Professional Headshots

Your headshot is often the first thing people see — on LinkedIn, on your company website, or in a Google search. It shapes their first impression before you ever get a chance to speak. We create modern, approachable headshot photography that reflects both your personality and your professionalism, so that first impression opens doors instead of closing them.

More Than a Photo — A First Impression

A study by PhotoFeeler found that the right headshot can increase your perceived competence by over 76 percent and your likability by over 73 percent. Those are not vanity metrics — they are the difference between a prospect clicking “Connect” on LinkedIn or scrolling past your profile. The difference between a client feeling confident in your team or wondering if they are dealing with the right company.

Yet most professionals are still using headshots from five years ago, cropped photos from events, or — worse — no professional photo at all. Your headshot is the most viewed image in your entire professional life. It appears on your LinkedIn profile, your company website, your email signature, speaking engagements, press mentions, and proposals. If it does not accurately represent who you are today, it is working against you.

Our headshot photography is designed to capture the real you — confident, approachable, and professional. We guide you through every pose and expression so you look natural and relaxed, not stiff and uncomfortable.

Our Process

Our 3-step process makes headshot photography effortless — even if you have never had professional photos taken before.

1. Discovery Call — Understand Your Needs

We start with a quick consultation to learn where your headshots will be used (LinkedIn, company website, speaker page), the vibe you want to convey (corporate, creative, approachable), and any specific requirements you have. We then send you a personalized prep guide with wardrobe recommendations, grooming tips, and what to expect on session day. No surprises, no stress.

2. Production — Capture Your Best Self

On session day, we set up professional lighting and backgrounds, then guide you through poses and expressions. We shoot tethered so you can see images in real-time on a monitor — this builds confidence and ensures we are nailing the look you want. Multiple outfit changes and background swaps give you variety. Most clients leave saying it was actually enjoyable.

3. Launch & Track — Deliver Polished Results

Within 5 to 7 business days, you receive your professionally retouched images in a private online gallery. Each headshot is delivered in multiple formats: full-resolution for print, web-optimized for your website, and platform-specific crops for LinkedIn and social media. You download what you need and start using them immediately.

Headshot Photography FAQ

Individual headshot sessions typically run 30 to 45 minutes. This gives us time for multiple outfit changes, different backgrounds, and a variety of expressions. Team headshot sessions are scheduled at approximately 15 to 20 minutes per person, depending on the number of looks needed. We build in transition time so the session never feels rushed.

A standard individual headshot session includes 3 to 5 retouched final images. Corporate team packages include 2 to 3 retouched images per person. Additional retouched images are available as add-ons. Every image is delivered in both high-resolution (print-ready) and web-optimized formats sized for LinkedIn, your website, and social media profiles.

We send a detailed prep guide after booking that covers wardrobe recommendations specific to your industry and where the headshots will be used. General guidelines: solid colors photograph best, avoid busy patterns and large logos, and bring 2 to 3 outfit options so we can capture different looks. If you are unsure, we are happy to help you choose outfits that photograph well and align with the image you want to project.

Yes. We can shoot headshots at your office, co-working space, or any professional location. On-location sessions add authenticity and give your headshots a unique, branded feel.
