Headshot photographer in Pasadena.
On-location headshots for people and teams across Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley. Offices, practices, and campuses, photographed on site in one visit.
Headshots for a city with a lot of professionals in it
Pasadena is law firms, medical groups, architecture and engineering practices, universities and research staff, nonprofits, and financial advisors. It is a city where credentials matter and the photo has to match them. I photograph individuals and whole departments, and for teams I keep the lighting identical across everyone so the directory finally looks like one company.
The office buildings around Colorado and Lake have solid conference rooms and good afternoon light. If you want the city in the frame, Old Pasadena, the City Hall courtyard, and the streets near the Playhouse District give you real architecture, while the Arroyo Seco and the older residential streets offer trees and shade.
I also serve nearby areas including South Pasadena, Altadena, San Marino, La Canada Flintridge, Sierra Madre, and Eagle Rock. If you are a little farther out, just ask.

Pasadena headshot questions
The things people ask before booking a session here.
Individuals in Pasadena pay $350 for a one hour professional session, two looks and six retouched photos. Actors pay $475 for both theatrical and commercial looks, twelve retouched. Groups start at $500 and are quoted per head from there. Travel is already in the price.
Wherever suits you. Josh brings lights and a portable backdrop, so an office, a conference room, a lobby, your home, or a park nearby all work. There is no studio to drive to and no rented space to pay for. Sessions also run in neighboring areas like South Pasadena.
That is the main thing Josh does around here. Team shoots cover professional services, medicine, and academia and anyone else on the floor, start at five people, and are priced from a $500 base plus per person. Everybody ends up matching, which is usually the actual problem a company is trying to solve.
Individual professional shoots are returned in twenty four hours. Actor and team work runs about three business days. Deadlines get accommodated when they are flagged up front rather than afterwards.
He is warm, provides great direction, and ultimately, took headshots of me that I genuinely like!
