, and lawyers are shirting away from this look, however, they are safe bets. A black backdrop is my fave look, as subjects really pop. With a little backlighting even dark-haired subjects will shine on their LinkedIn profiles, marketing messages, and more.
Another in-studio selection is a white backdrop, which deserves its own paragraph. By taking your portrait on white, you have a plethora of ways to play. Let’s just bullet-point the many reasons why the sky is the limit!
-
You have the freedom to be integrated into your marketing without being married to a rectangle. Your final professional headshot can be integrated into an email signature, a business card, and a website banner.
-
Crisp and clean
-
We can transport your anywhere. For example, a recent client of mine is a Christian romance novelist. We were able to transport her to the fictitious setting of Briar Creek, Carolinas, USA.
-
If you choose white, we can also turn your headshot into a social media banner with a clean slate to add verbiage.
-
We can easily match your company’s existing brand.
Hassle Free Headshots
The most convenient option for a headshot is our hassle-free option. Whether you are officing out of your home in Dallas, at a Plano shared office space, or work from the 10th floor of a Frisco office building, we’d love to simplify your life by packing up the studio and bringing it to you. All the backdrop options mentioned above are yours for the asking. And, of course, we’ll come with all the professional lighting needed to turn your corporate headquarters into a professional studio. Yes, the price goes up by $100, however, you’ll get two final images vs one. Invite the team to join in on the reindeer games, and the price per person will get less expensive.
Environmental Headshots
Do you know what we really like at Photography by Misty? Environmental headshots. When we set up at Granite Park we are assigned a conference room. However, more times than not, we peruse the campus, landing on the perfect spot. Sometimes that’s the grand lobby of one of their seven buildings, other times it’s under the willow tree and we’ll even meander over to the ever-beautiful (and entertaining and oh-so-delicious) boardwalk. Beautiful Plano headshots also happen when we get invited to head up the elevator and use the company’s branded office space. It doesn’t get much more personal than a newly designed headquarters.
When in Dallas, I try every which way I can to use the city skyline (ranked as one of the top in the United States), as I think it is the ultimate headshot backdrop.
Gotta go…… ! Packing up now to head to Dallas, finding someone, anyone needing an updated professional portrait.
After returning to the studio:
I hope I didn’t confuse you even more. Go ahead and hop on LinkedIn to see what others in your industry are doing, which headshots speak to you the most as well as which ones make you crinkle your nose (selfies taken in the bathroom mirror - are people still doing that?). We are also here to talk you through the process.
Whatever you land on, you’ll get pain-free (even fun), professional and genuine results. We take pride in providing the best headshots in Plano, Dallas, Frisco, Fort Worth, and beyond.

Misty Hoyt - Hi there, Lisa,
It's $59 more. And, yes, we can move you almost anywhere. The Dallas skyline was just an example. We may have to charge a bit extra if we need to purchase a backdrop.
Give us a call if you'd like to schedule: 214.235.3239

Lisa Penney - What is "teleport headshot"? Is that if you use the Dallas skyline? It's $109 more for it?
