When you think about headshots, do you picture the stiff, old-school version with a forced smile? Thankfully, those days are behind us. Today’s professionals need modern headshots—photos that not only look polished, but also capture personality, approachability, and brand identity. That’s what I’m about at Elle Kay Photography.

Recently, I had the joy of working with Laura, a Pensacola real estate agent who wanted to update her headshots and content. As a busy professional, Laura understands that her online presence is often the first impression potential clients see. Whether it’s on Instagram or her business website, she wanted images that felt professional and approachable.

Why Modern Headshots are Essential

+ First impressions matter. In today’s digital world, your headshot is often the first thing a client sees. A polished, modern image can instantly communicate credibility and confidence.

+ They tell your story. Unlike outdated headshots that feel stiff, modern sessions allow for variety—different backgrounds, natural light, and genuine expressions that reflect you.

+ Perfect for multi-use content. Laura’s new photos weren’t just for her business cards. We created a mix of classic headshots, lifestyle portraits, and social media-ready content. She can use these across her platforms for months to come.

Behind Laura’s Session

We chose clean, professional looks paired with natural backdrops to highlight her approachable personality. From classic headshots to relaxed lifestyle shots, the gallery gave her a versatile set of images that align perfectly with her brand.

Laura left her session feeling confident, with a gallery full of photos that will help her stand out in a competitive market. And that’s exactly the point of modern headshots—they’re not just about looking nice, they’re about building trust and connection with current and potential clients.
