what we do

We specialize in professional headshots in Cincinnati, delivering modern and inviting image that capture the spirit of your team and feel like the heartbeat of your brand.

Aka: professional portraits you proudly share on your company's website and that employees want to use on LinkedIn.  

our process

Every part of our headshot process is designed to make your employees the hero of your business (because, they are).

Start with strategy.

One that defines your headshots as a brand asset; accounts for individuals of all shapes, colors and sizes; and allows for your headshot collection to grow without compromising visual cohesion.

Simplify the process.

Let's all acknowledge that having your corporate headshot taken is an exercise in courage and vulnerability. Our approach invites calm in the place of chaos and confidence in the place of uncertainty.

Celebrate each person.

We help marketing leaders plan a picture day that feels more like a company party than an exercise in corporate marketing.

Shape company culture.

Corporate headshots do more than put a face to a name. A well-executed headshot experience like the one we provide at WorkLife Studios can be a catalyst for creating a people-first workplace culture where every person at every level is recognized and valued.

  • How long does your process take? When should we reach out?
    Our comprehensive and strategic process for stand-alone brand photography generally takes 2-3 months from initial contact to receipt of final images.
