Elevated portraits · Refined production · Unmatched experience

Corporate headshots and branding portraits across the Hudson Valley

We produce portraits built around a relaxed environment, so you feel like yourself in front of the camera. That approach is paired with fifteen years of professional production and high-end lighting experience.

From executive portraits and corporate headshots to on-location portraiture and branding imagery, we approach every session with the same goal: to create images that feel intentional, striking and atmospheric.

If you're looking for photography with an editorial sensibility — full of character and texture — get in touch to reserve a session. We photograph teams of two and teams of two hundred, on location at your office or in the studio.


What we do

Three kinds of work, one standard of production

Corporate headshots & executive portraits

A fully equipped mobile studio comes to your office. Consistent lighting & skin tones across across every person on the team, an efficient workflow that respects everyone's calendar, and images that read as confident and approachable rather than stiff.

Actor & performer headshots

Commercial and theatrical looks shot with the casting room in mind. Real expression, clean retouching, and files delivered in the crops and sizes agents, casting sites and breakdown services actually ask for.

Personal & business branding photography

A cohesive library of images for your website, decks, press and social. Built from a shot list, lit cleanly, and colour-matched so everything looks like it belongs to one brand.

Where we work

On location across the Hudson Valley, the Capital Region and western Connecticut

We're based in Accord, in Ulster County, with a second studio in Brooklyn. The mobile studio travels — most of the region is inside a comfortable drive, and there's no travel fee within the areas below.

Fifteen years, and a background that shows up in the work

Jim Lafferty's career includes production support for the Saturday Night Live photo team, creating weekly celebrity host and musical guest portraits. Editorial credits span features, covers and celebrity profiles.

Commercial clients have included David Yurman, Coach, Adrienne Vittadini, Maybelline, Uniqlo and Stitch Fix. That experience is why a fifty-person headshot day runs on schedule and every frame matches.
