New York City · linkedin headshots

Look like yourself on a good working day.

For an individual updating a professional profile, company bio or speaking page. A useful headshot makes you easy to recognize, suits the context where it appears and still feels like you when someone meets you in person.

Plan your session →Compare packages

Inquiry first. Availability and final scope confirmed in writing.

01 / Choose the right scope

What does the session need to solve?

Start with the placements, not the number of outfits. A single clear profile photograph may be enough. Choose more coverage when you need genuinely different uses, such as a straightforward directory portrait and an environmental image for a personal website.

Your priorityWhat to planThe decision to make
One profile updateA consistent look and a small set of choicesCompare Single Look with the intended crop and background.

Does this fit your plans?

Send your preferred date, location and what you need delivered. Review relevant work from the proposed creative professional, then confirm the scope, delivery timing and quote before booking.

Free inquiry; no date reserved. Studio hire, permits, extra editing and usage beyond the agreed scope may cost extra and should be confirmed in the quote.

Ask about session availability

03 / Prepare a useful brief

Three things to decide before booking.

Where the photograph will live

Share the profile or layout requirements and a few references with notes about what you like. A company directory may specify a background even when you are paying for your own session.

What should remain recognizably you

Wear your usual glasses if you use them day to day. Tell us about retouching preferences and features you want preserved. Aim for an accurate current portrait rather than a heavily altered version of yourself.

A practical outfit choice

Bring clean, well-fitting options that suit your work and allow comfortable movement. Check collars and necklines while seated. If there is only one required look, more outfits need not improve the result.

04 / An illustrative plan

Example: selecting a profile image without overthinking it

  1. 1

    Start with a clear head-and-shoulders composition and a natural expression. Make small adjustments to posture and light rather than inventing a different character.

  2. 2

    Check glasses reflections, stray clothing edges and whether the background competes with the face. Changes on set are often simpler than complicated editing later.

  3. 3

    View the strongest options at avatar size as well as full size. A subtle expression that works large may be hard to read in a small circular crop.

  4. 4

    Choose the image that is recognizable and suitable for its destination. This is a sample selection process, not a promise of interviews, connections or job offers.

NYC logistics

Confirm the exact meeting place, arrival instructions and changing arrangements. Catalog descriptions may reference studio or environmental setups; the specific space, availability and any rental charge must be confirmed. Leave travel time so the appointment begins without a rushed arrival.

Set the boundaries early

A professional profile session does not include company-wide photography, advertising rights, a wardrobe rental, hair and makeup or guaranteed career results. Additional retouching, new locations and rush delivery are separate scope decisions. You control your own profile upload and account.

Before you make a decision.

I am uncomfortable in front of a camera. Is that a problem?

You do not need a practiced pose. Explain what feels awkward so the session can use simple direction and a pace appropriate to the booked scope.

Should I remove my glasses?

If glasses are part of your everyday appearance, start with them. Reflections can be assessed during the session; bring a clean pair and mention lens concerns in advance.

Is this for a company buying portraits for employees?

This page is for individual self-promotion. A business booking a roster should use corporate headshots so coordination, company usage and procurement are addressed.

Usage and booking

Consumer packages include personal use, while headshot and model packages include professional self-promotion. Business packages can include website, organic social, recruiting, sales, press, and internal use. Paid advertising, outdoor campaigns, resale, and third-party use are licensed separately.

The optional $100 priority deposit after intake is credited toward the session but does not reserve a date by itself. A date is secured only after availability, scope, the booking agreement, and the required booking retainer are confirmed in writing.
