Why do LinkedIn headshots in Los Angeles need their own session?

The image has to survive a circular avatar mask, hold up next to a sea of phone selfies in recruiter search results, and still feel like the person who shows up to the meeting. The crop, the expression, the background contrast, and the lighting choices are slightly different from a press portrait or a personal-branding frame — directed for trust at small sizes, not just for an editorial portrait at full screen. The posing side — shoulder line, chin, and expression at avatar size — is covered in our guide to LinkedIn headshot poses and in headshot poses for women.

The quick-session format

Mini and Quick are short, focused sessions for a single LinkedIn refresh — one retouched final each and a small set of color-corrected selects to review. Standard and Signature run a little longer, include two retouched finals, and give a wider set of selects when the same images need to land on a company bio, press page, or speaker profile. Proofs land in a private gallery within a few days; retouched finals typically follow within 24–48 hours of your gallery selection. For the wider market picture, see headshot photography prices in LA.

How a session runs

Direction across every step — planning, shooting, selecting, retouching, and delivery — so you aren't guessing what to do with your hands at any point and the final files match how the images will actually be used.

  1. Plan

    Confirm look, format, and timing; share use cases so the shoot maps to real channels.

  2. Shoot

    Guided session with live direction across wardrobe changes and look adjustments.

  3. Select

    Review proofs in your private gallery and choose your retouched finals.

  4. Retouch

    Natural retouching that keeps real skin texture and recognizable features.

  5. Deliver

    Final files with unlimited usage rights across every channel you publish in.

Profile image checklist

  • Face visibility: top third of the frame, well-lit
  • Eye contact: camera, not floor
  • Background contrast: separates you from the wall
  • Wardrobe: solid color, well-fitted, no logos
  • Crop options: square avatar, vertical bio, wider editorial

For wardrobe specifics ahead of the session, see what to wear for professional headshots.

Do you need a LinkedIn headshot or a full professional session?

Upgrade if LinkedIn isn't the only place the image will live. A professional headshot session covers LinkedIn plus company bios, press, and websites with more outfits and looks. A personal branding shoot adds environmental and process frames for content, launches, and PR. For leadership with a press profile, see executive portraits. If LinkedIn is the only target and the timeline is tight, a LinkedIn package on this page is exactly what you want.

Common questions

What makes a good LinkedIn headshot?

A clean, well-lit face filling roughly the top third of the frame, eye contact, a background that contrasts your skin and wardrobe without competing, an expression that reads as confident-and-approachable, and a crop that survives LinkedIn's circular avatar mask. We direct each of those live during the shoot so the image holds up in the small avatar, in the bigger profile header, and in recruiter search results.

How fast is a LinkedIn-focused session?

LinkedIn Mini is the fastest option at 15 minutes — one clean retouched final for professionals who want a quick profile refresh. LinkedIn Quick runs 20 minutes with a little more room for direction and variation. LinkedIn Standard runs 25 minutes and adds more selects, more background options, and two retouched finals. LinkedIn Signature runs 30 minutes for the fullest LinkedIn package before stepping into the editorial line. Retouched finals typically follow within 24–48 hours of your gallery selection.

What should I wear?

Bring one or two options that fit how you actually show up at work — a clean shirt, a structured layer, or a knit in a solid color. Avoid loud patterns, brand-new clothes, and anything that needs ironing on set. LinkedIn sessions use a single outfit; bring one or two options to choose from on the day. We send a short prep note after booking and direct fit and adjustments live during the shoot.

Can I use the same image for my company bio?

Yes — every delivered file carries unlimited usage rights, so the same image runs on LinkedIn, your company's About page, conference bios, speaker profiles, and your personal site without re-licensing. We crop and deliver each retouched final at sizes that work for the square LinkedIn avatar, a vertical bio portrait, and a wider editorial layout so you don't have to ask a designer to re-crop for each channel.

How many final images will I receive?

LinkedIn Mini delivers one retouched final from 8 color-corrected selects. LinkedIn Quick delivers one retouched final from 12 selects. LinkedIn Standard delivers two retouched finals from 18 selects. LinkedIn Signature delivers two retouched finals from 25 selects. You choose the finals from the private gallery after the shoot. If you want more retouching than the package includes — for example, a separate cropped version optimized just for LinkedIn search — flag it on the form and we'll confirm scope. We don't change package data; add-ons are quoted separately.

Should I upgrade to a professional or personal branding session?

Upgrade if LinkedIn isn't the only place the image will live. A professional headshot covers LinkedIn plus company bios, press, and websites with more outfits and looks. A personal branding shoot adds environmental and process frames for content, launches, and PR. If LinkedIn is the only target and the timeline is tight, a LinkedIn package on this page is exactly what you want.
