Milwaukee Headshot and Portrait Studio

The Refinery Photo Studio is a boutique photography studio serving Milwaukee, WI and beyond. We specialize in headshots, portraits, and branding for individuals, small businesses, and corporations.

When you look at our headshots and portraits, we think you'll see what we see: people looking comfortable, relaxed, and like the best versions of themselves. Or, as we like to say at our studio, a "refined" version.

We have taken many things into consideration to ensure that you have an enjoyable experience at our beautiful downtown Milwaukee studio. With a warm, hands on approach, we will provide support and guidance with the following:

Consult with you to get an idea of what you are looking for
Offer guidance on how to prepare for the shoot
Have professional stylists available on request to help make you "picture perfect" on the day of the shoot
After your session, we will work with you to pick out your final images
We will go over your final selections and professionally retouch them. This means we will address skin issues, get rid of fly away hairs, and straighten suit jackets - whatever needs to be done to put on the finishing touches

In addition to all of this we have tunes playing, beautiful views of downtown Milwaukee, as well as snacks and drinks on hand in case you need them.

We look forward to hearing from you!

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Sam French

Jessica was an absolute delight to work with. She had great tunes playing in the background, she was incredibly encouraging, her studio is BEAUTIFUL, and she captured so many genuine photos. Lots of great laughs, tons of options to choose from (I loved ALL of them), and that's the best way to get your best shot. I HIGHLY recommend/encourage everyone to set up their session with Jessica at The Refinery ASAP! I promise you will not be disappointed!

Katie Rasoul

Jessica at The Refinery is simply the best - she always does great work and is the perfect person to creatively cover the spectrum between more traditional and more creative headshots. She is always so fun to work with, and I always leave feeling like I had made a great investment. During our last photo session, the final photos had me emotional they were so great!

Jehonathan Guzman

Talented, fun, personable and very creative. These are the words that would describe Jessica! Coming in very nervous, Jessica helped to bring a comfortable atmosphere and shared her artistic side to get that great shot! It is almost as if she had a 6th sense about what angles looked right, and lighting to create that perfect mood. I 100% recommend Jessica not just because of her experience, but, because of the passion she puts into getting to know you, the fun she puts into the shoot, and the advice she can bring to the table.

Cynthia Franzolin

I can't type fast enough to let you know how a fantastic experience was to work with Jessica and her team. From the arrival to her chic and cozy study to the whole experience she brings. She welcomed me and treated me like a friend. I had so much fun! She has a way to make you feel comfortable in your skin, and pictures reflect that. She is fun but also super professional. She delivered an excellent product with professionalism and punctuality. I recommend her as the BEST branding photographer in the area.
