New Jersey Attorney Headshots & Law Firm Portraits
John O’Boyle Photography specializes in professional attorney and law firm headshots throughout New Jersey, providing efficient on-site photo sessions.
John regularly photographs for law firms of all sizes, as well as Seton Hall Law School, Rutgers Law School, The New Jersey Bar Association, and the New York City Bar Association.
The resulting headshots give a consistent and professional look for the law firm’s websites, attorney bios, LinkedIn profiles, legal directories, and press releases.
Our On-Site Headshot Process for Law Firms:
Our on-site headshot process is designed to accommodate the unique realities of law firm environments, where efficiency is essential.
Streamlined scheduling that respects billable time. We can provide an online calendar so that each person can select a convenient time slot. A 5-minute window is all we need. We can reserve a larger time slot for senior partners.
We transform your conference room or law library into a professional portrait studio. We’ll bring everything we need: lights, background, computer, and cameras. Each attorney can view and select their favorite photo on-site.
Each attorney’s headshot will receive custom retouching and be delivered in a private online gallery.
Ability to photograph small teams or large firms
Consistent results across multiple New Jersey offices. We can provide visually consistent results during multiple trips to your main office or satellite offices. (see case study below)
We handle the logistics so your attorneys can remain focused on their work.
NJ Attorney headshot case studies:
Middlesex County Law Firm
Challenge: Update the headshots of dozens of attorneys and photograph new associates as they are hired over a multi-year timeline. Despite photographing on multiple visits to the law firm, the headshot style must look consistent.
Solution: Take notes on the exact gear setup and swap out the background from our library so every photo looks consistent over a period of years.
Result: A cohesive set of professional attorney headshots that strengthened the firm website, attorney bios, and directory listings
Essex County Law firm headshots and group photo
Challenge: Photograph the staff of a small Essex County boutique law firm in an outdoor setting.
Solution: Since this was a small firm with a staff of four, photographing them off-site was not a problem. One of the attorneys offered the use of his yard as a background.
Results: The photos are prominently displayed on the firm’s website.
5-star Google review from client: “We had an amazing experience working with John.

Newark law firm headshots, action photos, and group photo
Challenge: Photograph headshots, group photos, and collaboration photos of the staff of a Newark law firm.
Solution: We photographed the collaboration photos first as an easy way for the attorneys to “warm up”. When we arrived, we noticed the lobby would make a great background. So after the photos in the conference room, we moved to the lobby for the law firm group photos and attorney headshots.
Results: The photos captured the style of the law firm and have been used extensively.
Frequently Asked Questions - New Jersey Attorney Branding and Headshots:
How do we minimize "billable hour" loss during a firm-wide shoot? Minimizing any disruptions to your workday is our priority. We can create an online calendar so each attorney knows exactly when their headshot will take place. 5 to 10 minutes is all we need. Of course, we can schedule a longer time slot for senior partners.
Do you offer environmental portraits in our law library or conference room? Yes. While standard backdrops are great for consistency, we can also use a good-looking office as a background. We also have out-of-focus office backgrounds in our library that we can use to swap out the standard background.
Can we use the photos for publicity? Yes, in addition to your law firm’s website, you can use the headshots for publicity and sites like the New Jersey Law Journal, Martindale-Hubbell, and Avvo.
Do you have tips for what our attorneys should wear for headshots? Yes, while generally speaking, attorneys should dress more conservatively than other professions. You can see more ideas and photos here.
