Santa Monica & Westside Attorney Headshots for Modern Firms
Santa Monica and the broader Westside — Brentwood, West LA, Playa Vista — tend to house firms with a different visual identity than Downtown or Century City: more boutique, more tech- and media-adjacent, often with a more relaxed office aesthetic. We adjust our shooting style to match — headshots that feel modern and approachable rather than stiff, without losing professionalism.
Why Firms on the Westside Choose Us
A lot of Westside firms work with startups, entertainment companies, and media clients who expect a certain visual language on a website — cleaner, more contemporary, less “traditional law firm.” We shoot with that context in mind, and we’re comfortable adapting lighting and posing style to fit a firm’s brand rather than defaulting to one generic corporate look.
Our corporate photography experience on the Westside includes major clients like Carmel Partners, an investment firm, and HGA, a high-end architecture and design firm — the same level of executive polish we bring to law firms in this area.
What to Expect
Westside sessions tend to have a bit more flexibility built in — many offices in this area have good natural light or usable outdoor space, so we’ll often scout both indoor and outdoor options when we arrive. We’ll talk through the look you’re going for beforehand (modern and relaxed vs. more traditional) so the styling matches your firm’s actual brand rather than a one-size-fits-all corporate default.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our office has a more casual, modern vibe. Can headshots reflect that instead of looking like typical corporate photos?
Yes — we regularly adjust our approach for Westside firms specifically because many want headshots that feel current and approachable rather than formal and stiff.
Do you shoot outside, or only in-office?
Both are possible. If your building has good outdoor space or natural light, we can incorporate that; otherwise our full mobile studio setup works entirely indoors.
How far west do you travel — do you cover Venice and Playa Vista too?
Yes, our Westside coverage includes Santa Monica, Venice, Playa Vista, Brentwood, and West LA.
Can you shoot a smaller boutique firm (under 10 attorneys) or do you only take larger jobs?
We work with firms of all sizes — boutique Westside practices are a regular part of our client base.
