When you need something more than a basic headshot, you need a portrait. I do a ton of these all over Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Hampton Roads. The idea is want an image that says more about the subject.
This is common if a publication, organization, etc. needs more! Maybe you're getting recognition for a recent project, giving a presentation, or just need to show people a little more about your personality. A generic white backdrop usually doesn't do that as well as a relevant structure, design, or brand name to give some context.
You're also allow to smile, or express yourself in a way that's a little less traditional. Dare I say fun?
It's likely not a secret that these sessions are very fun for a photographer. The creativity of these shoots are something I love to work through. It's fun to learn a little more about a client, and get to know more about who they are and what they do.
