Whether you're updating your LinkedIn profile, booking team photos, or planning a full branding session, this guide will help you prepare and get the most out of your experience.
How much do professional headshots cost?
Professional headshot pricing depends on the type of session, number of looks, and whether you’re booking for an individual or a team. We offer clear, upfront pricing for headshots, team sessions, and personal branding photography so you can choose the option that fits your needs.
How long does a headshot session take?
Most individual headshot sessions take between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on outfit changes and the number of looks. Personal branding sessions and team photos may take longer to allow for multiple setups and variety.
Do you offer same-day headshots?
Yes, we offer same-day headshot services. You’ll be able to review your images immediately after your session and select your favorites on the spot, making it easy to update your LinkedIn, website, or marketing quickly.
What should I wear for a professional headshot?
We recommend solid colors, well-fitted clothing, and styles that reflect your profession and personal brand. Avoid busy patterns or logos. Business headshots typically work best with neutral tones, while branding sessions allow for more variety.
Do you help with posing and expression?
Absolutely. We guide you through posing, posture, and expression so you look natural, confident, and approachable. Our process is designed for people who are not used to being in front of the camera.
Do you offer studio and on-location sessions?
Yes, we offer both studio sessions and on-location photography at your office or preferred setting. Studio sessions provide a clean, controlled look, while on-location sessions offer a more natural, lifestyle feel.
What is the difference between a headshot and a branding session?
A headshot is typically a clean, professional image used for LinkedIn or business profiles. A personal branding session includes a variety of images—headshots, lifestyle portraits, and environmental photos—designed to create a complete visual identity for your website, social media, and marketing.
Do you photograph corporate teams and companies?

Can you match headshots for an entire team?
Yes, we create consistent headshots for teams using the same lighting, background, and style to ensure a cohesive look—even across multiple sessions.

How often should I update my professional headshot?
Most professionals should update their headshot every 1–2 years, or anytime their appearance or brand changes significantly. If you’ve changed your hairstyle, updated your personal style, or shifted your career focus, it’s a good time for a new headshot. Keeping your image current helps maintain trust and ensures your online presence accurately represents you.
