Portraits with Purpose is a Raleigh-based photography studio specializing in professional headshots and business portraits for individuals, teams, and companies. Founded by photographer Christer Berg, the studio was created with a simple goal: to help professionals present themselves with clarity, confidence, and authenticity.
We design every session to feel calm, guided, and intentional – so you can focus on being yourself while we take care of the details.
Portraits with Purpose works exclusively with professionals and organizations who need imagery for real-world business use – LinkedIn profiles, corporate websites, leadership pages, marketing materials, and internal communications.
Rather than treating headshots as a quick transaction, each session emphasizes thoughtful lighting, subtle direction, and natural expression. The result is imagery that feels polished without being stiff, and professional without appearing forced.
Christer has photographed executives, entrepreneurs, consultants, authors, and leadership teams across a wide range of industries and service areas. We offer sessions in studio – conveniently located in west Raleigh – or on location for companies that need consistent headshots for multiple team members.
Whether working with one individual or coordinating a larger corporate session, the process is efficient, organized, and respectful of busy schedules.
Many clients arrive feeling uncertain about being photographed. Christer is known for creating a relaxed, supportive environment that helps people feel at ease in front of the camera, bringing years of experience working with professionals who need imagery that feels natural, confident, and credible.
We provide clear guidance throughout the session, from posture and expression to image selection, ensuring our clients walk away with portraits that accurately reflect who they are and how they want to be seen professionally.
The goal remains the same: imagery that represents you and your organization at your best.
Clients often comment on the experience as much as the results – something reflected in the Google reviews shared by professionals and organizations.
Portraits with Purpose serves clients throughout Raleigh, Cary, Morrisville, and the Research Triangle area. Sessions are available by appointment and tailored to the needs of professionals, teams, and organizations seeking high-quality business portraits and headshots.
