Covington Photographer
I’m Paige Henderson, the photographer behind Bellus Photography. I photograph professionals, teams and families from Covington, and my studio is about 15 minutes away, near the Causeway in Mandeville. When it’s easier for you, I bring a mobile studio to your office instead.
For Covington clients I photograph headshots for individuals and whole teams, personal branding sessions for people who are the face of their business, and portraits for individuals and families. Every session is guided from start to finish, so you never have to wonder what to do in front of the camera.
Headshots at Your Covington Office
If your team works in Covington, I can come to you. I set up a mobile studio in a conference room or any open space: lighting, backdrop and camera. Everyone is photographed in turn, and nobody loses half a day driving to a studio and back.
That works whether you’re in a law office downtown near the parish Justice Center on Columbia Street, a medical practice near St. Tammany Health System or Lakeview Hospital, or an office out along Highway 190 or Highway 21.
Because everyone is photographed with the same backdrop and lighting, your team’s photos match on the website. If your firm already has headshots with a particular background color, I can match it. If your background has a texture or a special look, send it to me and I can add it to the finished images, or deliver them on a transparent background for your designer.
See how on-location corporate headshots work, from planning the day to delivering a matching set.
Getting Ready for an On-Location Day
- A room or open space where the backdrop and lights can stay set up
- Your current headshots, if the new ones need to match
- A rough schedule, so people can step away one at a time
- Any brand color you want behind your team
- Glasses on, for anyone who normally wears them
Studio or Your Office?
| At your Covington office | At my Mandeville studio | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | A team that needs matching headshots | Individual headshots, executive and branding sessions, portraits |
| Travel | None for your team: I come to you | About 15 minutes from Covington |
| Backdrop | One backdrop, set up the same for everyone | White, brown and black paper, plus pink, blue and brown textured |
| Lighting | Portable lighting I bring with me | Controlled studio lighting |
You can also combine the two: your team photographed at the office, and anyone who needs an executive portrait or a branding session in the studio.
Photography for Covington Professionals
Business Headshots
For anyone who needs a current, polished photo for LinkedIn, a firm website or a speaker bio. Sessions take place in my Mandeville studio, and I direct posture, positioning and expression the whole time. You choose your favorites before you leave, and your retouched images arrive within 72 hours of that selection. Read more about business headshots.
Executive Headshots
For partners, physicians, founders and senior leaders whose photo carries more weight. Executive sessions include style consultation and expression coaching, and they start with a free 15-minute discovery call, with no obligation to book. On that call we talk through your goals, how the images will be used, and how the session will run. See my executive headshot sessions.
Personal Branding Photography
If you are the business, one headshot isn’t enough. A personal branding session builds a set of images planned around where they’ll be used: your website, your social media, your speaker page. Multiple looks turn one session into a library that feels like it was made over many days. Here’s how personal branding photography works.
Portraits and Family Sessions
The Signature Portrait Session is for individuals and families who want something more lasting than a quick photo: creative planning, professional hair and makeup, and complete direction. Families are photographed as a Signature Portrait Session too. Explore portrait sessions.
Coming to the Studio from Covington
The studio is at 111 N. Causeway Blvd., Suite 208, in Mandeville, near the Causeway, about a 15-minute drive from Covington. It’s in an office park with free parking on site, and Suite 208 is upstairs.
The studio is set up for controlled lighting and a consistent background, which is why I recommend it for individual headshots and portraits. I keep white, brown and black paper backdrops, plus pink, blue and brown textured ones, and other colors are available by request. Sessions are by appointment: Monday through Thursday 9 to 5, Friday 9 to 4 and Saturday 9 to 2.
Covington, Close to Home
Covington is the parish seat of St. Tammany, and a lot of the parish’s legal, medical and professional work happens here. The town sits where the Bogue Falaya and Tchefuncte rivers meet, and the Tammany Trace starts here before running east through Abita Springs and Mandeville.
Downtown, around Columbia Street and the Southern Hotel, is where many of Covington’s small firms and local businesses work. For a small office there, one on-location setup in a single room covers the whole team.
