Warm, Grounded Headshots at the Halfway House in Boulder | Executive Coach & Couples Counselor Branding Session

Jaycee’s headshot session was designed to reflect the balance she brings to her work as both an executive coach and a couples counselor. She wanted photos that felt professional without losing the human, relational side of her story. We focused on creating images that bridge corporate presence with warmth and emotional depth. The result was a session that felt grounded, thoughtful, and true to who she is.

The historic Halfway House in Boulder was a perfect match for this vision. In October, the surrounding trees and soft stone textures added an organic backdrop that contrasted beautifully with Jaycee’s polished yet relaxed styling. A partly cloudy afternoon gave us even, gentle light that felt calm and approachable—ideal for headshots meant to live on both a website and LinkedIn.

Jaycee’s outfit played a big role in the feel of the session. Her long, flowy skirt paired with a chunky sweater and jacket created movement with every step. That natural motion reflected her connection to nature and her belief that life isn’t confined to offices and boardrooms—it also happens on hiking trails, in kitchens, and in quiet moments with the people we love. Choosing clothing with texture and movement can help branding photos feel less posed and more personal

One of the most meaningful parts of this shoot was simply spending time with Jaycee. Her passion for relationships and personal growth was obvious in every conversation we had. She brought such a steady, kind energy that I found myself wanting to keep photographing well past our scheduled time. It felt less like a photo session and more like a shared walk and conversation with someone deeply invested in helping others live with more awareness and connection.

This type of session is especially great for small business owners who want to refresh their website or LinkedIn with images that feel professional and human at the same time. If you’re looking for headshots that reflect who you are—not just what you do—I’d love to help you create something that feels aligned and authentic.
