Headshots With The U.S. Flag

We often get requests to have the U.S. flag in headshots. Most that want this are either active duty military or they work for a branch of the government such as the Department of Defense. Though we can do a full or three quarter length portrait with the flag most prefer using the flag with a tighter headshot. 

During the session you will get a chance to do a quick review of the images so we can tweak the placement of the flag to your preference. We understand the standard flag placement on the left side of the portrait but some prefer showing a bit of the flags’ stripes while others prefer just the blue star field. 

Active duty military members who are photographed in their uniform will get a slight discount on their headshot session (and additional digital file at no cost—so purchase one image and get a second at no cost). We get requests for military portraits without the flag as well. Sometimes these are for use on base but mostly they are portraits the military members wish to send to their families.

Many service members want to get a business headshot (in business attire) just prior to leaving service for LinkedIn or other online profiles. We can do both during a session—some with a flag in uniform and others in business attire. Or if you prefer just standard business attire.  With our Unlimited Headshot Session we allow you to change outfits and backgrounds as often as you like. 

If you want just a quick session with the flag or without in your military dress uniform still use the Unlimited Headshot Session and indicate in the comments box that you need only one image. 

Regardless if you are with the military or just wanting a U.S. flag in your headshot be sure to let us know during the booking process.
