Welcome to Michael Goran Veljic Photography, where every headshot is more than a photo – it’s your first impression. Goran understands that as a therapist, psychologist, or client-facing professional, your image speaks volumes. Whether for LinkedIn, your website, or social media, your headshot tells a story before you even say a word.
With over 30 years of experience across Europe and the United States, Goran has mastered the art of creating authentic portraits. His goal? To be NYC's best professional headshot photographer, helping therapists and other mental health professionals feel confident, approachable, and genuine in front of the camera.
With over three decades of experience, Michael Goran Veljic is a trusted name in headshot and portrait photography. Having worked with therapists, psychologists, and client-facing professionals, Goran understands the importance of authenticity in every portrait.
As the partner of Kari Groff, MD founder of one of NYC’s largest mental health and allied professional networking groups, BBMHG, Goran has built strong ties with mental health and small business communities. His passion lies in helping mental health professionals elevate their brands and connect with their ideal clients.

What began as a passion project for Goran—photographing his surroundings as a young teen in Europe—has blossomed into a thriving career explicitly tailored to New York City therapists. Starting out capturing beautiful moments at NYC City Hall, Goran quickly discovered his talent for creating meaningful, authentic images. Fun and interesting fact! Kari and Goran met outside of NYC City Hall when her friend was getting married!
After partnering with Kari, Goran began connecting with therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists. Inspired by their work in mental health and his own interest in psychology, Goran decided to carve out a unique niche: professional headshot and portrait photography explicitly tailored for NYC therapists and mental health professionals.

Goran Veljic believes that every photograph tells a story, and for therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists, it’s about more than just a professional headshot; it’s about building trust and creating meaningful connections with your clients and peers.
In the mental health profession, networking plays a vital role. Your presence, both online and in person, is an extension of the compassionate work you do. Photography helps bridge that gap by creating a visual representation of your values and personality. A genuine, professional image has the power to spark connection and communicate your warmth, approachability, and professionalism.
Our mission is to help you authentically present yourself through stunning, high-quality headshots and portraits. Whether you’re connecting with new clients, collaborating with colleagues, or expanding your professional network, we craft images that resonate with your audience and reflect the essence of who you are.
We infuse every session with joy and ease because we believe the experience matters just as much as the final product.
