Your headshot is the first impression you make on every client, colleague, casting director, and recruiter who looks you up before they meet you. In St. Louis’s competitive professional market, that impression happens in a fraction of a second — and it happens hundreds of times a day without you even knowing it. St. Louis Headshot Photography Studio is part of the Shari Photography Family.
At St. Louis Headshot Photography Studio we believe every professional deserves a headshot that actually looks like them — confident, natural, and current. Not stiff. Not over-retouched. Not five years out of date. Just you, at your absolute best.
What We Photograph
Corporate & Executive Headshots Clean, modern, confidence-forward portraits for executives, managers, attorneys, physicians, financial professionals, and anyone whose face is part of their business. Built for LinkedIn, company websites, press features, and investor materials.
Acting Headshots Industry-standard theatrical, commercial, and film/TV headshots for St. Louis actors, performers, and talent at every career stage. Capturing your range, your castability, and the authentic personality that gets you called in.
Personal Branding Portraits A full library of images for entrepreneurs, speakers, coaches, and thought leaders who need more than a single headshot — sessions built around your story, your platform, and the clients you are trying to attract.
Corporate Team & Event Photography Full studio setups brought directly to your St. Louis office or event. Consistent lighting, consistent style, and same-day image selection for every team member — without pulling your people out of the office for half a day.
Why St. Louis Professionals Choose Our Studio
Every session includes the things that separate a great headshot from an average one — things most photographers never mention until after you have already booked.
15+ years of dedicated headshot specialization. Not a general studio that photographs everything. Headshots are all we do — every day, for over 15 years. That depth of experience shows up in every single image.
Guided posing and expression coaching. You do not need to know what to do in front of the camera. That is entirely our job. We coach you through every moment of your session so naturally that most clients forget they are being directed at all.
Same-day image selection. You view your favorites on a large studio monitor before you leave and choose exactly what you want. No waiting weeks. No guessing. No unpleasant surprises.
Natural, honest retouching delivered in 24 hours. Your photos will look like you — polished, professional, and true to who you are. Not filtered. Not over-processed. Not a stranger wearing your face.
Open seven days a week. Schedule your session before work, during lunch, or on a weekend — whatever fits your life.

| You’ll Actually Look Natural |
| The number one complaint people have about headshots is that they look stiff, forced, or like a different person. Rez’s relaxed, conversational style fixes that. He coaches you through genuine expressions and natural posture — not poses that feel like poses. |
| Headshots Are All We Do |
| Rez doesn’t shoot weddings on weekends and headshots on Tuesdays. This studio does one thing: professional portraits. That specialization means better results, a faster process, and a photographer who has seen every lighting challenge, skin tone, and nervous client imaginable. |
| Same-Day Image Selection |
| You don’t leave wondering if the photos were any good. You review your images on a large monitor right after your session, choose your favorites, and know exactly what’s coming. No waiting weeks. No unpleasant surprises. |
| Retouching That Still Looks Like You |
| Every selected image is hand-retouched by Rez — not outsourced, not automated. The goal is always the same: remove distractions, not character. Softer lines. Cleaner skin. Brighter eyes. You, polished — not you, unrecognizable. |
| Open 7 Days a Week |
| Your schedule is busy. The studio is open every day of the week, with easy online booking through Acuity. Lock in your session in under two minutes, without a phone-tag marathon. |

Pre-Session Consultation-
Before you arrive, Rez connects with you to understand your goals, your industry, and the look you’re going for. He’ll walk you through the best wardrobe options for your session so you show up prepared and confident — not guessing.
Your Studio Session
You’ll spend your session in a relaxed, comfortable environment at 5205 Gravois Ave. Rez guides you through natural posing and genuine expressions — keeping it conversational, never clinical. Most clients say they forgot they were even being photographed.
Same-Day Image Review
Right after your session, you sit down with Rez and review your images on a large monitor. You pick your favorites before you leave. No wondering, no waiting — you know exactly what’s been selected.
Retouched & Delivered in 24 Hours

What should I wear to my headshot session?
Every session includes a pre-shoot wardrobe consultation — Rez will walk you through the best choices based on your industry, brand, and the look you’re going for. In general, solid neutral and jewel-toned colors photograph best. Avoid busy patterns and logo-heavy clothing.
