Marybeth Delgado Updates Her Look with Professional Headshots in Castle Hills, San Antonio

Marybeth Delgado had spent over a decade working as an executive assistant. At 35, she had mastered the fast-paced world of calendar coordination, travel planning, and corporate support. But recently, Marybeth made a decision that would change the trajectory of her professional life—she wanted out.

“I’m changing careers and wanted a fresh image that fits my new direction,” she shared as she arrived for her session at Richard’s Photography in San Antonio, Texas. Marybeth wasn’t leaving the professional world entirely, but she was moving away from support roles and toward something more client-facing: account management and consulting.

She lives in Castle Hills, a charming, well-established area in San Antonio that blends quiet neighborhoods with easy access to the city’s professional scene. With her résumé updated and a handful of Zoom interviews already scheduled, Marybeth knew her next step was to make sure her visual presence matched her new career goals. That meant one thing: new headshots.

“My last headshot was taken in a conference room about seven years ago,” she laughed. “I was wearing a company polo, and the lighting was awful. I looked tired and overworked—which, honestly, I was back then.”

Marybeth found Richard’s Photography through a colleague who had recently done a professional portrait session. After browsing through the women’s headshots gallery and reading reviews from other professionals in Castle Hills and surrounding areas, she felt confident in scheduling her appointment.

During the consultation, we helped Marybeth choose two looks: one classic business professional outfit (a tailored blazer and soft-toned blouse), and one casual-professional option for use on social media and personal branding. She wanted images that were approachable but polished—something that would feel at home on a corporate website or a speaking event flyer.

As the session began, Marybeth confessed she was nervous. “I’m used to being behind the scenes. This is the first time I’ve done something like this for myself,” she said. But as we worked through different lighting setups and angles, her confidence visibly grew.

We focused on poses that highlighted her personality—direct but warm, competent but relatable. Her eyes carried a spark of ambition, and her expressions showed clarity and purpose. “It’s been a long time since I’ve felt like I was seen this way,” she said.

Marybeth lives in Castle Hills, San Antonio, Texas, where she balances career growth with parenting. She’s engaged and raising a young daughter, which has given her new perspective on what it means to represent herself confidently in a digital world. “My daughter watches everything I do. I want her to see that reinvention is possible at any age,” she said.

After the shoot, we sat down to review the images. She immediately gravitated toward one that captured her slightly smiling with soft side lighting. It was modern, clean, and had a subtle strength to it. “This is me stepping into the next version of myself,” she said.

The final gallery included multiple formats: high-resolution images for websites and LinkedIn, compressed versions for email signatures, and a few lifestyle-style portraits perfect for social banners and speaking bios.

Marybeth left her session not only with updated headshots but with a sense of renewal. “This was way more than just a photo shoot. It was about alignment—making the outside match who I’ve become on the inside.”

At Richard’s Photography in San Antonio, Texas, we hear this sentiment often. Especially from women in transition—whether returning to the workforce, changing industries, or simply seeking a confident image after years of putting others first. We aim to help clients like Marybeth feel empowered, seen, and ready for what’s next.
