BIO
Colleen Neel is a Nashville-based headshot and personal branding photographer. She got her start photographing black and white film portraits of the babies in her care at a Seattle infant daycare, and that early love of capturing people led her into a full-time photography career. She spent years as a graduation photographer before returning to her true passion: headshots. She studied under Peter Hurley, widely regarded as the top headshot photographer in the world, and built her business starting with corporate headshots before expanding into branding photography to give her clients even more value. Today, Colleen helps business owners and leaders get images they actually love and use, photos that reflect who they are and the caliber of the work they do.

In this session, Colleen breaks down what modern headshots actually are, why they matter more than ever for business owners and industry leaders, and how to use them strategically in your marketing to build trust and bring in more business.
