At Shari Photography in St. Louis, we combine the power of professional business headshots with the inspiration of empowerment portraits in a single session. Our goal is to create images that highlight your professional presence while celebrating your confidence, strength, and individuality.
What is a Business Headshot?
A business headshot focuses on your professional image. It captures a clean, polished portrait ideal for LinkedIn profiles, company websites, press releases, or marketing materials.
Business headshots emphasize clarity, professionalism, and approachability. Photographers carefully consider lighting, background, and wardrobe to create a consistent, brand-aligned image. Poses are subtle, expressions confident, and styling professional.
Headshots help you present yourself as competent, trustworthy, and authoritative. They showcase confidence in a professional setting but do not explore personal storytelling or emotional expression.
What is an Empowerment Portrait?
In contrast, an empowerment portrait goes beyond professional polish to highlight confidence, self-discovery, and personal strength. These portraits combine fashion-style posing with expressive, emotional moments, capturing your personality in authentic and dynamic ways.
Empowerment portraits celebrate milestones, transformation, or personal growth. They reveal your inner confidence while showcasing poise, elegance, and individuality. Multiple wardrobe changes and guided posing create a versatile gallery of images that truly reflect who you are.

- Empowerment Portraits: We guide you through expressive poses, wardrobe changes, and intentional coaching to reveal confidence, strength, and poise.
- 15 Retouched Images: Every final image is expertly retouched to enhance your natural beauty while keeping your authenticity intact.
- Pre-Shoot Consultation & Same-Day Image Selection: We plan your session in advance and allow you to select your favorite images immediately after the shoot.
