Before anyone takes your call, reads your proposal, or books a consult, they look you up.

Your headshot is the first handshake. It decides whether you look like the obvious choice or one more option.

So what actually happens in a premium headshot session? Instead of telling you, I'll show you. Here is a real two-hour session with Dr. Elizabeth Ottey, a board-certified orthodontist, from booking to final delivery.

Why do professionals invest in premium headshots?

Because your photo is working before you are. A premium headshot is not vanity. It is a business tool that builds visibility, credibility, and the opportunities that follow. It is built for:

  • Founders and executives
  • Doctors, attorneys, and advisors who win on trust
  • Top performers ready to look the part of their next level

What happens during a premium headshot session?

There are four steps, and you are coached through every one.

  1. Book your session. Pick a time from the live calendar. Most sessions book within the same week.
  2. Strategy call. We align on wardrobe, expression, and where your images will live: LinkedIn, your website, press, speaking, or your practice.
  3. The tethered shoot. Every frame appears on a calibrated monitor in real time. We review side by side and I coach expression and posture until the shot is right. You approve every look live.
  4. Delivery. Retouched photos land in your private gallery within 48 hours. Your intro video follows within 5 business days.

What should I wear to a professional headshot session?

Dress for the room you want to win.Bring 2 to 3 outfits that match how your clients, team, or audience see you. Solid colors, great fit, nothing distracting. We map them out together on the strategy call.

What is a headshot intro video and why does it matter?

People hire people they feel they know. Your photo earns the first look; your video earns the trust. In the same session, I coach you through a 30-second introduction. No script, no teleprompter.

Do I get a LinkedIn banner with my headshots?

Yes. Every Premium client gets a custom LinkedIn banner at no extra cost, designed from their own session images. Your banner is the biggest piece of real estate on your profile. Most people leave it blank. Yours will look as intentional as your headshot.
