Having shot a great many headshot sessions, the recurring mistakes are rarely technical. Almost always, it’s direction and communication.
Leaving a client to figure out what to do with themselves, rather than directing constantly and gently, is the most common one, and treating every headshot session the same regardless of the brief runs a close second, since it skips the one question that actually shapes a good session: what the images are actually for. Going quiet after the shoot doesn’t help either.
None of these require more skill to avoid, just more attention to the person in front of the camera.

FAQs
A couple of quick answers.
Do you deliver LinkedIn-sized crops?

How quickly will I get the final images?
A proofing gallery lands within 48 hours. Retouched finals follow within a week, sooner for team bookings with a launch date.
