Expert On-site Headshot Photography
in Delaware, Philadelphia, & South Jersey

A headshot isn’t just a photo of your face. It’s your first impression, your introduction, your online handshake. Before someone meets you, they’re already forming an opinion based on that small square image next to your name.

A great headshot says, “This is me. I’m confident. I’m approachable. I’m ready to connect.” It helps people recognize you instantly and remember you for the right reasons. That’s powerful.

Your headshot does more than show what you look like. It tells your story at a glance. It communicates professionalism, trust, and personality. Whether you’re updating LinkedIn, your company bio, or a conference website, your photo can set the tone for every first impression that follows.

When your image reflects who you truly are, people notice. And they respond.

A headshot event brings the studio experience straight to your workplace. I set up lighting, backdrop, and everything needed for professional results right in your office. Team members drop by for quick individual sessions, and before you know it, your entire organization has consistent, polished images that actually look good together.

It’s efficient, it’s collaborative, and it’s a surprisingly fun way to refresh your team’s professional presence.

Absolutely.

Think about it—your headshot often appears before your résumé, your website, even your first conversation. A professional session gives you control over that first impression. It’s not about vanity; it’s about communicating credibility and confidence.

You’re not just investing in a picture. You’re investing in how people see and remember you.

If you’ve been researching headshots in the Philadelphia or Wilmington area, you’ve probably noticed prices are all over the place. And you’re right—there’s a wide range. But once you understand how photographers structure their sessions, the numbers start to make sense.

Most photographers charge a session fee, which covers the time spent in the studio, lighting setup, posing direction, and image capture. It doesn’t always include final edited images. In this region, studio session fees typically range from $200 to $400 for a 30–60 minute shoot.

For final images, fees range from $100 to $425 per retouched image.

So what do most people actually spend?

• A basic session with one final, retouched image usually lands between $300 and $825.

• A professional session with 3–6 finished images is typically $500 to $2950.

If that feels like a big range, that’s because you’re not just comparing photos. You’re comparing experience, expertise, and the kind of collaboration that helps you look like yourself—confident, natural, and ready for whatever’s next.

Yes, if it feels natural to you!

A genuine smile conveys warmth and approachability, while a more neutral expression can project focus and authority. During a session, I usually capture both. The goal isn’t to force an expression but to reveal the one that feels most authentic.

You don’t need to “say cheese.” You just need to be yourself.

Your clothing should support your image, not steal the spotlight.

Solid, medium tones photograph beautifully—think blues, greens, and grays. Jewel tones are flattering on almost everyone. Avoid bright white (unless layered), neon colors, and busy patterns that distract from your face.

Choose colors that highlight your eyes or skin tone and reflect how you naturally present yourself in professional settings. When in doubt, simple is always strong.

A professional headshot is usually framed from mid-chest up with flattering lighting and a natural expression. The background might be soft and neutral or customized to your company brand. The goal is a photo that feels effortless—clean, modern, and unmistakably you.

Behind that simplicity is a lot of thought. Lighting direction, posture, subtle expression cues. It all comes together to create an image that feels real and confident, not staged.

No, and that’s a good thing.

AI can generate an image, but it can’t capture you. It can’t coax out a natural smile, put you at ease, or catch that spark in your eyes when you’re genuinely confident.

A great headshot is built on connection. That’s something only a human can do—with real light, real conversation, and a camera that sees the best in you.
