Clean, confident, and completely you. Whether you need one great image or a complete visual library — there is a session designed for exactly what you need.
for every professional who needs to show up visually
The photo next to your name is doing work whether you think about it or not.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
A professional headshot is one of the highest-return investments in your career. It is the first impression on LinkedIn, the face beside your bio on your firm's website, the image that shows up when a potential client searches your name. It is working for you — or against you — every single day.
A great headshot does not need to be complicated. It needs to be genuine, well-lit, and actually look like you at your best. That is exactly what the San Clemente studio is set up to produce — for anyone who walks through the door, regardless of industry, regardless of gender, regardless of whether you have ever enjoyed having your photo taken.
Two options. One clear recommendation based on what you need. Find yours below.
If you need one great image quickly and efficiently — the mini session is your answer. If you want a full range of images across multiple looks for your website, social media, and marketing — the full branding session is the right call.
For the professional who knows exactly what they need — one great headshot, done right, without spending half the day on it. A focused 30-minute session with up to 3 outfit changes and same-day image selection. In and out with a headshot you will actually use.

Headshot sessions at Julie Irene Photography welcome everyone — men and women, every industry, every career stage. Attorneys and real estate agents. Physicians and coaches. Executives and entrepreneurs. People who photograph well and people who have spent their careers avoiding cameras.
The studio is a calm, private space with beautiful light and a photographer who has been doing this for seventeen years. Most people who come in saying they are bad at photos leave saying they cannot believe how the portraits turned out. The approach is direct, efficient, and focused entirely on making you look like the most professional version of yourself — not a posed, awkward version of you performing for a camera.
For men specifically: the mini session is almost always the right call. It is focused, efficient, and produces exactly what a LinkedIn profile or firm website needs without requiring half a day or any decisions about hair and makeup. Come in wearing what you would wear to an important meeting and we handle everything else.
→ Wear what you would wear to the most important meeting of the year — not your daily uniform, your best version of it.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
→ Solid colors and subtle textures photograph better than patterns, stripes, or large logos. When in doubt, go neutral.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
→ Bring two or three options. You will choose together before the session starts — and having options is always better than being locked in.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
→ For men: a well-fitted blazer or dress shirt in navy, charcoal, or white photographs cleanly in almost any context. Skip the novelty tie.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
→ For women: fitted necklines that frame the face. Colors that complement your skin tone rather than compete with it.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
→ Get a good night's sleep. Drink water. Arrive a few minutes early so you are not rushed and tense when you walk in.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
→ A full styling guide is sent before every session. Everything above and more — specific to your session type and goals.
She Means Business is a full personal branding campaign for women entrepreneurs in Orange County — hair and makeup, a magazine-style shoot, a feature in the She Means Business magazine, and an invitation to the Gallery Exhibition. If there is a woman in your life who has been putting her own visibility off while she takes care of everything else, tell her about it. Spots are limited and the magazine deadline is real.

If you need one great headshot for LinkedIn, a firm website, or a speaking bio — the mini session is almost certainly the right call. It is 30 minutes, focused, and efficient. If you are the face of your own business or brand and you need images for your website, social media, email marketing, and press features — the full branding session gives you the range to work with. If you are still not sure after reading both options, reach out and one conversation will make it clear.
Yes — the studio welcomes male clients for professional headshots. The mini session without hair and makeup ($490) is the typical choice for men: focused, efficient, and produces a polished result without any extra steps. Come wearing what you would wear to an important meeting and the session handles the rest. Many male clients are in and out in under an hour with a headshot they actually use.
The headshot mini session is $490 and includes a 30-minute session, up to 3 outfit changes, same-day image selection, and 2 fully-edited digital images. The version with a professional hair and makeup touch-up is $590. Additional images are available at $250 each, with a buy-3-get-1-free bundle. Full portrait collections are also available if you want more images.
The $590 mini session includes a 45-minute professional hair and makeup touch-up before the session. The $490 version does not include hair and makeup — it is designed for clients who arrive ready or who prefer to handle their own styling. For full branding sessions, hair and makeup is available as an add-on. It is highly recommended for anyone who wants to arrive camera-ready without the stress of doing it themselves beforehand.
Yes. Mini sessions include a same-day image selection appointment — you view your images and choose your favorites the same day as your session, approximately 20 minutes after the shoot. The fully edited final images are delivered digitally within approximately two weeks of selection. If you have a specific deadline — a speaking event, a press feature, a website launch — mention it when you book and we will do everything possible to accommodate the timeline.
The short answer: what you would wear to the most important meeting of the year. Classic and fitted reads as polished; trendy and patterned dates quickly. Solid colors and subtle textures photograph better than busy prints. For men, a well-fitted blazer or dress shirt in navy, charcoal, white, or a muted tone works in almost every context. For women, fitted necklines that frame the face in colors that complement your skin. Bring two or three options — you will choose together before the session starts. A full styling guide is sent ahead of every session.
The studio is at 971 Calle Negocio in San Clemente, California. Clients come in from throughout Orange County — Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Beach, Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, and beyond. For professionals who want an outdoor or location-specific element to their branding session, San Clemente's coastline and downtown are available options to discuss.

This is what an extended family session actually looks like before you see the final images.
Two strobes on the beach are a must with this many people if you plan on getting that gorgeous sunset perfect. Twenty-some people in eucalyptus trees requires hauling some stools.
Then you have me trying to get everyone to look the same direction at the same time, which never happens.... but good thing I know how to head swap!
Swipe to the last slide.
That`s the part they actually hang on the wall.

Yesterday I took a mental break. I’ve been dealing with some perimenopause symptoms for the last few years and the worst part of it all has been my sleep.
2am. Wide awake. Again.
my mind goes from thing to thing – nothing important, not one clear thought I could actually grab onto. I’m laying there doing breathing exercises, hoping that will help but sometimes that just makes me more aware that I’m still awake. My heart’s going a little faster than it should be. I’ve read enough about cortisol at this point to understand why, but understanding something and being able to fix it are two different things.
I have been doing everything. Functional medicine appointments, every few months, bloodwork, daily workouts because they’re supposed to help, supplements I could fill a small cabinet with. I just received a cooling mattress pad last week in hopes that will help as well. I cut off all caffeine after 10 AM. Even warm showers at night. Next step I’m gonna consider acupuncture.
Some months are great. Then all of a sudden weeks will go by without one good night sleep.
The thing that nobody told me about Perry menopause is that it’s different for everybody. Nobody hands you and manual, and most of the advice you get doesn’t actually apply to you.
I’m figuring it out. Slowly. Some nights are better than others.
If you’re in the same place, I generally love to know what’s helping you. I’m sharing this for another reason then I know I’m not the only one lying awake at 2 AM doing math and how many hours of sleep I can still get.
The women who book She Means Business sessions are usually the ones who have been doing kick ass things for years and still don`t have images that show for it.
They`ve got speaking gigs, writing books, and clients who trust them — and a headshot from 2016 they`re quietly embarrassed by every time they have to use it.
The session is a full day at my San Clemente studio. Hair and makeup. Multiple looks. Behind-the-scenes footage they can use for their businesses. A feature in the She Means Business Orange County magazine at the end of the campaign. As well as an invitation to the campaign-end Gallery Exhibition.
We still have space for 17 more amazing women. If you`ve been meaning to do this, this is the one for you!
