What is the difference between a headshot and a portrait?

A headshot is a professional image focused on your face and shoulders, typically used for LinkedIn, company websites, business cards, and directories. A portrait session is broader — it may include more environment, context, or variety of poses, and is often used for personal branding, author photos, or creative professional work. Mad Lad Visuals offers both.
