Frequently Asked Questions About Headshot Sessions
What is a headshot session?
A headshot session is a photography shoot aimed at capturing professional portraits, typically focusing on the subject’s face and upper body. These images are most often used for business profiles, marketing materials, social media, and online presence.
How long does a headshot session usually last?
Headshot sessions last between 10 minutes to an hour, depending on the package you choose and the number of looks or outfit changes you would like to incorporate.
What should I wear to my headshot session?
Choosing the right outfit is essential. Opt for solid colors or simple patterns that will draw attention to your face. Avoid overly busy designs and logos. It's generally advisable to select clothing that reflects your personality while maintaining a professional appearance.
Do you provide hair and makeup services?
While we do not provide hair and makeup services on-site, we recommend coming to the session with your hair and makeup done to your preference. You may also consider hiring a professional stylist for an extra polished look.
How many images will I receive from my session?
The number of images you receive can vary based on the package selected. Typically, clients can expect 5 to 15 edited images delivered in high resolution. Additional images can often be purchased if desired.
When will I receive my edited images?
Editing usually takes about 1-2 weeks after your session. You will receive a link to view and download your images digitally once they are ready.
Can I bring someone with me to the session?
Yes, you can bring a friend or colleague for support. However, it is best to keep it to one person to minimize distractions during the shoot, allowing us to focus on capturing your best headshots.
What if I need to reschedule my session?
If you need to reschedule, please notify us as soon as possible. We require at least 24 hours notice to avoid a rescheduling fee. However, we’ll do our best to accommodate your new schedule.
Do you offer retouching services?
Yes, we provide basic retouching on all images, which includes skin blemishes, color correction, and light adjustments. Any extensive retouching can be discussed for an additional fee.
Can I use my headshot for personal purposes?
Absolutely! Your headshot images are yours to use as you please. Whether for LinkedIn, personal branding, or social media, feel free to showcase your professional persona.
What is the best time to schedule my headshot session?
It’s ideal to schedule your session when you are free of time constraints and can come prepared and relaxed. Typically, weekdays during the morning or late afternoon seem to work best!
