Boston Individual Color Block Headshot Sessions:
Think professional headshots are a tad too conventional for your brand? Think again! Many of my clients choose to jazz up their headshots using color blocks—bold, solid-colored backgrounds that add that extra “oomph.” These blocks of color are a fun way to express your personality and hone in on your personal brand.
If you’re looking to stand out and showcase your creativity, color blocks are the way to go. Coordinate your background with your outfit, or throw in a complimentary color to make your headshot pop. Once we’ve decided on your color block choice, I’ll help you convey your brand using posing, lighting, angling, and more. Can’t decide on just one background? No problem! We can test out multiple backgrounds to make sure that we strike the right tone.
Why Use Color Blocks?
Color blocks are the best way to make a statement without saying anything at all. Using vibrant colors, you can immediately convey your desired message to your target clients, employers, and partners.
Color blocks might be a great fit for you if:
You’re a creative professional looking for an impactful way to express your brand
You want to stand out from the crowd and from competitors
A color block headshot will connect better with your audience than a corporate headshot would
You’d like to use this headshot across a variety of brand mediums (ie: LinkedIn, Instagram, even print!)

Choosing the Right Color Block:
With so many options to choose from, it’s common to be a little overwhelmed when it comes to deciding on color blocks. I’m happy to work with you and try a variety of colors until we find the perfect fit for you.
When choosing the right background, I always advise clients to think about the following questions before making their decision:
What tone are you going for? Your color choice can majorly affect the entire feel of your headshot so it’s important to think about tone. For example, if you’re looking for a warmer feel, staying away from the cooler blues, greens, and purples might be the right direction for you.
What message do you want to send? Color blocks can convey a lot in one headshot so it is important to understand exactly what you are trying to say. Are you looking for a more whimsical feel? Perhaps a pastel color is the way to go.
What outfits are you wearing? While complimentary color block backgrounds can make you stand out, the last thing we want is a background that clashes with your outfit. Think carefully about the color scheme of your wardrobe so we can make sure the focus is on you, not your outfit.
Need some extra help choosing a color? I’m here for you! During our shoot, I’ll help you brainstorm fun color block backgrounds that will make you shine. If you have any more questions about which color to choose, feel free to contact me directly. You can also check out my FAQ page for any questions you might have.
