You're a young professional in demand. Now look the part.
$399 · 3 retouched files · same-week turnaround. A studio headshot built for Charlotte's most in-demand young professionals: the founders, operators, and rising leaders getting noticed for the right reasons.
You're already in demand. Your headshot should say so before you do.
Recognition gets you on the radar. What happens next is a click. Recruiters, clients, press, and panel organizers all look you up before they ever reach out, and a cropped phone selfie undersells the professional you've become. The Express session is engineered for one purpose: a single studio-grade headshot that makes you look like the young professional people are already talking about. One outfit. One look. Three retouched files. 48-hour delivery. That's it.
30 minutes, in and out.
Built for young professionals with packed calendars. Pull up between meetings, get coached, and leave with the shot. No full afternoon required.
One purpose. Done right.
Not a brand library. Not a team session. One polished, studio-grade headshot that does the heavy lifting everywhere your name shows up.
$399. No surprises.
No "premium tier." No "we'll get back to you on pricing." One flat rate. Everything below is included.
