Professional Headshots

Headshots you'll actually want to use.

Professional headshot photography for executives, founders, and personal brands, based at the St. Louis studio with on-site sessions in Clayton, Central West End, Ladue, and across the US. Sessions start at $250 for the Express format (20 to 30 minutes, one outfit, one backdrop) and scale up to a 60-minute Standard session with multiple looks, lifestyle frames, and tethered review. You see every shot live on a monitor and pick the keepers in real time. Proofs arrive within one business day and final retouched files within five business days. Five hundred professionals across Merrill Lynch, KPMG, Northwestern Mutual, RubinBrown, and Edward Jones have sat on the same stool in this studio for individual sessions, executive portraits, and team headshots. Book a session through the contact form and we will follow up to confirm timing and current pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about our professional headshot sessions.

How does pricing work?
Pricing is à la carte: a session fee for the time we spend together, plus a per-image fee for each retouched image you select from your proofing gallery. Nothing is pre-bundled, so you only pay for the images you actually love. Contact us for current session and image pricing.
How long is a session?
The Express Session runs 20-30 minutes: one outfit, one backdrop, fast and focused. The Standard Session is approximately 60 minutes with time for multiple outfits, backdrop changes, and lifestyle photography. Both include real-time image review.
What should I wear to a headshot session?
Solid colors that complement your skin tone photograph best (navy, charcoal, black, jewel tones). Avoid busy patterns and visible logos. We send a detailed prep guide when you book with specific recommendations for your industry.
How many final images do I receive?
As many as you want. There's no fixed number included. Image pricing is a la carte. You review every shot in real time as we shoot and again in the proofing gallery afterward, then select the ones you want retouched. You only pay for images you love.
Can I use the photos for LinkedIn and other platforms?
Yes. Every image is delivered in high-resolution digital format, optimized for both web and print. Use them for LinkedIn, company websites, email signatures, speaker bios, social media profiles, and marketing materials.
Do you offer studio and outdoor options?
Yes. We have a professional studio in St. Louis and also shoot on location: outdoors, at your office, or anywhere that fits your brand. We bring a complete portable studio setup for on-site sessions nationwide.
Should I get new headshots every year?
We recommend updating your headshot every 1-2 years, or whenever your appearance changes significantly. An outdated headshot creates a disconnect when people meet you in person. Regular updates keep your professional image current and credible.
