Bring 3–5 tops in solid colors — navy, charcoal, burgundy and black photograph particularly well. Avoid busy patterns and logos.

They're closely related but not identical. A corporate headshot is typically shot to match your company's brand guidelines — consistent background, lighting and framing across the team. A LinkedIn headshot is more personal and can reflect your individual style. I shoot both and many clients use the same session for both.

You'll see all your shots during the session so you can choose your favorites.

You'll be in and out in about 30–45 minutes. We start by going through the outfits you brought, then I set the lighting while we chat about what you need the headshot for. The actual shooting takes about 20 minutes — I coach you through every frame so you're never left guessing what to do with your hands or your face.

By the time we're a few minutes in, you'll be relaxed and we'll be getting great shots. For practical tips, read How to Look Confident in Your Headshot.

I recommend every 2–3 years, or whenever there's been a noticeable change in your appearance — new hairstyle, glasses, significant weight change. If someone meets you in person and can't reconcile you with your photo, it's time. Read more in How Often Should You Update Your Professional Headshot.

AI-generated headshots have gotten a lot of attention, but they come with real drawbacks — uncanny expressions, inconsistent lighting, and the risk that someone recognizes it as AI.
