The full package comparison shows inclusions side by side. A starting price does not describe every format, and a per-person rate should not be compared directly with a fixed group total.
Compare LinkedIn and individual professional scope
LinkedIn Quick is $399 for a 30-minute studio session, one outfit, one background, two premium retouched headshots and fifteen color-corrected selects. Standard is $549 for one hour, up to two outfits and backgrounds, four retouched finals and thirty selects. Plus is $899 for two hours, up to four outfits, up to three background setups, eight retouched finals and fifty selects, in studio or on location.
The individual Professional Headshot Quick package is $399 for 30 minutes, one outfit, two premium retouched headshots and 15 color-corrected selects. Standard is $549 for one hour with four finals; Plus is $899 for two hours with eight. Plus allows studio or on-location work and more setup variation.
The current LinkedIn and individual professional options share the same prices and session scopes. Choose your intended use first, then decide how much time and image variety you need.
Understand acting looks and retouched images
Actor Refresh is $399 for 30 minutes, one look and two naturally retouched images. Actor Session is $549 for 60 minutes, two looks and four finals. Actor Portfolio is $749 for 90 minutes, three looks and six finals.
A look is a planned wardrobe and visual direction; it can include expression and framing variations. Appointment time includes changes. Hair and makeup are not included. Check the actor package details if the brief requires extras or more preparation.
Choose the number of missing looks you need, not the maximum just because it is available. A focused refresh may solve the problem if your other current headshots already work.
Distinguish selects from individually retouched finals
A private selection gallery lets you review photographs. Color-corrected selects and premium retouched finals are different deliverables. The number of gallery frames is not automatically the number of individually retouched images included.
Likewise, a high-resolution file and a web export of the same photograph are two versions of one image. Ask which files are delivered, whether extra finals can be purchased and how long gallery access lasts. Confirm the selection and delivery timetable for your format rather than applying one service’s terms to every package.
Calculate team costs using the actual attendance
Small Team is $1,449 for up to five people and up to two hours. At five participants, dividing that total gives $289.80 per person. Team Standard is $1,889 for up to ten people and up to three hours: $188.90 per person when all ten attend.
Those are arithmetic examples, not separately bookable individual rates. Fewer attendees do not automatically reduce a fixed package price. Team Extended covers up to 25 for $2,499; Day Rate covers up to 100 for $4,490. The listed team deliverables include one premium retouched headshot and ten color-corrected selects per person.
Enterprise programs have separate staffing and coordination structures. A similar maximum headcount does not make an enterprise program and a team day interchangeable. For scheduling, use the corporate headshot planning guide.
Planning example: choosing a founder’s photography budget
Planning example, not a client case. A founder needs a current LinkedIn avatar now and a broader website library later.
The immediate brief is one recognizable profile image. A LinkedIn package can be compared against that requirement without adding website production prematurely. The later brief includes close portraits, wider frames and several website placements, so branding scope is evaluated separately. Essentials branding is $1,490 with 15 retouched finals; larger packages provide different coverage.
Separating the two jobs makes the budget understandable. It does not claim a particular package will generate customers, publicity or investment.
Copy a package comparison worksheet
Use one line for each package you are considering. Copy the actual inclusions from the package catalog, then list additional needs separately.
| Compare | Write down |
|---|---|
| Package fee | Fixed total or per-person rate; required participant threshold |
| Capture scope | People, session allowance, looks and backgrounds |
| Finished images | Retouched finals and color-corrected selects, separately |
| Additional brief | Extra locations, photographs or file versions to confirm |
| Selection and delivery | Who chooses; agreed timing and handoff |
For a team, use the people actually attending when calculating an illustrative per-person share. Keep that arithmetic separate from the bookable fee. A higher number of gallery frames is not evidence that every frame receives individual retouching.
Questions to settle before requesting a quote
How much does one LinkedIn headshot cost?
LinkedIn Quick is $399 with two premium retouched headshots and the listed session scope. The fee covers producing the photograph, not merely downloading an existing file. Larger packages offer different time and image allowances.
Are expensive headshots worth it?
A higher price is useful when it buys coverage, direction, final images or coordination you actually need. It cannot guarantee a job, audition or business result. Compare relevant photographs and complete inclusions, not price alone.
What makes a quote different from the package headline?
Additional people, looks, finals, locations or production requirements can change the scope. State them before confirmation. Ask which extras are included and which require a separate agreement.
Does sending an inquiry reserve an appointment?
No. An inquiry starts the conversation about scope and availability. Send the session type, headcount, desired looks, intended image uses and deadline so the package and practical terms can be confirmed together.
For a larger image library, the branding versus headshot guide helps define scope before you request package details.
