LinkedIn Headshot | Houston Headshot Photographer

LinkedIn Headshot

According to a January 2019 article by Pauline Gabrielli, “LinkedIn profiles with professional headshots receive roughly 14 times more profile views and are 36 times more likely to receive a message on LinkedIn. It’s important to look professional, hard-working and approachable.” 

This article was written a year and a half ago.  The thing about living in a pandemic is that meeting people virtually is all that we can do right now.  Your headshot is more important than ever!  When companies are reviewing candidates on LinkedIn, you certainly want every advantage you can get.  The professional headshot might make the difference in getting that message.  The professional headshot makes you look confident, capable, and friendly.  What recruiter wouldn’t want you on their team?

Headshot Examples

LinkedIn is a professional social network and the key word there is professional.  It’s not a place for the selfie, the group cutout, the family photo, or the brand logo.  Those types of images do not present a professional.  People do business with people.  I think I’ve said that 100 times but it’s so true.  The human connection is a powerful force.  You want your headshot to make that human connection in an instant.  Thankfully, photos can do that!  Below are some examples of professional headshots both in and out of the studio.  Background and location can be tailored to suit your style.

✨ What you feel in the moment and what the camera captures aren’t always the same — and that’s the magic of professional photography.

The tiny adjustments, the angles, the lighting, the direction… it all comes together to create images that feel polished, confident, and completely you.

Ready to see your own moment vs. photo transformation?

Let’s plan your branding session. 🤍

Here`s the truth 👇🏻

The location isn`t just about pretty backdrops. It`s about matching the vibe to YOUR brand and YOUR audience.

When we plan your branding session, we talk through:
→ What you do
→ Who you`re speaking to
→ What problems you`re solving

That tells us everything. Do we want warm and inviting? Professional and polished? Industrial and edgy?

I`ve got access to tons of locations (hello, Peerspace 👋🏻), and we`ll look through them together to find the perfect fit for your brand. You don`t need to figure this out alone—that`s literally my job.

Your photos should feel like YOU, and that starts with choosing a space that makes sense for the people you serve.

Ready to create a library of authentic branding content in a space that actually fits your business?

Let’s be honest—being a woman in a male-dominated industry means you work twice as hard to be taken seriously.

And whether we like it or not, people make decisions about your credibility in seconds… often before you ever speak a word.

That’s where powerful, intentional branding comes in.

Women don’t need softer visuals.

Women don’t need to “blend in.”

Women need imagery that reflects the authority, confidence, and leadership they already bring to the table.

Here’s what strong branding does for women in male-led spaces:

✨ Positions you as the expert — not the exception

✨ Shows strength without losing authenticity

✨ Communicates confidence instantly

✨ Helps potential clients trust you faster

✨ Builds a visual presence that speaks for you—especially in rooms you aren’t in yet

Branding isn’t about looking perfect.

It’s about showing up as the most powerful, grounded version of you—and making sure the world sees it too.

If you’re ready to elevate your presence and build a brand that stands strong (and unapologetically feminine) in any industry…

If you’re a speaker, your images speak before you do. 🎤

Event planners are checking your website, your LinkedIn, your media kit — all before they ever reach out. And the first question they’re asking is:

“Can I imagine this person on our stage?”

That’s why speaker-focused imagery matters.

In my headshot + branding sessions, I don’t just have to take portraits —
I can recreate the experience of you presenting.

Spotlight, stage-inspired lighting, gestures, expressions, confidence… even if we’re shooting in my studio, we can make it look like you’re mid-keynote.

Because if speaking is part of your business, your visuals should reflect that — long before you step on stage.
