Can’t think of a good location to get your professional headshots taken? I’ve been a headshot photographer for many years and I thought it’s finally time I share a list of my favourite locations with you! A lot of these are free locations, so if you’re not looking to rent a studio, some of these locations will be a good alternative.
Taking headshots in your own office or place of business can work well (I’ll show examples), and if you’re self-employed or a solopreneur, taking photos in your own home is also a great option. See examples below!

When looking for professional headshots that feel a bit more personal, I always suggest doing an environmental or lifestyle portrait photo session. These types of headshot photography sessions can be done on location, in your office or place of business and I bring portable studio lights to help boost the natural light.
Joan-Dianne is a psychotherapist in Winnipeg and I met up with her in her office space to create a portrait session that is relaxed and casual. Her portrait session was designed for communicating warmth, approachability and connection, which is a true reflection of the qualities she brings to every session she provides for her clients.
