🌟 Exciting client news! 🌟
I recently had the opportunity to photograph new professional headshots for Seraj Law, a respected Albany firm offering business, real estate, and estate planning services. It’s always rewarding to see how great photography helps elevate a brand — especially when it’s featured front and center on their newly launched website!
Our goal was to capture a look that conveys both professionalism and approachability — the perfect balance for a modern law firm.

Early fall mornings + big trucks = a pretty awesome shoot. 🚛🍂

I recently partnered with Waste Connections in Fort Ann, NY to capture fresh website content—everything from their trucks and equipment to residential services in action. The team couldn’t have been better to work with, and I loved documenting the people and machines that keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.

As part of his recent professional headshot session with me, I had the pleasure of photographing Ahmad Seraj for his updated website and social media presence. Ahmad brings a strong professional presence to his images, which reflects perfectly in his work and leadership.

Ahmad Seraj is the founder and managing attorney of Seraj Law, a trusted Albany, NY law firm dedicated to helping clients navigate complex legal matters in business, real estate, and estate planning. When your headshot works as hard as you do, clients notice. 😉

Granola never looked so good 🍯📸✨
Shot this cozy flat lay featuring Gatherer’s Granola using my go-to backdrop from — the Mix & Match Vinyl for max versatility.

🔹 Flat lay: Front side – Light Grey Concrete
🔹 45° angle shot: Back side – Wood Planks 👍Love how easily I can switch up the vibe with one backdrop — clean, minimal, and perfect for food photography.

📸✨ A great headshot does more than just look good — it speaks for you before you even say a word.

Whether it's for LinkedIn, speaker announcements, or marketing materials, your headshot should capture more than just your face — it should reflect your personality, confidence, and presence.

I loved working with Carolyn(second time) to create fresh headshots that feel both professional and authentically them.

📸 A great headshot isn’t just about looking polished. It’s about feeling like yourself in an image — confident, approachable, and real.

Whether it’s going on LinkedIn, a speaker lineup, or a press kit, this one image often makes the first impression. That’s why I love creating portraits that go beyond surface-level—something with a bit of soul.

Thanks, Sarah, for trusting me with this one.

Always love the branding session we did with Shelley — she brought such clarity, energy, and intention to every shot. ✨

These photos are now part of her visual presence and it’s so rewarding to see them put to great use in her business.

Branding photography is about more than good lighting — it’s about showing up as your most authentic, confident self. Shelley did just that. 👏

Our Story

Hello and thank you so much for visiting ChappellStudioPortraits.com. I’m thrilled to have you here and hope that you’ll stick around and explore my work. Back to the reason you clicked on this page…

I’m Diane Chappell.

I’m an internationally published photographer located in the Central New York area minutes from Albany, NY, servicing New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Vermont. I have over 7 years of experience with a diverse portfolio working across genres including brand photography, portraiture, product photography, architectural/Interior, actor & model portfolios, editorial fashion and bo***ir.

Professional portraits present me with the stimulating challenge of evoking the subject’s personality and beauty without the assistance that theatrical ensembles or props provide. I develop a relationship with my client that relaxes them so they enjoy the experience. I believe that easing the subject and learning their personality gives me an edge in my field. Fashion photography allows me to explore the creative collaboration between design and styling through my lens. Each tableau presents an exciting, unique opportunity for me to craft a dramatic concept.
