How Reynolds & Brown Updated Their Team Photos for a Website Refresh

Reynolds & Brown has been developing and managing commercial real estate across the East Bay since 1963 — more than 8 million square feet of office, retail, and industrial space over six decades, with roughly 2 million square feet still under active management today. It's the kind of company where longevity is the whole pitch: tenants stay, buildings get maintained, relationships last for decades.

So when the team decided to refresh their website, updating the team page wasn't optional. A company built on stability and long-term relationships needed photos that actually looked current — not a set of headshots collected one at a time over the years, in whatever lighting happened to be available that day.

The Shoot

We photographed 13 members of the Reynolds & Brown team onsite at their headquarters at 1200 Concord Ave in Concord. As with every Camerawerkz team headshot day, the entire mobile studio — professional lighting, backdrop, and a tethered camera system — was set up directly in their office. Nobody drove anywhere. Nobody lost an afternoon commuting to a studio.

Each person was photographed in a fully directed 5 to 10 minute session, followed by a group shot of the full team photographed onsite that day. For a company whose business is built on physical properties and long-term tenant relationships, having the team photographed together, in their own building, felt like the right fit — not a generic studio backdrop that could belong to any company anywhere.

The Result

Reynolds & Brown walked away with a complete, consistent set of individual headshots and a group photo, all shot in a single visit with the same lighting and quality throughout. For a firm about to relaunch its website after decades in business, the team page now actually reflects the company as it is today — professional, current, and unmistakably one team.

It's a small piece of a much bigger website refresh, but it's often the piece visitors notice first. A prospective tenant or partner researching Reynolds & Brown online sees the team page before they see almost anything else on the site — and a page full of mismatched, outdated, or inconsistent photos undercuts a company's credibility just as fast as a page full of confident, current ones builds it.
