Headshots

What to Expect: Headshots

Headshots present you clearly and professionally, with attention to expression, posture, lighting, and detail.


Before the Session

Preparation

Preparation impacts the final result. Clothing, grooming, and overall presentation should support how you want to be seen.

Sessions run approximately 90 minutes from arrival through final image selection. Please arrive without anything scheduled immediately after, as occasionally more time is needed and we will not rush the process.

  • Clean, well-fitted clothing
  • Avoid distracting logos or busy patterns
  • Arrive camera-ready unless otherwise arranged
  • Bring approved wardrobe options if needed

During the Session

Direction

Direction is provided throughout the session to refine posture, expression, and positioning as needed.

  • Guidance for posture and angles
  • Multiple expressions and variations
  • Controlled lighting for a polished result
  • A focused and efficient session

After the Session

  • Advanced retouching available at an additional fee
  • Consistent editing and polish
  • Delivered via an online gallery for download and use

Final Note

The Standard

The goal is a strong, accurate image of you at your best. Professional does not need to feel stiff, and polished does not need to feel overdone.
