One of the best ways for a professional to make an impact in their field is with high-quality headshots. Whether you are just starting out or looking to boost your career, professional headshots can help you reach your goals and make the connections you need to get ahead in your industry.

If you are interested in investing in headshots from a professional photographer, you might be wondering how much those images are going to cost. When choosing a headshot photographer, it’s important to understand exactly what you are getting for your money and the value of having professional, high-quality images to promote yourself.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO PAY FOR MY HEADSHOTS?

A headshot session and images will vary depending on your location and the photographer. While some photographers offer headshots for less than $100, others charge more than $1,000. It may be tempting to just choose the cheapest option, it is essential to consider what that price includes and what you want from your session.

The basic rates for headshots with Stories Framed Photography are listed right here. I’m happy to answer any other questions, including providing quotes for group rates.

However, as I said, it’s more than the monetary cost, the value is in what you want - and what you GET - from your session.

All my headshot clients experience their headshot as an EVENT. I help them prepare for the session - what to wear, where to go, how to pose and even what style best suits their business. My clients are partners in the creation of their images, not just “subjects” in front of the camera. Their needs are the center focus. Every SINGLE client may walk in a little unsure, but they leave 110% satisfied, knowing that a set of fantastic headshot images are headed their way.

ARE HEADSHOTS WORTH THE MONEY?

When you invest in professional headshots, you’re investing in your image and your career. Whether you’re a business owner, employee or a CEO, how you present yourself makes a huge impact on whether people want to work with you.

You’ve probably heard that phrase about working with people you know, like and trust. Well, it’s true! And having a consistent, professional images on your website, social media profiles and marketing materials lets potential clients and partners know that you are trustworthy, professional and willing to work hard to meet their needs.

Can a single photo really say all that? You bet! Pictures are often the first impression people will have of you. Plus, when they can put a face to your name, they will be more likely to reach out and work with you.

So the better question to ask yourself is if it’s worth it NOT to get a professional headshot. Are you willing to risk losing out on a project or partnership just to “save” the money you would have spent on headshots?

WHY ARE PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS SO “EXPENSIVE”?

When you hire a professional photographer, you’re not just hiring someone to snap a few photos and hand you a flash drive. You are hiring someone who has the training, skill and equipment necessary to create high-quality images. That includes skills in composition, lighting and using the equipment that they’ve invested in.

A professional also has the editing expertise and software necessary to make your images look amazing. Photography is so much more than just clicking a button—it’s an art form that requires extensive study and experience.

I work hard to learn my craft, attending conferences, workshops and classes. Additionally, I studied and practiced extensively in order to earn an official designation from Professional Photographers of America.

If you want to invest in your career, you MUST HAVE a headshot session with a professional photographer. You will have images that you can use in every aspect of your business - from guest posts and articles on other websites and publications to your own marketing materials, website and social media profiles.

You’ll be surprised just how much of a positive impact your professional headshots can have on your career!
