Professional Law Firm Headshots for Lynn Gartner Dunne Frigenti & Renke, LLP

In October 2026, I photographed the team at Lynn Gartner Dunne Frigenti & Renke, LLP, a Long Island firm based in Melville that handles civil and commercial litigation, appeals, and business and real estate transactions. The law firm headshots from that day fall into two styles that do different jobs: tight portraits on a warm wood backdrop, and wider frames taken beside the firm’s own logo wall.

The session took place at the firm’s own office. If you’re curious how I set up these days for a group, my page on team headshots for NYC and New Jersey companies explains the process from start to finish.

The Photography Session for Lynn Gartner Dunne Frigenti & Renke, LLP

In the tight portraits, the wood tone behind everyone does the unifying work. The light falls soft and even across each face, and the frame stops around mid-chest, so a dark suit and a light shirt land in the same place from one person to the next.

Everyone dressed in business attire, mostly dark suits and tailored jackets. Dark fabric against warm wood gives every frame the same basic contrast.

The logo wall portraits work the other way. Instead of making people match, they place them: the LGDFR letters, the lounge chairs, and the textured wall tell you where these people work before you read a word of their bios.

Having both looks from one session is useful. The law firm headshots handle the tight, uniform crops a directory or bio page needs, while the environmental portraits give the firm something warmer and more personal to work with.

When I photograph a team on location, I bring my own lighting rather than relying on whatever the office ceiling happens to provide. Overhead fluorescents and window light change from room to room and hour to hour, and that’s exactly how a set of portraits drifts apart.

Creating a Consistent Look Across Individual Headshots

The two portraits below show the idea better than any rule. Both people wear glasses, one with a red tie and one in a dark blazer, and each expression is entirely their own.

What ties them together is everything behind and around them. Both sit on the same warm backdrop, lit from the same direction and cropped at the same height, so they read as one collection.

Glasses are a quiet test of any setup. I always watch the angle of the light on the lenses, because a hot reflection over someone’s eyes pulls attention away from the one thing a headshot is about.

I’ve written separately about why consistency matters across a team’s headshots, so I won’t repeat the general case here. This session is simply what that principle looks like in practice, applied to a real set of law firm headshots rather than a hypothetical one.

Preserving Individual Personality in Professional Portraits

Consistent doesn’t mean identical. Across this collection, expressions range from broad, open smiles to steadier, more reserved looks, and both belong in the same set.

Wardrobe does some of that work too. A red tie in one frame, a striped tie in another, an embellished jacket in a third. Those choices tell you something about the person without breaking the visual standard the rest of the set shares.

One team member was also photographed in a longer series of standing and seated poses. Those frames add a more editorial feel to the collection while keeping the same color, tone, and setting.

In more than 30 years of photographing professionals, I’ve never found one expression that works for everyone. I talk with each person, find the version of their face that feels natural to them, and photograph that.

Some people are at their best mid-laugh. Others look most like themselves when they’re calm and still, and forcing a big smile on them would read as false the moment a client saw it.

The Finished Law Firm Headshots

The finished collection pairs individual headshots on a warm wood-toned background with wider portraits at the firm’s logo wall. Matching light, background, and framing tie the headshots together, while each person’s expression and wardrobe stay their own, so the set reads as one firm made up of real people.

Put the headshots in a grid and nobody looks larger, darker, or farther from the camera than the person beside them. That’s the practical test for consistent professional headshots: line them up and see whether they belong together.
