The Best Locations in San Antonio For Headshots and Brand Sessions



What is almost more important than figuring out what to wear or what props to bring for your upcoming photoshoot? 


Location, location, location!


You are certainly the star of your photoshoot, but the location you choose can help you and your brand shine even brighter.




Why is Location Important For Your Headshots and Branding? 

When we plan for a photo session, one of the most essential questions that we consider is, “How do we accurately portray your story?”

We can make your message clear with our professional equipment, savvy editing skills, and more, but the location of your photoshoot is the missing piece to the puzzle. A well-thought-out location for your photoshoot can help give insight into you and your brand, and translate your desired look and feel for your images. 


So yes, we take location scouting VERY seriously over here! 



How Do you Choose the Perfect Location For your Photoshoot? 

Here’s how we like to think about it:


When it comes to choosing the location for your photoshoot, the process starts and ends with YOU. To help you narrow down the best location, we’ll use a planning session to ask you a few questions about yourself, your business, where you envision using your new images, and what story you want to tell your audience to determine which location is perfect for your shoot. 



A few other things to consider might be: 

  • Do you have brand colors you’d like to incorporate into your shoot? 

  • What makes you or your business unique? 

  • Who is your ideal client? What are they like?

  • What do you like to do for fun that we can capture in your shoot? 

  • Do you have a location idea in mind? 

  • Are there any specific action shots that you need? 



Like we said, choosing a location is all about you. So, in an effort to help you find THE perfect spot, we’ll combine our experience and list of go-to locations with your unique needs to come up with the best location for your photoshoot! 

On that note - here are a few of our favorites! 😍




Location Ideas For Headshot Sessions

Are you ready for your close-up? Whether we’re shooting corporate headshots or headshots for just you, we want to find the best location that helps YOU stand out.


After all, the focus should be on you, so let’s find the behind-the-scenes elements that help to tie it all together. 

Of course, a studio is an excellent choice for snapping headshots. A studio would allow you to set the tone for your headshots and have more control over the environment. Still, scenic locations such as downtown or a museum are exciting locations for headshots, too.

It all depends on the look and feel that you’re after for your headshots. 




Location Ideas For Branding Sessions

When it comes to branding sessions, we want to choose a location that helps add to your brand’s story.


An at-home branding shoot is always a good idea because you’re already in your comfort zone, and it’ll be easier to let your personality shine. Plus, you’d be surrounded by your own props to use in your session. 


Shooting in an office is another idea for a branding location that’ll help us capture your CEO energy.

Remember, branding sessions are all about you, as the person behind the brand. So shooting at one of your favorite locations to grab a coffee or hang out is the perfect way to highlight who you are in your branding session. 




A Few FAQs, Answered:

We always get plenty of questions about locations, so we thought we’d answer some of your most frequently asked questions here: 

  • Are any locations off-limits? Good question. No place is off-limits here, as we welcome your creativity and thinking outside of the box. If you have a great idea that speaks to you, then let’s make it happen. 

  • What happens if it rains and we’ve chosen an outdoor location? Have no fear, we keep several backup dates open every month in the case of bad weather. In addition, there’s no charge to reschedule if it’s raining or overcast.
