Headshot Sessions
Do you own a business, or do any kind of networking? Have you ever had to market yourself to a potential employer or client? Do you need to brand yourself and market your business on social media? If any of these apply to you then you know how important it is to make a good first impression! Your headshots are often your first chance to make that impression. Do you really want that impression to be from an cell phone selfie? Make it a great one with professional portraits.
Here’s what some of my clients use their Headshots for:
profile photos on social media, like Linked-In, Facebook, Instagram, and others
content for their social media feeds
personal, business, or corporate websites
printed marketing materials
album covers and book covers
personal use and gifts
Reviews
"Excellent work. Perfect for people who hate having their picture taken or are not photogenic."
-Merrill
"Thank you so much Lorraine for the fabulous business portraits! I'm a music teacher and so I wanted something professional, yet approachable since I work mostly with children. That's exactly what I got and I couldn't be more happy!"

“When I sent a message to Mortensen Photography, I was contacted by Lorraine and met with her to discuss options. The second meeting was for the photo shoot, I walked in feeling like a stranger and walking out feeling like a friend. It was the easiest experience I have had when having professional photos done. I blink when I shouldn't, I overthink my pose and it all comes out in the photo's. Lorraine was able to make me feel at ease; laughing and actually really enjoying the experience. I am thrilled with the final results and highly recommend her. Organized, professional, friendly and experienced. Thanks so much Lorraine, Mortensen Photography!”

“I just spent the day with Lorraine having pictures taken. She is great at getting you comfortable with being photographed, positioning you to look your best and awesome at what she does! Highly recommend her to anyone!!”
-Tammy
“Wonderful experience, I cannot recommend Lorraine enough. I usually dislike pictures of myself as I am never happy with them. Lorraine put me at ease with her open, friendly personality and helped see otherwise. I am SO happy with the results, I look great! She was so accommodating and helpful and a great resource for better understanding the process and what to expect. Just a really really positive experience overall and I look forward to booking her again in the future for a family session.”

Headshot Session Pricing
Headshot Sessions are $150 and include:
Styling & Planning Appointment: To create your portraits we will start with a Styling & Planning Appointment. At this appointment we will talk about the style of portraits you would like, and discuss your choice of location or background, your wardrobe, as well as hair styling & makeup options, and how to prepare for your session. Your Styling & Planning Appointment is a great way for us to plan everything out and it’s a great chance for us to get to know each other and will help you feel more relaxed and comfortable on the day of your photo shoot.
Photo Shoot: I'll do my best to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and will be guiding you through the entire photo shoot so you don't have to worry about what to do. I will direct you through a variety of poses that are designed to make you look your very best!
Portrait Reveal & Ordering Appointment: Your session fee does not include any digital images or printed portraits, so about 1 - 2 weeks after your photo shoot we will meet again for your Portrait Reveal & Ordering Appointment. This is when you will see the best images from your session and purchase the ones that you love. I offer digital images, portrait collections, and a variety or printed portraits.
