Therapist Headshots in Sausalito: A Polished Refresh for a Female-Led Practice

When you’re running a female-led business in Marin County—whether you’re a therapist, coach, or consultant—your brand photos matter. They’re often the very first impression a client has of you. Recently, I photographed Ann Cerney, a Marriage & Family Therapist (MFT) based in Sausalito, CA, who came to me for a simple, modern update to her headshots.

A Focus on Headshots

Ann booked my smallest package: a 30-minute mini branding session that includes 5 favorite images. For this session, Ann wanted classic, polished headshots only—and that’s exactly what we created. Using summer florals and modern downtown Sausalito textures as our backdrop, the result was a fresh, approachable set of portraits perfect for her website, social media, and marketing.

While Ann chose to focus exclusively on headshots, I often encourage clients to mix in a few lifestyle images—a detail of you writing in a notebook, walking down the street, or simply laughing between poses. These subtle storytelling moments help your brand feel well-rounded and relatable.

Why Regular Updates Matter

If your business is rooted in trust and connection, like therapy, your photos should always feel current and true to you. I recommend updating your branding images every two years, or sooner if:

• Your look has changed (hair, glasses, style).

• You’re launching something new, like a website or program.

• You’re craving a more modern or polished vibe.

Having a small library of images you love also saves you from scrambling when you need a photo for a podcast, speaking engagement, article, or client-facing opportunity.

Branding in Marin: Stand Out with Confidence

Branding photography in Marin is all about balancing natural light and real personality. Sausalito’s modern downtown streets, summer color, and architectural details gave Ann’s session a professional yet approachable look—exactly what clients want to see when choosing a therapist.

Whether you’re a therapist, wellness professional, or business owner, investing in photography for your female-led business is one of the smartest ways to elevate your brand. From headshot-only sessions to full branding packages with lifestyle imagery, I’ll help you build a photo library that makes you proud to show up online.
