What Is the Process for a Headshot Photography Session?

When it comes to getting a professional headshot, the process should feel seamless and enjoyable while delivering exceptional results. My goal is to ensure you look and feel your best, from the moment we start planning your session to when you receive your final, polished images. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect during a headshot photography session with me.

Pre-Session Consultation: Setting the Stage for Success

Before the camera even comes out, we’ll start with a pre-session wardrobe and preparation consultation. During this meeting, we’ll discuss:

  • Wardrobe Selection: What to wear to reflect your professional image and align with your industry’s expectations.

  • Backdrops: Whether you’d like a clean studio look or an environmental background that reflects your brand.

  • Location Preferences: You can choose between my studio or a location of your choice, such as your office or an outdoor space.

This consultation helps us tailor the session to your needs, so you feel confident and prepared.

The Photography Session: Guided Every Step of the Way

When it’s time for your session, I make the process easy and stress-free. Here’s what happens:

  • Posing Coaching: Don’t worry if you’re not a natural in front of the camera! I’ll guide you through poses and expressions that highlight your best features while maintaining a professional and approachable look.

  • Multiple Shots: We’ll capture a variety of angles, expressions, and backgrounds to give you plenty of options to choose from.

Post-Session: Reviewing and Selecting Your Favorites

After the session, I’ll provide you with an online proof gallery, where you can review all the images at your convenience. From this gallery, you can select your two favorite images to be professionally edited. Each photo will be:

  • Retouched to enhance your natural features while keeping the image authentic.

  • Delivered in high-resolution, perfect for printing or uploading to digital platforms like LinkedIn, company websites, or professional directories.

Quick Turnaround for Your Convenience

Once you’ve made your selections, I’ll edit and upload the final images to a custom online gallery, where you can download them directly. My standard turnaround time is just two business days after your selections are made, ensuring you receive your polished headshots promptly.
