Client story · Law-firm photography · Greenville, South Carolina
A website refresh often calls for more than a new headshot of one person. A firm needs photographs that introduce its people together, as well as portraits that can stand on their own.
On March 24, 2026, I photographed The Clardy Law Firm’s team at the Bohemian. The photography was part of the firm’s preparations for its new website, with a separate video appointment planned later that day.
The brief: portraits within a larger production day
The morning photography and the later video appointment gave the day a clear structure. Preparation needed to account for the team's availability and the other vendors sharing the day.
The assignment included individual portraits and group photographs. Those serve different purposes: an individual portrait introduces a person, while a group image helps show the team behind the firm. Planning both as part of the same assignment gives a website team a more useful set of choices.
The library setting gives the portraits a recognizable context: bookshelves, dark green paneling and warm wood. The selected photographs include Allen Clardy standing and seated at a table, alongside an individual portrait of another team member. The different compositions give the website more than one way to introduce its people.
A gallery the client could review together
I sent the proof gallery on the afternoon of the shoot. The firm could mark favorites using the gallery’s heart feature and collect the selections in one place.
That made the review process specific. Instead of describing an image in a long email, the client could identify the exact photograph to finish. For a group choosing portraits together, a shared selection process is especially helpful: the organizer can gather decisions without losing track of which version each person means.
Client feedback
After the session and proof-gallery delivery, Amber shared:
“Wow Jack. I am always so impressed by you.”

Finishing the selected photographs
I completed the selected edits and added the finished photographs to the gallery’s selects tab on March 31.
On April 1, the firm confirmed that the photographs had been downloaded. That is the useful endpoint of a portrait assignment: selected, finished images delivered to the client, ready for the next stage of its website work.
For this project, the process ran from a morning location session to a shared proof gallery and client-selected edits. The gallery provided a clear place for the firm to review its photographs and retrieve the finished files.
Planning photography for a law-firm website
If your firm is preparing a similar refresh, begin with the pages the images must support. List the individual portraits and group photographs you need, decide who will approve selections and account for any video or other vendors sharing the day.
A useful brief should also explain whether new portraits must match an existing set or establish a new direction. That helps shape the location and the photographic approach before the team arrives.
