Common mistakes people make booking a headshot session

Most problems with a headshot session trace back to a small number of avoidable mistakes, usually made before the session even happens.

Booking on price alone, without checking what’s actually included, is the most common one. Leaving the brief vague and assuming the photographer will simply know what’s wanted is another. So is booking too close to a deadline and leaving no room for a reshoot if something goes wrong on the day.

Every one of these is fixable with a five-minute conversation before booking, which is exactly why that conversation is worth having.

Pricing, process and everything else sits on the Headshots page, and a direct message gets a straight answer faster than a search ever will, so get in touch if in doubt.

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.
