The Standard For Headshots In The San Francisco Bay Area
Unmatched Quality in Professional Headshot Photography
I recently had a client tell me that S72 is the standard for headshots in the San Francisco Bay Area. At the time, I laughed it off. I thought he was just being kind. Obviously, there are a lot of headshot photographers in the San Francisco Bay Area. People choose photographers for many different reasons: location, price, and style. I'm not delusional enough to think that I am the only headshot photographer people want to go to.
But I am starting to think that there is a little bit of truth to what he was saying based on what I’ve been hearing from clients and others. The feedback I receive has been overwhelmingly positive, and it's starting to resonate with me that S72 Business Portraits might indeed be setting a standard for headshots in the San Francisco Bay Area (I can see your eyes rolling now).
The Client Stories Series: Real Testimonials, Real Impact
I have a client stories series on my site where past clients not only tell me about themselves, but they also share their experiences with S72. These stories have been illuminating, providing a window into the real-world impact of a quality headshot.
One client shared a story about being on a Zoom call with multiple people and receiving compliments about his headshot. When he told the group where he had them done, another participant on the call mentioned that they had also had their headshots done by me. It’s moments like these that highlight the ripple effect of a high-quality, professional headshot.
I hear stories like that from people all the time; when someone asks where they got their headshots done and they tell them S72, the other person got their headshots at S72 as well. This is likely why I have more 5-Star reviews than any other headshot photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The Power of Referrals: Trust Built Over Time
A large part of my business comes from referral clients. When someone trusts you enough to recommend your services to a friend, family member, or colleague, it's the highest form of compliment. It signifies that your work has left an impression and that your clients believe in the value of what you offer.
At S72, I focus on creating custom headshots that align with each client’s professional or personal brand. My goal is to help elevate their career, business, or professional image through a headshot that truly represents them. This personalized approach is what sets me apart and why so many clients return and refer others.

Why do clients say S72 sets the headshot standard in the Bay Area?
Clients point to superior lighting, custom styling, and natural retouching that keeps them looking like themselves, just better. They also note image quality and more 5-star reviews than any other local headshot photographer, which reinforces that “San Francisco Bay Area standard” reputation.
How does S72 customize a headshot for my personal brand?
Before the shutter clicks, I ask about your role, goals, and audience. We choose lighting, backdrop, and poses that match your message—corporate polish, creative edge, or something in between. Every decision, including final retouching, supports the brand story you want to tell.
What is the typical turnaround time from shoot to final image?
You’ll receive a private gallery link within an hour after the session. Once you pick favorites, standard retouching takes about three business days to a week. Rush edits are available if you need a headshot sooner for a press release or last-minute LinkedIn update.
I’ve seen AI headshots online—why choose a real session instead?
AI images can look flat or inauthentic and rarely capture genuine expression. A real session delivers authentic emotion, balanced lighting, and perfect color accuracy. Recruiters and clients trust a face that looks human and approachable, not an algorithm’s best guess.
