Professional headshots for LinkedIn, corporate teams, and personal branding. On-location at your Denver office or wherever works best for you, without the awkward posing.
Most headshots look like headshots: stiff, over-lit, and nothing like the person you meet in a room. That's not a camera problem. It's a photographer problem.
My background is in photojournalism. I spent years learning how to get people to forget the camera is there: how to catch the expression between the posed ones, the moment someone relaxes and just looks like themselves. That's the same skill I bring to a headshot session.
Whether you need a quick LinkedIn refresh or a full personal branding shoot, you'll walk away with images that look like you, on a good day, in the right light, confident.
Whether you're a solo operator refreshing your brand or a company of 200 updating everyone's profile, I've got a session for you.
From associate to partner, your photo is on the firm website, bar directory, and every pitch deck. A sharp, authoritative headshot that matches the level of work you do.
I bring professional lighting and a portable backdrop to your Denver office and work through your whole team in one session. Consistent look, minimal disruption. Available throughout the metro: Cherry Creek, LoDo, RiNo, the Tech Center, and beyond.
Realtors, brokers, C-suite leaders, and board members whose photo is on yard signs, listing pages, and investor decks. One session, images you'll put to work.
Before your session, we do a quick 10-minute call to talk through your goals: what the images are for, what look you're going for, what you're wearing. You show up prepared, not guessing.
I'll send a simple prep guide covering wardrobe tips, what to avoid, and how to get ready for the day. No surprises.
I don't direct people like mannequins. I talk with you, move you naturally through a few setups, and watch for the moments when you forget the camera is there. That's always the best frame.
Most clients are surprised how quickly they relax. Most sessions feel less like a photoshoot and more like a conversation with a camera in the room.

"I hired Alyson as a headshot photographer, and I'm so glad I did! Kind and professional, she made the shoot easy and fun. The results are incredible — it was tough to narrow down my favorites! I'm thrilled to have fresh new headshots to update my website and professional channels. I would work with her again in a heartbeat."
"Alyson has a unique feel and ability to make photo shoots feel organic and authentic. She knows how to make the client feel at ease even when circumstances aren't ideal. She is patient, thoughtful and creative not only during the shoot, but beforehand and afterwards as well. You're getting one of the most well recognized and respected photographers in the Denver area."
"I've worked with Alyson McClaran Photography for years across higher ed events, portrait and headshot, and live music. Her photojournalism background makes for incredible authentic images that truly capture the spirit of her subjects. She's communicative, quick to respond, and turns edited photos around super fast."
I started my career as a photojournalist, shooting on deadline for newspapers and wire services where getting the shot right the first time was the only option. That instinct for the real, unguarded moment is exactly what I bring to headshot sessions. Most photographers direct you into a pose. I watch for the expression between the poses.
Over 13 years and 500+ sessions, I've photographed everyone from solo professionals refreshing a LinkedIn photo to corporate teams of 50. My editorial work has been published in The New York Times, TIME Magazine, and ABC News. I'm based in Denver and shoot on-location across the metro.
Solid colours generally photograph best. Avoid busy patterns, logos, and bright white. Navy, grey, burgundy, and earth tones all work well. I'll send a full prep guide before your session covering exactly what to wear and what to avoid.
Absolutely. I bring professional lighting, a portable backdrop, and everything needed to create consistent, polished headshots at your office. Most 8-person team sessions take under 2 hours. I work quietly and efficiently so your team's day isn't disrupted. Get a team quote here.
It depends on the session length and scope, which we'll confirm when you book. Individual sessions typically deliver 5 to 20 fully retouched images. Team packages are priced per person with a set number of selects each. All images are fully retouched: you won't receive unedited selects or a gallery of hundreds of shots to sort through.
Individual sessions typically run 30 to 60 minutes depending on what you need. Team sessions are scheduled based on headcount and I'll give you a realistic time estimate before we book. Most people are surprised how quickly it goes. The best images usually come in the second half once you've stopped thinking about it.
Fully edited gallery within 7 - 10 business days for all headshot sessions. Rush 48-hour delivery is available for an additional fee, which is useful if you have a speaking engagement, press feature, or website launch coming up. Just mention it when you book.
Every session is on-location. I come to you: your Denver office, a location that fits your brand, or an outdoor spot around the city. On-location sessions are available throughout the Denver metro, including Cherry Creek, LoDo, RiNo, the Tech Center, and the DTC corridor, at no additional charge. Get in touch to discuss options.
