HEADSHOTS BUILT FOR REAL ESTATE

Your headshot works harder in real estate than in almost any other profession. It sits on your MLS profile, your Zillow and Realtor.com pages, your brokerage roster, your business cards, your mailers, and a yard sign planted in somebody's front lawn. If your current photo is not pulling its weight, my guide on why your headshot may be losing you business breaks down the most common mistakes.

I'm Marquel, and I specialize in headshots that read as approachable and credible at the same time, which is exactly the balance a seller is weighing when they decide who to call first.

Whether you are a new agent building your first listing presentation, a top producer whose photo has not changed in eight years, or a team lead coordinating a whole office, your headshot should look like the person a client actually meets at the front door.

Let's talk before you book.

Whether you are a solo agent refreshing a profile photo or a managing broker coordinating headshots for the whole office, a quick conversation will save you time and make sure you book the right session.

WHY REAL ESTATE AGENTS CHOOSE MARQUEL YVETTE PHOTOGRAPHY

In real estate, your face is the logo. Most businesses put a brand mark on the sign. You put yourself on it. Before a seller reads a single review or opens your listing presentation, they have already decided how they feel about your photo.

Guided posing that reads as approachable, not stiff. I coach you through expression and positioning so you look warm and competent at the same time, the balance that earns the call. No forced smile, no crossed-arms cliche.

Expert retouching, never over-edited. Every image is individually retouched for natural skin smoothing, color correction, and background cleanup. You should look like yourself on your best day, because a client is going to meet you at a showing.

On-site brokerage sessions available. I bring professional lighting and backdrops to your office so the whole team gets consistent headshots between appointments. Each agent spends just a few minutes in front of the camera. Learn more about on-site team sessions.

Files sized for print, not just screens. You get high-resolution retouched images, so the same photo holds up on a yard sign and a postcard mailer as well as it does cropped small on an MLS profile.

"I had a great experience partnering with Marquel Forbes for my photo shoot. Before our session, Marquel prepared me by sending tips and when l arrived, she put me at ease. We took a few shots outside and I changed outfits several times. In addition to headshots, I needed photos for my Real Estate marketing materials. She provided me with a lot of photos to choose from for my business. Thanks so much, Marquel!!!"

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What should a realtor wear for a headshot?

A structured blazer or jacket in a solid color photographs best, layered over a simple top. If your brokerage has brand colors, one of them works well as an accent. Avoid busy patterns and heavy logos, since your photo gets cropped small on MLS profiles and printed large on yard signs. Bring 2-3 outfit options and I'll help you choose what works on camera. For a deeper dive, see my guide on what to wear for your headshot.

Can you photograph our entire brokerage or real estate team on-site?

Yes. I offer on-site sessions for brokerages and teams of any size. I bring professional lighting and backdrops to your office, and each agent spends just a few minutes in front of the camera, so nobody loses a showing over it. Consistent styling keeps the whole roster looking unified. Learn more about on-site team sessions.

Can you match our brokerage's existing agent headshots?

Yes. If your office already has an established look, send a few reference images and I will match the background, lighting, crop, and overall tone so a new agent blends into the roster page seamlessly. Brokerages often book these match sessions when they bring on agents mid-year, so there is no need to reshoot everyone just to keep the site consistent.

Will my headshot work for yard signs, mailers, and printed marketing?

Yes. Every image is delivered as a high-resolution retouched file, not just a web-sized crop, so the same photo holds up on a yard sign, a postcard mailer, and a business card as well as it does on your MLS profile. Print reveals everything a small web thumbnail hides, which is exactly why the lighting and retouching matter.

How quickly can I get my photos?

Standard turnaround is 7-10 business days. Rush delivery is available if you're onboarding with a new brokerage, launching a listing presentation, or updating your profile ahead of a campaign.

Where is the studio located?

My studio is in South Riding, VA, an easy drive from Tysons, McLean, Reston, Fairfax, Loudoun County, and the DC area via Route 50 or the Dulles Toll Road. Ample free parking on-site. If your brokerage is in Arlington, Alexandria, or downtown DC, I can bring the session to your office instead, so a headshot does not have to cost anyone a half day of appointments.
