Clients often look up a lawyer before they call. The headshot on your firm bio, your directory profiles and LinkedIn is part of that first impression. This guide covers what attorneys and law firms should plan for. For sessions, see professional headshots and corporate photography.
Consistency across the firm
The most common problem on firm websites is a team page where every photo looks different: one outdoors, one cropped from a wedding, one on a gray backdrop. Pick one look and keep it:
- Background: a plain light or mid-gray backdrop is classic and easy to match. A softly blurred office background feels more modern.
- Framing: the same crop, from mid-chest up, with the same space above the head.
- Lighting: the same direction and contrast for everyone.
We note the setup for each session, so associates who join next year can be photographed to match.
What to wear
- A dark suit or blazer is still the standard for most practice areas.
- Solid shirts and blouses in white, light blue or soft colors. Avoid thin stripes and small patterns.
- Simple jewelry and a tie that is not too bright.
- Bring a second, less formal outfit for LinkedIn and speaking bios.
Expression
A firm, approachable expression works for most lawyers: a slight smile with relaxed eyes. Litigation, family law and estate planning attorneys may want different tones, so we take both a serious and a warmer version.
Studio or your office
The studio at 1145 NW 28th St is the easiest way to keep every photo identical. For firms with several people, we can also photograph on-site at your office. Many Miami firms are in Brickell, Downtown and Coral Gables.
Planning a firm session
Send a list of names and sizes of the final images your website needs. We schedule people in short blocks so nobody waits long, and keep the same setup from the first person to the last.
Check hourly prices in the photo calculator, reserve with a 30% deposit, or call (786) 659-1157.
Frequently asked questions
Can new associates match our existing attorney photos?
Yes, if the original setup is recorded. We note background, framing and lighting for each firm session so later photos match.
Can you photograph our attorneys at our office?
Yes. For firms with several people we can set up on-site. Individual attorneys usually come to the studio at 1145 NW 28th St.
