Corporate Headshots for Merced — a Fast-Growing UC Town
Merced is changing quickly. UC Merced — the youngest campus in the University of California system — is expanding fast and drawing researchers, faculty, and new institutions with it. Around that sit Mercy Medical Center, a deep agricultural base, and a growing logistics and manufacturing corridor where Highway 99 meets Highway 140 (think the Castle Commerce Center and major operations like Foster Farms and Frito-Lay). It's a community on the rise, and a current, professional headshot signals you're rising with it.
We're Alfonso and Niomi Rojas, about 50 minutes north in Modesto — close enough that Merced is an easy trip for us. Book an individual session at the studio, or have us bring the full setup on-site to the UC Merced campus, Mercy Medical Center, an ag or logistics operation, or your downtown office. Same coached, professional headshot either way.

Photography Services Available in Merced
Full-service corporate photography for Merced professionals — from individual headshots to UC campus shoots and hospital team photography.
The Merced Professionals We Photograph
As Merced grows, so does the range of professionals who need a credible headshot. Here's how we approach the sectors driving that growth.
UC Merced & Research
The UC's newest campus is hiring and building fast. Faculty, researchers, postdocs, and administrators need portraits that read as credible and current for university profiles, research and lab pages, grant applications, and conference bios. We photograph individuals at the studio or run a department day on the Merced campus, matched to one consistent look.
Healthcare
Mercy Medical Center and the practices around it keep Merced's healthcare community busy. We bring the studio on-site so physicians, nurses, and administrators can step in for an approachable, credible portrait between shifts — for provider directories and referral networks — and get right back to patients.
Ag, Logistics & Manufacturing
Where Highway 99 meets Highway 140, Merced has become a hub for agriculture, distribution, and manufacturing — from the Castle Commerce Center to operations like Foster Farms and Frito-Lay. Executives, operations leaders, and sales teams need grounded, professional headshots for company sites, trade directories, and LinkedIn, shot in the office or on the floor.
Downtown & Small Business
Merced's realtors, financial advisors, attorneys, and independent business owners build their reputations locally. A polished, current headshot on your website, yard signs, and marketing tells a growing community you're established and serious. Being under an hour away makes booking one simple.
