A good headshot session is shaped as much by what happens on either side of it as by the session itself.
Before: confirm the brief in writing, sort out what you’re wearing or bringing, and build in time either side of the session so there’s no rushing in or straight back out again the moment it wraps.
During: trust the direction. Most people relax within ten minutes.
After: review the proofing gallery properly rather than rushing a decision, and flag any specific retouching requests clearly so nothing gets missed in the final files.

FAQs
Quick answers, no fluff.
How long does a headshot session take?
Most single headshots take around 45 minutes, including a wardrobe change if one is brought along. Team sessions run in back-to-back slots so a whole office can be done in a morning.
Do you deliver LinkedIn-sized crops?
Every headshot is delivered as a square LinkedIn-ready crop alongside the uncropped retouched image, ready to drop straight into a profile.
