Your headshot is often the first thing a client or employer sees. A good one looks like you on a good day, communicates confidence, and works at a very small size on a profile.
What makes a headshot work
Clean lighting, a simple background, and an expression that looks natural rather than posed. The eyes should be sharp, and the framing should leave enough space around the head for cropping into square and vertical formats.
How to prepare
- Choose solid colours that suit your skin tone and industry.
- Avoid tight patterns that shimmer on camera.
- Bring a few tops and a jacket option.
- Plan grooming for the day or the day before.
- Get enough sleep and drink water.
Team and company sessions
Photographing a whole team on one day keeps lighting and backgrounds consistent, which makes your website and company page look cohesive. Short individual slots keep the day efficient.
Where you will use it
LinkedIn, your website, speaker bios, email signatures, press kits and business directories all need the same image in different crops. Ask for a few options and a high-resolution file.
How often to update
Refresh every few years, or whenever your appearance changes meaningfully. An outdated headshot undermines trust more than a modest one that looks like you today.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a headshot session take?
An individual session typically takes 20 to 45 minutes. Team days are scheduled in short blocks per person.
Can I do a headshot outdoors?
Yes. Soft outdoor light can look natural and approachable, but a studio gives consistent results in any weather.
How many final images will I receive?
It varies by package, but you can usually choose a few retouched favourites rather than receiving every frame.
