Professional Headshots & Personal Branding 

Today, your first impression often happens online. A high-quality headshot or branding portrait can set you apart and communicate trust, professionalism, and personality in seconds. Whether you’re a lawyer, startup founder, author, consultant, or creative, we’ll tailor your session to match your industry, vibe, and goals. Choose from sleek business formal looks, approachable casual shots, or something more editorial and bold. You’ll leave with images perfect for LinkedIn, your website, speaking engagements, press kits, and more.

Creative and Artistic Portraits

Sometimes you want portraits that go deeper—images that are more expressive, personal, or artistic. Whether you’re commemorating a milestone, reclaiming your self-confidence, or just craving something beautifully different, we offer creative portrait sessions that push beyond the traditional. With a studio full of unique backdrops, props, and lighting setups, we’ll design a session that reflects your vision, story, and individuality.  Our Newton portrait studio is designed for comfort and creativity. You’ll have full access to a variety of backdrops and studio lighting setups. No distractions, no stress—just a relaxed environment where you can fully be yourself.

High School Senior Portraits

Your senior year is a once-in-a-lifetime moment—your portraits should be just as unique. At Vail Fucci Photography, we go beyond cookie-cutter senior photos to create bold, editorial-style portraits that celebrate who you are right now. Bring your favorite outfits, instruments, sports gear, or anything that expresses your personality.  Every session includes expert posing direction, in-studio lighting, and creative backdrop choices, all designed to bring out the best in you. These aren’t just yearbook photos—they’re a celebration of everything you’ve achieved and who you’re becoming.
