Small Business Portraits

A good friend of mine, Lily Griffin, reached out to me to take a few professional shots for her and a few friends. Many of them own their own small business (you can see Glorious Goblets‘ beautiful hand-painted glass), and some just need to represent themselves better online on social networks like LinkedIn. You can tell from their genuine smiles that it was truly a good time, with bottles even being opened (purely for staging, we promise).

Depending on their line of work, each person received backdrops that were more serious or more relaxed. My favorites though, as usual, are those that are full of warmth and are personable; shots that would probably be appropriate on a social network.
