St. Augustine Commercial Photographer
A St. Augustine commercial photographer delivers professional headshots, personal branding sessions, and corporate event coverage—polished images that work as hard as you do.
Photography for People & Brands
As your St. Augustine commercial photographer, we work with attorneys, real estate agents, a maritime shipping company, a chocolatier—one client runs a dump truck company, another does waterway cleanup. We don't specialize in one type of business. We specialize in making people look awesome.
We're Rob and Jill—a husband-and-wife team photographing businesses throughout Northeast Florida since 2010. What we do really well is photograph people in their element. When we come to your boat, your shop, your office—that brings a level of realism that works.
Whether you need headshots for 200 employees or portraits for one person's new marketing campaign, we figure out what you're going for and put together a plan around that.
Headshots That Show Your Best Side
We love getting to show people what they look like through our camera. We bring in lighting and posing so we can capture the absolute best side of you. When clients see themselves on the iPad and say "Oh my gosh, that looks great!"—that's the best feeling in the world.
Most sessions have both of us there: while Rob works through the technical side, Jill fixes flyaways and helps you feel confident. Feeling confident is the first step to feeling comfortable—and comfortable people take better photos.
We work with executives, realtors, attorneys, authors, and small business owners. Realtors typically want clean headshots; attorneys often prefer portraits that work on billboards. We'll figure out what you need and deliver images you're proud to put into the world.
Personal Branding Sessions
More than a headshot—a full visual library for your brand. If you're a coach, consultant, realtor, author, or content creator, you need more than one photo. You need images for your website hero, social media, marketing materials, and speaking bios.
Personal branding sessions are collaborative. We discuss your brand, your audience, your goals—then we create a variety of shots: working at your desk, interacting with clients, lifestyle moments, and the polished portraits that anchor your visual identity.
Stock photos don't build trust. Real photos of you do. One session gives you months of authentic content.
Corporate Event Photography
We recently photographed a company outing rewarding their top performers. We captured the "you've done a great job" moment with the speaker and the faces of people who worked hard all year to earn their spot. Then we followed teams through activities, grabbed quick team pictures, and documented the cookout and award ceremony at the end.
The photos were a gift to the attendees—and a way for the company to show everyone "this is something worth working hard for." That's what event coverage should do: capture moments people can use.
With two photographers, we split up. One gets the keynote speaker while the other captures reactions. One does the formal group shot while the other catches the candid conversation happening off to the side.
Conferences & Trade Shows
Keynotes, breakout sessions, exhibitor booths, and networking moments. Quick turnaround available for same-day social media.
Corporate Galas & Awards
Black-tie events, award ceremonies, and formal celebrations. Red carpet arrivals, stage moments, and candid reception photos.
Team Building & Retreats

Ribbon cuttings, product launches, and milestone celebrations. PR-ready images delivered quickly for press releases.

Creative Portrait Sessions
Not every portrait is for business. Sometimes you want artistic, expressive photos just for you—an anniversary gift, a milestone birthday, a "just because" session that captures this chapter of your life.
Creative sessions are collaborative. Bring your vision, and we'll help you execute it. Styled, themed, or completely natural—we work with what feels right for you.
Commercial & Business Photography
Professional imagery for businesses of all sizes. From product photos for your e-commerce store to documenting your office space, we handle the visual needs that help your business grow.
Product Photography
E-commerce product shots on white backgrounds, lifestyle context images, catalog photography, and Amazon-ready listings. Whether you have 10 products or 100, we create consistent, professional imagery.
Real Estate & Interior Photography
Vacation rentals, Airbnb listings, commercial properties, office spaces, and architectural details. Professional photography helps your property stand out and book faster.
Restaurant & Food Photography
Menu imagery, promotional shots, social media content, and behind-the-scenes kitchen moments. We make your food look as good as it tastes.
Professional Photography
From polished headshots to corporate events—professional images that work as hard as you do.
Serving St. Augustine & Jacksonville
Our primary service area includes St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, and the surrounding communities. We travel throughout Northeast Florida for corporate clients and events.
For on-location shoots, we bring the studio to you—full lighting and backdrop setup wherever you need us. For studio sessions, we work from our St. Augustine location.
Planning an event outside the region? Let's talk. We're happy to travel for the right project.
How Sessions Work
Align Expectations
We show samples of our work and discuss lighting, background, and posing options. What look are you going for? Everyone involved helps shape the visual goal.
Set Up for Success
For team sessions, we provide electronic sign-up sheets so everyone picks a time slot. We send visual examples beforehand so people arrive knowing what to expect.
Capture + Review
Everything's ready when you arrive. We guide posing, dial in the light, and capture options. You'll see your images on the iPad—when you say "yes, that's it," we know we got it.
Delivery
Usually 1-2 weeks. Need them tomorrow? We can make it happen. All images edited and ready to use.
Pricing
All sessions include professional editing, online gallery with download rights, and print rights. Reach out to discuss your specific project.
Why We Say Skip the AI Headshots
Our first advice: don't use AI. There's a trend where people take a cell phone picture and run it through AI—and we believe that erodes trust with potential clients.
Be the Real You
We'll take great pictures and make you look great—but it's still the real you. When a client meets you in person for the first time, they won't be surprised. That matters.
Images You Can Use Everywhere
Whether you need a LinkedIn headshot, new marketing campaign imagery, or updated branding, we're thinking through all the ways you can use these photos. If you come in for a headshot, we'll grab some portraits too. We want to give you something useful.
Clients Who Come Back
Some of our headshot clients come in more than once a year. That speaks to the value of what we're doing—photos that actually work for their business.

"Rob took my pictures for my Realtor business cards and they came out great. They were taken on location at a park. He even removed a pimple I had on my forehead the day of the shoot. These have been my favorite business pictures yet. Thanks Rob!"
M
"Rob Futrell is a fantastic photog. I highly recommend him. I have trusted him to take a range of pictures for me--professional headshots, volunteering with an animal friendly group in town. But most importantly he captured our maternity photo shoot and our newborn's announcement photo shoot beautifully. We will forever be grateful for the beautiful moments he captured. And Rob was so patient with my requests for "no cheesey" pictures. He worked with us to get action shots (non posing shots) and some great candids. These are moments we will never get back, but are captured forever. Thank you Rob! -Monica, Javi and Baby Olive"
