Charleston Headshot Photography FAQs
At Stephanie Selby Photography Studio, we specialize in creating headshots that go beyond a simple photo. Every image is designed to communicate trust, warmth, and approachability—qualities that attract employers, clients, and collaborators. A professional headshot is more than just an image; it’s an investment in your personal brand or business and the way you’re perceived in both digital and real-world settings.
From corporate executives in Mount Pleasant to creative entrepreneurs in Downtown Charleston, the standout headshots we create have one thing in common: they look natural and refined. With expert posing, premium retouching, and attention to detail, we ensure your final images feel authentic while projecting professionalism across every platform from LinkedIn to press features.
- Attract better opportunities — Recruiters, clients, and collaborators are drawn to individuals who present themselves with clarity and confidence.
- Build brand trust — A cohesive set of team headshots on your company website creates a unified, polished image that strengthens brand reputation.
- Increase visibility and engagement — Whether on LinkedIn, your portfolio, or Google Business Profile, professional images generate stronger engagement and conversions.
At Stephanie Selby Photography, we’ve seen clients secure new jobs, land media features, and close more business simply by showing up online with imagery that conveys professionalism and authenticity.
A personal branding portrait is more expressive and creative. It focuses on personality, storytelling, and lifestyle elements that reflect who you are beyond your title. These portraits are ideal for entrepreneurs, creatives, and small business owners throughout Charleston, Mount Pleasant, and Daniel Island who want their brand to feel approachable and unique.
At Stephanie Selby Photography Studio, we help you choose the right style for your goals or blend both to create a professional yet personal image library that captures every side of your brand.
- Choose a corporate headshot if you represent a company or professional team and need consistent, formal images for staff directories, corporate websites, or investor materials.
- Select a business headshot if you want one strong professional portrait for platforms like LinkedIn, email signatures, or public speaking engagements.
- Book a personal branding session if you are an entrepreneur, coach, or creative professional who wants multiple images for marketing, social media, and websites that tell your story.
If you are unsure, our Charleston headshot photographer team will guide you through your options and help you select a session that aligns perfectly with your goals and career stage.

For a timeless and elevated look, Charleston professionals often choose neutral tones like navy, white, gray, or beige, along with one or two accent colors that match their brand palette. Bring a mix of formal and casual outfits so you have variety in your final images. During your pre-session consultation, we will review your wardrobe choices together and guide you on what photographs best in our lighting and background setups.
For Charleston clients shooting outdoors, we often recommend earth tones and soft blues that complement the Lowcountry landscape and warm coastal light. Bold colors can work well for creative professionals, especially when balanced with neutral layering pieces. At Stephanie Selby Photography Studio, we help you select colors that bring out your natural features and ensure your portraits look cohesive across all platforms.
