Your headshot should look like you on your best day. Confident. Approachable. Polished. Real. At B. Farnum Photography, I create business headshots and personal branding images for entrepreneurs, professionals, creatives, and teams across Vermont. Whether you need a fresh LinkedIn photo, updated website images, or consistent team headshots for your business, I photograph people in a way that feels professional without feeling stiff or overly posed. I work with clients in Burlington, Middlebury, Shelburne, South Burlington, and beyond, offering both studio-style and on-location headshot sessions designed to help you show up well online and in your business.
Professional Headshots That Don’t Feel Stiff or Awkward
Let’s be honest. Most people do not show up excited to have their headshot taken. A lot of people are worried about what to wear, how to stand, what to do with their hands, or whether their smile is going to feel forced.
That is where I come in.
My approach is relaxed, encouraging, and guided from start to finish. I help with posing, expression, wardrobe suggestions, and the little details that make a big difference on camera. You do not need modeling experience. You do not need to know your “good side.” You just need someone who knows how to bring out the best in you without making the session feel uncomfortable.
The result is a headshot that feels polished, natural, and aligned with your brand.
Business Headshots for Entrepreneurs, Professionals, and Teams in Vermont
A strong headshot matters because it is often your first impression. Before someone books, buys, calls, or sends an inquiry, they are usually seeing your face on your website, social media, directory profile, or LinkedIn page.
Your photographs should reflect the level of care and professionalism you bring to your work.
I photograph headshots for small business owners, attorneys, creatives, real estate professionals, educators, executives, therapists, makers, and teams of all sizes. Whether you need one standout image or a cohesive set of professional portraits for your whole staff, I can create images that feel current, elevated, and true to your business.
Studio Headshots and On-Location Headshots
Some clients want a clean and timeless studio look. Others want images that feel more connected to their office, workspace, or brand environment. I offer both.
Headshots can be photographed with a classic, polished look or with a more natural and environmental feel, depending on where you plan to use the images and how you want your brand to be seen. For businesses needing multiple employee headshots, on-location sessions are a great way to create a consistent professional look while keeping things convenient for your team.
No matter the setting, the goal stays the same: images that feel confident, approachable, and refined.
Personal Branding Photography for Business Owners and Creatives
Sometimes you need more than a traditional headshot.
If you are building a brand, showing up online consistently, or marketing your business in multiple places, personal branding photography gives you more variety to work with. These sessions can include classic headshots, relaxed portraits, behind-the-scenes images, workspace photos, and brand-focused content that helps tell a fuller story about who you are and what you do.
Your business is not generic, and your photos should not be either.
What It’s Like to Work With Me
I believe great headshots come from a mix of preparation, good light, and helping people feel comfortable enough to relax in front of the camera.
Before your session, we can talk through how the images will be used, what kind of look you want, and which setting makes the most sense for your brand. During the session, I will guide you through posing and expression so you never feel like you are left guessing.
Some clients want a polished corporate feel. Some want something softer and more approachable. Some want a mix of both. I tailor the session to your goals so the final images feel like they truly represent you.
An Inclusive Headshot Experience
Everyone deserves to feel seen, respected, and comfortable in front of the camera.
I believe headshots should feel welcoming and affirming for all people, no matter your gender expression, style, industry, or comfort level in front of the lens. My goal is to create a professional experience where you can show up as yourself and leave with photographs that feel confident, natural, and right for you.
When It’s Time to Update Your Headshot
If your current headshot is cropped from an old photo, taken in bad lighting, or no longer reflects where you are in your business, it may be time for something better.
A fresh professional headshot can help you show up more confidently on your website, LinkedIn, speaker bios, email signatures, marketing materials, and social media. It is a small detail that can make a very strong impression.
