FAQ

What is a professional headshot?
A professional headshot is a polished portrait used for business, branding, and professional purposes such as LinkedIn, company websites, speaking engagements, press features, and marketing materials. It’s designed to present you confident, approachable, and credible. It’s often your first impression — clients, partners, and employers will see your headshot before they ever meet you. A strong headshot builds trust, communicates credibility, and sets the tone for how you’re perceived.
Anyone with an online presence can benefit from a professional headshot. Professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, creatives, real estate agents, speakers, and personal brands all rely on headshots to represent them visually. If you want to be taken seriously, stand out from competitors, and feel confident sharing your image, a professional headshot is essential.

Your wardrobe plays a huge role in how your headshot is perceived. Solid colors, clean lines, and well-fitted clothing photograph best. Neutrals and jewel tones are timeless and flattering, while busy patterns, logos, or distracting textures should be avoided. After booking, you’ll receive a detailed styling guide to help you choose outfits that align with your brand and photograph beautifully.

Professional hair and makeup services are available and highly recommended for headshot sessions. Camera-ready makeup enhances your features, evens skin tone, and ensures you look polished under professional lighting. Having hair and makeup done also helps you relax and feel confident before stepping in front of the camera.
This is one of the most common concerns, and you’re not alone. Most clients feel nervous or unsure at first. You’ll be guided through posing, posture, facial expressions, and angles throughout the session, so you never have to wonder what to do. The goal is to capture a natural, confident version of you — not something stiff or forced.
Headshot sessions typically last between 10 minutes and up to 2h, depending on the session type and number of looks. Express headshot sessions are perfect for quick updates, while longer sessions allow for outfit changes, variety, and a more relaxed pace. Corporate teams and events may vary based on size and setup.
Sessions can be held in-studio, outdoors, or on location at your office or event space. Each option offers a different look and feel, and we’ll choose the setting that best supports your brand, industry, and intended use for the images.
Each headshot session includes one professionally retouched digital image. Additional images are available for purchase at $95 per image.

Retouching is natural and refined, focusing on enhancing rather than altering your appearance. This includes skin smoothing, color correction, stray hair removal, and minor distractions. The final images still look like you — just polished and professional.

Final image selections are made at the end of your session. Your professionally retouched images will be delivered within 5 business days.
Yes — every session includes full guidance. You’ll be coached through natural poses and expressions that reflect confidence, approachability, and professionalism. No modeling experience is required; direction is provided every step of the way.
