Meet Verle Obri:
Portrait Photographer
Hi, my name is Verle Obri, and since 2015 I’ve been photographing people in a way that feels calm, honest, and unforced. Verle Obri Portraits is located in Springfield, N.J. next door to Short Hills and Millburn, We serve clients throughout Union, Essex, and Morris Counties in New Jersey, with a focus on creating portraits that feel like a true, natural reflection of who you are today.
We work primarily on-location, because many portraits feel more genuine when they’re made in real spaces: offices, homes, and quiet corners of the city where people can relax and be themselves. For executives, that might mean coming directly to your office to create executive headshots that suit CEOs, vice presidents, founders, and senior professionals who need to look credible and at ease in their own environment. When greater control is needed, I also work out of a large professional studio in Fairfield, New Jersey, where we can shape the light precisely and keep attention fully on you.
We photograph men and women of all ages: professionals building their careers, business owners shaping their personal brand, and clients in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond who are reinventing themselves in work, life, or the dating world. The portraits we create are used in many different ways. Some become executive portraits for LinkedIn, company websites, and speaking profiles. Others become legacy portraits intended for the home – images that live on walls, in leather-bound albums, or in folio boxes, and are meant to be shared with family for years to come. For business owners and creatives, we build personal branding photography that provides a cohesive set of images for websites, social media, and marketing. And for clients navigating the online dating world, we create dating profile images that can completely change the quality of your connections by presenting you as clear, approachable, and genuine rather than over-stylized or misleading.
Behind the scenes, we work with Canon cameras and lenses and Profoto lighting to keep the technical side quiet and reliable, so the focus stays on expression, shape, and mood. Once the images are finished, they’re carefully edited to remain flattering but believable, and can be delivered as digital files as well as finished pieces: canvas wall art, albums, and folio boxes that allow your portraits to be seen and enjoyed every day instead of sitting unseen on a screen.
Whether you need a portrait for your career, your family, or a new season of your
personal life, our aim is simple: to create images you feel at ease with, proud to share,
and confident living with for years to come.
Let’s create portraits that open new doors.
