The Headshot Playdate Experience

This ain’t yo average headshot session. Headshot Playdates come with the same guidance, intentionality, and high-touch care as a the personalized Portrait Playdate experiences I’m known for — in a streamlined format for working professionals and creative go-getters who need scroll-stopping images, fast.

They’re more like mini personal branding sessions designed to raise the bar — because, let’s be honest, the bar for headshots is low: cropped wedding photos, pixelated selfies, a ten-year-old pic that barely looks like you. Your headshots deserve better. You deserve better.

Because a headshot isn’t just a photo. It’s a first impression. And that impression can open doors … or quietly close them. Let’s get you some headshots can’t wait to use not just on LinkedIn, but anywhere your face shows up online.

  • A photo studio with two women, one on a white platform, and a backdrop of blue fabric. Studio lighting and equipment, including a large umbrella light, are visible. The room has yellow curtains, framed pictures on the wall, and various chairs and furniture.

    Quick & Personal

    Get in and out in under an hour without the anxiety of feeling rushed or rigid, but don’t be surprised if these are your best headshots yet.

  • A behind-the-scenes view of a photoshoot studio with two women, one shooting and one posing, against a cream-colored backdrop, with studio lighting, umbrellas, and photography equipment visible.

    Fun, Not Forced

    No stiff poses or fake smiles — just genuine expression, good tunes, and great lighting. You’re guided every step to relax into your radiance.

  • A woman with long brown hair wearing hoop earrings, a gray shirt, and a navy blue jacket, smiling against a dark blue background.

    Polished & Versatile

    Pick your faves and get professionally retouched images that work across platforms: LinkedIn, biz cards, bios, websites, even dating profiles.

What’s Included & How It Works

Together, we explore standing and sitting poses that bring out your most authentic, camera-ready self, and capture you in a range of compositions beyond head and shoulders to give you maximum longevity, versatility, and cropping flexibility.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s included before, during, and after your headshot session:

1) PRE-PLAYDATE

A Pinterest board showcasing photos of various women are wearing different styles of professional and casual clothing in this collage, including dresses, blouses, coats, and suits in neutral, pastel, and bright colors.

  • We’ll hop on a quick video call to talk about your goals and questions along with the process, pricing, and prep. If you wanna book, we’ll talk scheduling.

  • Not sure what to wear? I’ve got you covered with curated outfit inspo, and I’m just a text away to help you select outfits that’ll have you looking your absolute best.

  • Once you’re booked, I’ll send over some helpful do’s and don’ts along with everything else you need to know to show up to your shoot ready to shine.

2) PLAYDATE DAY

A woman in a white suit standing on a small platform in a photo studio, being directed by a female photographer with dark hair and tattoos, holding a camera. Studio lighting equipment and backdrops are also visible.

  • Two looks = more dimension. Go crisp and polished for LinkedIn and casual and expressive for that podcast interview. Mix it up to appeal to different platforms or audiences.

  • Pick two colors that work with your wardrobe and goals. Want clean and classic? Bold and bright? Tone-on-tone? I’ll help you select a combo that makes you pop.

  • We’re talkin’ soft, sculpting light that smooths, flatters, dodges glare (yep, even with glasses), and adds a little extra twinkle to your eyes. No harsh shadows or shiny foreheads here!

  • With subtle direction and plenty of encouragement, I’ll coach you through poses and expressions that radiate confidence, approachability, and polish. No need to practice in the mirror beforehand. 😉

3) POST-PLAYDATE

Screen capture of a Lightroom Classic interface showing multiple photos of a woman with blonde hair in various outfits and poses, including white and green blazers, with different backgrounds.

  • Shortly after your shoot, we’ll hop on Zoom so you can pick the shots that make you say, “OMG YES!” Got retouching preferences? We’ll talk through ’em, and I’ll take notes.

  • You’ll get 2 standout, high-res headshots ready to roll out across your profile pics, bios, and beyond. Want more? Add extras at your Selection Appointment.

  • Each of your selections is polished with love and precision. Blemish? Bye. Unruly collar? Handled. My edits are gentle, glowy, and just enough to keep the focus on you, not the flyaways.

  • Within 1 week of your Selection Appointment, we view your hot-off-the-press headshots together to ensure you’re thrilled about ‘em. Then they’re yours to download, share, and enjoy.

  • Think of it as a satisfaction safety net: if anything’s off in the edits, flag it at your Reveal Appointment or within 7 days after and I’ll make it right. No fuss, no fees.
