Military Headshots | NJROTC Temecula Cadet Matheson | San Diego, CA
Why can’t you find a San Diego Studio Photographer that offers Military Headshots?
In 8 years of military service, my only "headshot" was during boot camp - my silly self never purchased it! Why don't studio photographers offer this? Especially in a military-heavy city like San Diego, why don't more photographers offer posed studio portraits with flags in the background? How does a service member get ahold of new portraits, anyways? PAO? Fleet and Family? MCCS? MWR?
It's interesting to see how often professional studio photographers post in-search-of asking for someone who can accommodate an inquiry they received for such a portrait.
I am on a mission to make these more common and to -eventually- get my uniform back on for one last official photo.
In the meantime, let's normalize these portraiture opportunities to capture your military career before it's only a memory and you want to grow a retirement beard.
In honor of my mission, I am sharing some images that Cadet Matheson picked out from his recent portrait session. This Junior at Chaparral High School NJROTC in Temecula is on his way to a fantastic career in the Navy.

In honor of this NJROTC Cadet, Here is an article published online about his exciting NJROTC career - like when he got to meet the Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro in 2021.
“NJROTC Cadet Aaron Matheson said the who's who of high-ranking naval leaders was impressive and all were very welcoming — "almost everyone I met had an amazing story to tell."
