Headshot Photographer
Long Island, NY
One powerful image. Every opportunity after that.
At The BeVard Studio, headshots are not just photos — they are the first impression you make before anyone shakes your hand. Whether you are a corporate executive, a working actor, a real estate agent, or a LinkedIn professional, we create headshots that communicate exactly who you are and what you bring to the table.
More than a photo.
It’s your first impression.
A great headshot does one thing above all else — it makes someone trust you before you ever say a word. At The BeVard Studio, we don’t just point a camera at you and click. We take the time to understand what you do, who you serve, and the energy you want to project, then we build the session around that.
From the moment you walk in, we handle everything. Posing guidance so you never feel stiff or awkward. Live adjustments to expression, angle, and light so every frame is working for you. The result is a headshot that feels natural, powerful, and unmistakably you — not a passport photo with better lighting.
We shoot in our private Farmingdale studio and on location across Long Island. Whether you need a clean white background for LinkedIn, a warm natural setting for your personal brand, or dramatic studio lighting for the stage — we create the look your career needs.
Real clients.
Real results.
Built for anyone who needs
to be taken seriously.
Your headshot is on your company website, your LinkedIn, your email signature, and every conference bio. It needs to communicate leadership, credibility, and approachability all at once. We work with executives, managers, attorneys, financial advisors, and corporate teams across Long Island to create images that match the caliber of their careers.
Your headshot is your calling card. Casting directors make split-second decisions — and your photo has to stop them in their tracks. We understand what the industry demands: personality, energy, and authenticity in a single frame. Whether you need theatrical, commercial, or both, we create headshots that get you in the room.
People do business with people they trust — and trust starts with your photo. Whether you’re a real estate agent in Garden City, a coach in Melville, or a consultant in Syosset, your headshot is working for you 24 hours a day. We create images that make people want to reach out before they’ve even read your bio.
Direction that makes
the difference.
Most people feel awkward in front of a camera. That is completely normal — and it is exactly why posing direction matters so much. At The BeVard Studio, we don’t just press the shutter and hope something looks good. We guide every single moment of your session.
From where to put your hands, to how to hold your jaw, to what to think about right before the frame clicks — we walk you through all of it. The result is a headshot that looks like you on your absolute best day, not like someone pretending to be comfortable in front of a camera.
We also dial in the technical details that make a headshot truly powerful: light that flatters your specific features, backgrounds that complement your industry, and angles that communicate confidence and authority. Every decision is intentional.
Everything you need.
Nothing left to chance.
We talk through your goals, your industry, and exactly what you need your headshot to communicate before your session begins. This shapes every decision we make.
You never have to wonder what to do with your face or your hands. We guide every pose, every expression, and every angle throughout the entire session.
We shoot multiple wardrobe looks and background options so you walk away with versatile images that work across every platform and every use case.
Shoot in our private Farmingdale studio or on location anywhere across Long Island. We find the setting that best communicates your brand and your personality.
Every delivered image is professionally retouched — clean, polished, and natural. You will look like the best version of yourself, not an over-edited version of someone else.
Your final images are delivered in high resolution, ready for print, web, LinkedIn, press kits, and everything in between. No extra fees, no chasing down files.
Your session,
step by step.
The Consultation
We start with a quick conversation about your goals, your industry, and what you need your headshot to do for you. Whether you need something clean and corporate, warm and approachable, or bold and creative — we dial in the look before you ever walk through the door. This is also when we talk wardrobe, background options, and what to expect on session day.
The Session
You show up. We handle everything else. From the moment you arrive at our Farmingdale studio, we take care of posing, lighting, expression, and every technical detail. We move through your looks efficiently and intentionally, making adjustments in real time until we have frames that genuinely represent you at your best. Most clients are surprised by how relaxed the experience feels.
The Delivery
After your session, we professionally retouch your selected images and deliver them in high resolution — ready for LinkedIn, your website, press kits, business cards, or anywhere else you need them. We make the process easy from start to finish so you can get back to doing what you do best, with images that finally match the quality of your work.
We’ve headshot
them all.
Real Estate Agents & Brokers
On Long Island, real estate is personal. Your headshot is on every listing, every sign, every email, and every social post. Clients make decisions about you before they ever pick up the phone — and your photo is what tips the scale. We’ve photographed agents and brokers from Garden City to Huntington who needed images that build instant trust.
Physicians, Dentists & Healthcare Professionals
Patients research their doctors online. A polished, approachable headshot communicates competence and warmth before the first appointment. We’ve worked with physicians, dentists, surgeons, and therapists across Nassau and Suffolk County to create images that make patients feel confident in their choice.
Actors & Theatre Performers
Your headshot has to stop a casting director mid-scroll. We understand what the industry is looking for — and we know how to draw out the personality, energy, and specificity that separates a great headshot from a forgettable one. We work with actors at every level, from community theatre to professional union performers.
Attorneys, Financial Advisors & Executives
In fields built on trust and credibility, your headshot needs to communicate authority without being cold. We work with professionals across law, finance, consulting, and corporate leadership to create images that are polished, confident, and genuinely human.
Corporate Teams & Companies
Cohesive team headshots communicate professionalism and unity. We work with companies across Long Island — from small businesses to large corporations in Melville, Hauppauge, and Garden City — to create team imagery that looks consistent and intentional across your entire website and marketing.
Heard it from
them directly.
“Mary is truly a dream to work with. She gives very clear directions on poses and angles and keeps the great vibes going throughout the entire session. As someone pursuing a career in Theatre, I have never seen so much of my personality shown until I took these photos. She made me want to come back and take even more headshots!”— Haylee · Actor Headshot Session · Farmingdale, NY
“We hired Mary to help train our marketing team in portrait photography at our Melville office. She listened to our needs, created a full training plan with lesson plans and tip sheets, and delivered it over a multi-week schedule. The team enjoyed working with her extensively. I highly recommend her for any person or organization looking for photography guidance.”— Dave · Corporate Team · Melville, NY
“Mary was waiting for us as we arrived and gave us the warmest welcome. She is a gracious and talented professional who worked with my son with ease.
