St. Louis Headshot Photographer
for Teams & Executives
Henry David is a St. Louis headshot photographer who photographs corporate teams and executives on site at their offices in Clayton, Des Peres, Chesterfield, Creve Coeur, the Central West End, and on both sides of the river. I bring a portable studio to your conference room, photograph each person in five to ten minutes, and deliver final retouched files within five business days. Recent work includes the eight-person Merrill Lynch Taxman & Landy team at their office in Clayton, eight Johnson & Krol attorneys in Des Peres, and a 56-frame set for the Washington University Department of Neurosurgery in August 2026. The same photographer has served 120+ organizations across 47 states.
A Local Note
What a St. Louis headshot photographer does on site at your office
I photograph teams where they already work. I bring lighting, a backdrop, and a camera station to a conference room or an open corner of your floor, so nobody drives across town on a workday. Merrill Lynch's Taxman & Landy team was photographed at their office in Clayton, Johnson & Krol's attorneys at theirs in Des Peres, and the Washington University Department of Neurosurgery inside the WashU Medicine building. A full department is finished in a day without pulling anyone out of a meeting for long.
I live in St. Louis and I work here. Most of that work happens in someone else's conference room: a wealth management office in Clayton, a law office in Des Peres, a clinic block on the Washington University medical campus. I know the buildings, the lobbies, the parking, and the light, and that knowledge saves your office manager a round of phone calls before the day. For one person or a small group, there is also a studio in St. Louis, by appointment.
When an executive wants a frame outside the office, I do not have to scout. The Tadao Ando concrete at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation, the Brookings Hall arcade on the Danforth Campus, Art Hill in Forest Park, and the iron fencing in Lafayette Square are all places I have photographed before. Because this is my home market, the calendar has more room here than it does in the cities I fly to.

Learn MoreHow an on-site team headshot day works in St. Louis
Every session runs the same way, whether it is eight attorneys in Des Peres, a department across the WashU medical campus, or an office in Clayton or St. Charles. Here is what happens between the first call and the finished files.
A 15-minute scoping call
Tell me the office, the headcount, and the date you need the files by. Groups of one to three book at the individual rate on the headshot pricing page. Four or more people is the Corporate Headshot Program, quoted as production days by group size, not per head. I send a proposal within one business day.
A schedule built by department
I send a slot schedule sorted by team so no meeting loses everyone at once. For the Washington University neurosurgery department, slots ran from 7 AM to 6 PM with people dropping in between cases and clinic blocks.
Setup in your conference room
I arrive ahead of the first slot with lighting, a backdrop, and a camera station. All I need from you is a room with power; during the WashU partnership, a conference room became a working studio in about 30 minutes. A second position against your building's glass or stone is available for an environmental look.
Five to ten minutes per person
Each person spends five to ten minutes in front of the camera with expression coaching. For a large roster the pace drops to one to two minutes each, which is how a single station carries 100 to 150 people per day. I photograph every session myself; producers and production assistants join under my direction on larger days.
Proofs, then finals within five business days
You get fast turnaround on proofs, selections are made from the gallery, and final retouched files arrive within five business days. The lighting recipe and backdrop specs stay on file so later hires match the roster.
Which St. Louis suburbs do you travel to?
I photograph on site across the metro, covering Clayton, Ladue, Chesterfield, Creve Coeur, Kirkwood, and Webster Groves in the county, and St. Charles and O'Fallon across the river. Travel and setup are quoted as separate line items on every proposal, and I bring a portable studio to your office.
Plus Des Peres, University City, Brentwood, Maryland Heights, Town & Country, and surrounding communities.
Need a team photographed at your St. Louis office?
Share your team size, location, and timeline, and the proposal comes back quoted as production days, not per head.
Where I photograph executives and teams around St. Louis
A short list of go-to locations. On-site at your office is still the most common choice, but if you want an environmental or editorial portrait, these are the spots I return to.
Centene Building, Clayton
Modern architecture, warm atrium light, and elevator banks that photograph like editorial spreads. We have shot wealth management and finance teams here.
Pulitzer Arts Foundation, Grand Center
Tadao Ando concrete and a reflecting pool that doubles as a fill light on golden afternoons. Ideal for authors, founders, and anyone wanting a distinctive environmental portrait.
Washington University Medical Campus
Brick, stone, and glass. When you want the visual signal of a teaching hospital behind you, there is not a better option in the metro.
Cortex Innovation District
Glass curtain walls and modern industrial backdrops. The right setting for startup founders, engineering teams, and tech leadership.
Forest Park, Art Hill
Golden hour on the steps of the Saint Louis Art Museum. A natural-light option for leaders who want an environmental portrait with the city behind them.
Lafayette Square
Victorian brownstones, tree-lined streets, and the best editorial feel in town without leaving the city limits.

Why St. Louis companies book one photographer for every office
I live here, and the standard is the same one I hold in every city I fly to.
On Site Across the Metro
Based in the metro and working on site. Recent sessions ran in the Centene Building in Clayton, a law office in Des Peres, and the WashU Medicine building.
Room on the Calendar
St. Louis is my home market, so there is no flight to book before a date is held, and a single new hire is usually easy to fit in.
Travel Quoted Up Front
Travel and setup appear as their own line items on every St. Louis proposal, whether the office is in Clayton or across the river in St. Charles, so the quote is the whole cost.
Ready for Any Team Size
From 8-person wealth management teams like Taxman & Landy at Merrill Lynch to 200+ faculty and staff in the Washington University Department of Neurosurgery, we scale the setup to the job.
Matching Style for Growing Teams
We keep your lighting, backdrop, and retouching specs on file. New hires photographed six months later still match the existing roster.
One Partner, Every Visual
Headshots, team composites, brand films, and event coverage come from the same photographer, which means fewer vendors for your marketing and HR teams.
