General Headshot Sessions

  • Most people aren’t. Every session is guided from start to finish, with clear direction on posing, body position, and angles so you’re never left wondering what to do. You don’t need to know how to stand, what to do with your hands, or where your “good side” is. We’ll guide you through the process and keep things relaxed, efficient, and focused on getting strong, usable images.

  • Yes. We provide clear, simple direction throughout the session to refine posture, angles, and overall presence so the final images look confident, natural, and intentional rather than stiff or over-posed.

  • Yes. We’ll review images together during the session, typically between looks or at the end, to make sure everything is on track. This allows us to make small adjustments if needed and ensures you leave confident you have strong, usable options.

  • Session length depends on the type of session booked, with details listed on each package at booking. Some sessions are designed to be quick and focused, while others allow more time for multiple looks and guidance. The process is structured so you never feel rushed or unsure of what to do next.

Team & Corporate Headshots

  • Most studio headshots are photographed on neutral gray or white backgrounds because they’re clean, modern, professional, and highly versatile. Lighting is adjusted for each subject to create the right tone and subtle gradient. We’ll use a lighter or darker background depending on the look you’re going for, your wardrobe, and any style or branding considerations.

    Studio headshots can also be paired with background replacement using images from our background library, or a client-provided image if it’s suitable for professional use. Background replacements can reflect professional environments such as office interiors, corporate lobbies, outdoor settings, or urban backdrops, allowing the final image to align with your role, industry, or brand.

    If your company already has an established headshot style, we can match existing backgrounds for consistency. Simply upload a reference image when booking your session.
