How Much Time Does a Headshot Take?

When preparing for a headshot session, a question that I get frequently is “how much time does a headshot take”?  And like everything in photography, the answer is, “it depends.”  I know that’s not particularly helpful.  So, here are some general ideas when it comes to timing for headshots.  If it’s an individual session for one person, we can spend anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours depending on the number of outfits, setups, and images needed.  Corporate headshot sessions are quicker.  First, I will set up lighting and backdrop in a nice space in your office (usually a conference room or similar space).  Then, I like to have a test subject come in and we will test the lighting to make sure everything is set perfectly.  Finally, we are ready to roll!  At this point, I can spend anywhere between a couple of minutes to about 15 minutes per person.  Some folks will need more time and others will not.  I’m happy to spend the extra time with those that want it.  We are usually perfecting hair and clothing and I’d rather have it right and approved when they walk away.  We want everyone to love their headshots!

Headshots for Global Edge Consultants

I have photographed the members of Global Edge Consultants on several occasions for headshots.  This latest round included new employees and a couple of re-takes.  After setting up in the conference room with background and lighting, I was ready to go.  These ladies helped each other to be sure hair was just right and clothing was perfected.  A sister company needed a different look.  So I switched to the white background and changed the lighting a bit and the last two headshots were ready to be photographed.  I was able to get in and out quickly with minimal disturbance to their work day.

Here`s your answer 👇🏻

Sometimes it’s the smallest edits that make the biggest impact.

In this before-and-after, I removed the glare from my client’s glasses—not to change who they are, but to make sure their eyes (and confidence) shine through without distraction.

This is a perfect example of what thoughtful editing is all about:
💻 Not heavy filters.
🚫 Not reshaping your features.
✔️ Just refining the details so you feel like the best version of yourself.

From lens glare to flyaway hairs, subtle skin retouching to wardrobe clean-up—I handle the behind-the-scenes so you can focus on showing up relaxed and confident.

Because when you feel good in front of the camera, it shows.

📸 Want a headshot or branding photo that feels like YOU—just a little more polished? Let’s talk. I’d love to work with you.

Here’s the truth…

People decide if they want to work with you in seconds - and your visuals do the talking.

If you’re not attracting the right clients, take a look at your branding:

✔️ If your photos don’t reflect your brand, then potential clients won’t see your value.

✔️ If your online imagery is inconsistent, then it can be hard to build trust.

✔️ If you’re not showing yourself in your content, then clients miss the chance to connect with you.

✨ The good news? I can fix all of that.

With a personalized branding session, we’ll create a collection of images that reflect your personality, your professionalism, and your purpose—so the right clients see you and say yes.

👉 Contact me if you’re ready to elevate your brand and start booking the clients who truly get you.

Let’s be real—dating is already tough.

Your profile photos shouldn’t be what’s holding you back.

Here’s how personal branding photos can actually help you find your match:

✅ First Impressions Matter
In dating apps, your photo is everything. Low-quality, outdated, or awkward photos can get you passed over—before they even read your bio.

✅ You’ll Get More Views & Messages
Professional lighting, flattering angles, and natural poses = more swipes, more engagement, more chances to connect.

✅ Capture the Best Version of You
I’ll guide you through a session that feels relaxed, fun, and confident—no forced smiles or stiff poses. Just you, at your best.

✅ It’s an Investment in Yourself
You’d update your LinkedIn headshot, right? This is your personal life. A great profile photo says you care about how you show up—and that confidence is attractive.

✅ Better Photos = Better Matches
No more blurry bathroom selfies. A curated, professional look sets the tone for real connection.

This is your sign to stop relying on selfies and start showing up as the confident, attractive, amazing human you are.

📲 Contact Me to book your personal branding session—I’ll help you make an unforgettable first impression.
