In business, first impressions matter. Your professional image should communicate credibility, confidence, and approachability — before you ever say a word.
Many professionals know their current headshot or brand images don’t reflect who they are today, but they’re unsure how to fix it. It can feel uncomfortable to be photographed or hard to find someone who understands your industry, your goals, and your vision.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Susan Heard, a professional headshot and branding photographer based in Germantown, Tennessee, working with business leaders, entrepreneurs, and teams across the Greater Memphis area. I help professionals present themselves with clarity and confidence through intentional, high-quality imagery that supports their business and personal brand.
Every session begins with understanding your goals and the message you want your images to convey. From wardrobe coordination and backdrop selection to posing and expression coaching, I guide you through each step of the process.
My approach combines professional lighting, precise composition, and clear direction to create portraits that look polished, genuine, and ready for any platform — LinkedIn, company websites, marketing materials, or speaking engagements.
Whether you need executive headshots, team branding portraits, or a comprehensive personal branding session, every image is crafted to enhance your professional reputation and strengthen your visual presence in today’s competitive marketplace.
My Germantown studio is designed for efficiency and comfort — a private, professional space where clients can prepare, collaborate, and focus. It’s also a hub for connection and growth, hosting local business events and professional development gatherings for the Memphis community.
With years of experience photographing executives, corporate teams, and entrepreneurs, I understand the balance between professionalism and personality — creating images that look credible, current, and authentic.
Your image is one of your most valuable business assets. Let’s make sure it works as hard as you do.
