Associate Member of Headshots Matter
I'm Louise Michaud, an award-winning Salem and North Shore of Boston Photographer. I'm best known for headshots, personal branding and contemporary portraits and have been a professional photographer for over 36 years. I know most people are uncomfortable having their pictures taken. My clients say that I have a great ability to put them at ease and make the photography session fun. I am a master of lighting and a coach to pull out the best expressions from you. I have an eagle eye that checks for anything out of place, like stray hair, jewelry, and tie adjustments, to help you make the perfect first impression.
A standout headshot is crucial in the era of LinkedIn profiles, professional websites, and social media presence. Your headshot is often the first impression you make in the professional world, so putting your best foot forward is essential.
I will work with you one-on-one to show you how to pose and get your best expressions (with a live feed). I'm available to work on location or in our studio.

What Others Are Saying
“Louise creates portraits that are artistic, beautiful and will make you smile! I typically don’t like having my picture taken, but this experience was different. Louise not only offers clothing suggestions, but she is patient, gives great directions and provides lots of encouragement. She makes you feel like a “Super Star.” The entire process was seamless. Louise (and Mike) made it a such a fun experience! The images were delivered quickly. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend Louise. She is a consummate professional dedicated to her craft.”
