Executive vs Express Headshot Session

When it comes to headshots, making the right choice can be crucial. Whether you’re a business professional, an aspiring actor, or simply updating your LinkedIn profile, deciding between an Executive Headshot Session and an Express Headshot Session can make all the difference. Let’s break down the details of each package so you can make an informed decision.

Executive Headshot Session

Picture this: you want a headshot that not only captures your professional image but also exudes confidence and sophistication. In that case, the Executive Headshot Session is tailored just for you.

With the Executive Session, you get the whole package:

  • Hair and Makeup Services: Our team of experts will ensure you look your absolute best, with professional hair and makeup services that enhance your features and provide a polished appearance.
  • Wardrobe & Background Changes: Multiple outfit changes and background options allow you to showcase different facets of your personality and style. Whether you’re going for a corporate look or something more casual, we’ve got you covered.
  • 3 Final Retouched Headshots: Choose from three meticulously retouched headshots that highlight your unique qualities. You’ll have a variety of options to use across your professional profiles, website, and marketing materials.

An Executive Headshot Session is perfect if you’re looking to make a lasting impression, whether for business purposes, acting gigs, or personal branding.

On the flip side, if you’re short on time but still need a standout headshot, the Express Headshot Session is the way to go.

The Express Headshot Session is ideal if you need a quick, high-quality image for a last-minute opportunity or if you’re simply looking for a straightforward, no-fuss option.

Now that you’re armed with the knowledge of both sessions, you can confidently choose the one that aligns with your specific needs and time constraints.

Ever wondered why your headshots look flat instead of flattering? 👀

It all comes down to lighting. In the studio, I use one main light source and strategically placed reflectors to bounce light and fill in shadows. This creates that soft, even glow that makes you look approachable and polished—while still keeping a touch of shadow to add shape and dimension to your face.

Flat lighting can make your features disappear. The right lighting makes you stand out. ✨

Here’s why 👇🏻

Most people wait for the “perfect” moment—when they’ve lost a few pounds, changed their hair, or finally feel more confident. But here’s the truth: there will always be something you’re waiting on.

Your headshot isn’t about some future version of you—it’s about showing up confidently in the season you’re in today. Because this version of you? The one leading your team, meeting clients, building your business—that’s the version people want to connect with.

When your photo feels authentic and current, it builds instant trust. Outdated or staged images can actually do the opposite, making it harder for people to recognize the real you.

So don’t wait for “someday.” The right time to show up as your best self is always now.

🚫 Let’s talk wardrobe no-nos for headshots.

I want you to look polished, confident, and distraction-free in your photos—and sometimes that means skipping certain outfit choices.

For men:

❌ No undershirts peeking through

❌ If you’re wearing a tie, make sure your shirt buttons all the way up

❌ If it doesn’t, we’re ditching the tie

For women:

❌ Skip the sleeveless tops—your arms will compete with your face for attention

✅ A sleeve (even short) helps keep the focus where it belongs—on YOU

The goal? A clean, intentional look that draws people in and keeps their attention right where it should be—your face.

📸 Save this before your session so you can show up ready and confident.

Let's talk... ⬇️

If your headshot isn’t working on your website, LinkedIn, or social media...

👉🏻 it’s probably not the image.

👉🏻 it’s the crop.

Yep, even the most beautiful photo can fall flat if it’s not framed for the platform it’s on.

Here are 3 common cropping mistakes I see all the time (and how to fix them):

1️⃣ Too Close – When there’s no breathing room, the image feels cramped and overly intense.

2️⃣ Too Far – If we can’t clearly see your face, we lose the connection instantly.

3️⃣ Wrong Shape for the Platform – That rectangle you uploaded to LinkedIn? It just became a circle... and cut off half your head.

✨ The fix? Intentional cropping before you upload—so your headshot looks polished, professional, and approachable everywhere.

Want a headshot that works across all platforms? Let’s create one that does just that.
