HEADSHOTS

Your headshot is your first handshake.

People decide whether to reply, hire or book within seconds of seeing your photo. A good headshot looks like you on your best day: confident, approachable and current.

1 · Backdrop

Gray is the safest choice: it suits every skin tone and every website.

2 · Lighting

Soft, even light from the front. Approachable and current; the default for corporate, healthcare and real estate.

3 · Crop

Chest-up works everywhere: LinkedIn, team pages and print.

4 · Pose

Square to the camera: direct and trustworthy. The standard for team pages and badges.

HOW BOOKING WORKS

Six steps. You do the first one.

  1. 01

    Book online

    Pick a session and a date. It takes about a minute, and you’re refunded in full if the date isn’t open.

  2. 02

    Confirm & plan

    Within one business day we confirm your time and location and send a two-minute prep form: where the photo will be used, your industry, the look you want.

  3. 03

    Get ready

    You get our wardrobe and grooming guide. Bring two or three tops; we’ll help you choose on the day.

  4. 04

    The session

    Arrive ten minutes early. We dial in light on test frames, then coach posture, angle and expression in small, easy adjustments.

  5. 05

    Pick on the spot

    Every frame appears on a laptop as we shoot. You see what we see, and you leave knowing which images you chose.

  6. 06

    Retouched & delivered

    Natural retouching, with crops for LinkedIn, your website and print, delivered to a private gallery in three business days.

PREP GUIDE

What to wear, and what to skip.

  • Solid, mid-tone colors photograph best: navy, charcoal, burgundy, emerald, plum, soft blue. They flatter most skin tones and hold up on any backdrop.
  • Skip small checks, thin stripes and busy prints. On camera they can shimmer and pull attention from your face.
  • Fit matters more than brand. Press it the night before; we’ll handle stray lint and collars on set.
  • Layers give options. A blazer over a shell or open collar gives you two looks in one outfit.
  • Match where the photo will live: a suit for law or finance, a sweater or open collar for creative and tech, your uniform or scrubs if that’s your brand.
RETOUCHING

You, on your best day.

We do
  • Skin cleanup: blemishes, redness and temporary marks
  • Flyaway hairs and lint
  • Under-eye shadows softened, not erased
  • Teeth and eye whites gently brightened
  • Color, exposure and white balance matched across every image
  • Backdrop cleanup and consistent crop for teams
We don’t
  • Change your face shape or body
  • Remove permanent features like freckles, scars or birthmarks unless you ask
  • Over-smooth skin so it looks plastic
  • Make you look like someone else
FOR HR & OFFICE MANAGERS

Team day, handled.

Here’s everything we need from you for a team headshot day, and what we take care of.

A 10 × 12 ft space

A conference room or quiet corner near an outlet. We set up in about 30 minutes and pack up in 20.

A sign-up schedule

We send a simple time-slot sheet. About 5–8 minutes per person keeps the line moving and nobody waits long.

A name list

Files arrive named “First-Last.jpg”, ready for your website, Slack and badges.

One consistent look

Same backdrop, light, height and crop for everyone, so the team page reads as one company.

New-hire matching

We save your lighting and crop settings, so people who join next year match the team exactly.

Remote or multi-site

Several offices? We bring the same setup to each, or schedule a make-up day for people who missed theirs.

THE GLASS

Why the lens matters more than the camera.

Same room, three lenses. Tap one, then drag the aperture to see how we control what’s sharp and what melts away.

85mmf/2.8ISO 32001/200

Canon EF 85mm f/1.8

f/4–f/5.6 for headshots

The classic portrait length. From six to eight feet away it flattens facial features in a flattering way, keeps the nose and jaw in proportion and melts the background. For headshots we shoot around f/4–f/5.6 so both eyes, and your ears, stay sharp.

Full-frame sensor

Our Canon EOS 6D Mark II is a full-frame camera: more light per pixel than crop-sensor and phone cameras, so skin stays clean at the high ISOs dark ballrooms demand. Dual Pixel autofocus locks onto eyes.

Strobe, not just a flash

A Godox AD600 Pro (600 watt-seconds) shapes light through large modifiers for soft, even portraits. High-speed sync lets us overpower the sun for outdoor headshots.

Continuous light

Aputure LS 120d II LEDs let you see the light on your face before we take a frame, which makes posing easier for people who don’t love being photographed.

Tethered proofing

Images go straight to Lightroom on a laptop during the session, so you can choose favorites on a big screen instead of squinting at the back of a camera.

Backed up twice

Every session is copied to two drives the same day and kept for a year, so a lost card never means lost photos.

One color standard

Every gallery is color-matched in Lightroom so skin tones look natural across lighting, rooms and sessions, which matters for teams photographed months apart.

FAQ

Good questions.

Still deciding? Text your question to 614-404-7082 and get a straight answer from our team.

Text a question
Where do individual headshot sessions happen?

At your office, at a location we choose together in Columbus or Atlanta, or anywhere with a quiet 10 × 12 ft space. We bring the backdrop and lights. Tell us your preference on the prep form.

I hate having my photo taken. Will this work for me?

Most of our clients say the same thing. We coach you in small steps, show you the frames on a laptop as we go and keep shooting until you see one you like. Nobody is asked to “just smile.”

How many photos do I get?

Express includes 2 retouched images, Signature 5 and Personal Brand 12. You choose them on the spot, and you can add more retouched images for $38.50 each.

How fast are headshots delivered?

Retouched headshots arrive in 3 business days. Add 48-hour rush if you need them for a launch, an announcement or a deadline.

Can my team’s headshots match ones we already have?

Yes. Send a sample and we’ll match the backdrop, light and crop. Once we’ve photographed your team, we save the settings so new hires match too.

Is the photographer separate from the video crew?

Yes. A photo booking gets a dedicated photographer whose only job is stills. If you also book video, each crew has its own role and shot list.

How many event photos will we get?

Most events land at 40–80 edited photos per hour of coverage, depending on the program. We deliver the keepers, not every frame.

Can we use the photos in our marketing?

Yes. Your organization can use them for marketing, press, social, your website and fundraising. Ask us about paid ad campaigns or resale.

Do you give us the RAW files?

We deliver finished, edited high-resolution JPEGs. RAW files aren’t included, because the edit is part of the work.

What if I need to reschedule?

Individual headshot sessions reschedule free with 48 hours’ notice. Event, team and brand bookings follow our booking terms.

Do you photograph events with children?

Yes. Your organization handles releases from parents or guardians, and we never use images of minors in our portfolio without written permission.
