-Sherill Quinn

Authenticity matters.

An inauthentic headshot can undermine your efforts to connect with stakeholders, employees, or employers.

Bringing out the best in people.

My skipper in the Navy told me, “If you’re not having fun, you’re not doing it right.” His advice is the core of my approach to life and my working style. Depending on what resonates with the person I photograph, I might be silly, intellectual, or serious, but I’m always having fun.

5/5

Dean was a genuine pleasure to work with.

A Simple Three-Step Plan for Great Headshots

Before Your Photoshoot

A few days before your photoshoot, we’ll talk over Zoom to answer your questions and help you get ready. 

During Your Photoshoot

There’s no time limit on your session. We won’t take longer than we need, but I won’t rush you out the door with second-best headshots.

I’ll coach you on projecting the attitudes and emotions that suit you best.

After Your Photoshoot

I’ll offer my professional opinion about any photo to help you make good, objective decisions about which ones you want to buy.

Employee Headshots Santa Clara

I was riffing away while doing a guy’s headshots last year. He asked me if I had a “Joke Bone?” I responded saying, “No. It’s called a funny bone.”

He asked if telling jokes was a knee-jerk reaction for me. I told him “It’s reflexive.”

Company Headshots San Jose

I think I’m a comedian and am on a life-long search for people who agree.

My real secret to a great headshot is that I love my job so much that I can’t wait to get to work in the mornings. I bring this enthusiasm to every shoot, using my good humor and lust for life to lift people’s spirits, share a laugh, and make them smile.

5/5

Dean is very meticulous and makes sure you get the best overall picture.

5/5

Dean’s expertise, professionalism, and personalized approach guarantee an enjoyable experience.
