A LinkedIn headshot does specific work. It is the first impression on every connection request, every inbound sales pitch, every prospect researching your name before a call.

Built for LinkedIn specifically
Composed for the circle crop. Sized for everything else.
LinkedIn applies a circular crop to every profile photo. The platform's algorithm rewards profiles with clear faces, strong eye contact, and neutral high-contrast backgrounds. Every LinkedIn Headshot session is composed for that specific frame, then sized for the full set of other professional surfaces your headshot needs to work on.
- Composed for LinkedIn's circle crop.Framing leaves space around the head and shoulders so the circular crop captures the face cleanly, not a half-cut shoulder or a crop that loses the chin.
- Lit for high-contrast LinkedIn display.LinkedIn's feed displays photos small and fast. Lighting is set for clear separation between subject and background so the photo reads instantly when a prospect is scrolling, not searching.
- Sized for every other surface in the same shoot.Firm website crops, email signature, Calendly avatar, conference bio, podcast guest profile, Slack avatar. The same LinkedIn session delivers files sized for all of them.
Three sessions. One standard.
Pick the session length that matches how the photos will be used. Every session is composed for LinkedIn's circle crop and includes professional lighting, in-session image review, and coached posing.

Where these photos get used
Built for the surfaces professionals actually appear on.
01
LinkedIn profile and posts.
The first impression on every connection request, every inbound DM, every prospect researching your name before a call. Composed for LinkedIn's circle crop, lit for high-contrast feed display, and sized to read clearly when prospects are scrolling on mobile.
02
Email signature and Calendly.
Every email you send, every meeting invite, every scheduling link. The photo loads in tiny avatar size next to your name. Files delivered pre-sized for email signatures, Calendly avatars, and meeting platform identities so the same headshot works at every scale.
03
Company website and team pages.
Firm bio pages, leadership pages, and team directories where your photo runs alongside colleagues. Background and lighting matched to your company's existing team page on request, so a new headshot blends seamlessly into the existing roster.
04
Speaking, press, and podcast features.
Conference programs, panel announcements, podcast guest profiles, press features, and quoted commentary. The same session delivers files sized for high-resolution editorial use alongside the LinkedIn-optimized version.
Common questions
Everything professionals ask before booking.
How much do LinkedIn headshots cost in Austin?
LinkedIn sessions start at $225 for a 30-minute LinkedIn Headshot session, $325 for a one-hour Professional session, and $525 for a two-hour Executive Portrait session. Retouching is priced separately starting at $125 per image. Most LinkedIn buyers book the LinkedIn Headshot session, which is purpose-built for the platform and sized for every other professional surface in the same shoot.
Why is the LinkedIn Headshot session different from a regular professional headshot?
The LinkedIn Headshot session is composed specifically for LinkedIn's circle crop, lit for high-contrast display in LinkedIn's feed, and delivered with files pre-sized for LinkedIn alongside email signature, Calendly, Slack, and other professional surfaces. A generic professional headshot is composed for square or rectangular crops and rarely sized for LinkedIn's specific requirements.
What should I wear for a LinkedIn headshot?
Solid colors work best. Navy, charcoal, white, cream, deep red, and forest green all read clean on camera and translate well into LinkedIn's small-display feed. Avoid bright patterns, very thin stripes, and anything with a visible logo. Fit matters more than brand. A blazer over a solid shirt counts as two looks, so wardrobe planning is simpler than most people assume. A wardrobe guide is sent automatically when you book.
What background works best for LinkedIn?
LinkedIn's algorithm and feed display reward neutral, high-contrast backgrounds that let the subject's face read clearly when scaled small. Light gray, off-white, and soft warm tones generally outperform dark or busy backgrounds for LinkedIn specifically. The studio offers a range of background options and recommends the right one based on your wardrobe and the platforms beyond LinkedIn where the photo will appear.
How long does a LinkedIn headshot session take?
The LinkedIn Headshot session runs 30 minutes, including image review on screen during the session. The Professional session runs up to 1 hour for buyers who want multiple looks. The Executive Portrait session runs 2 hours for senior executives needing a full image library. Booking confirmation includes your exact session length and any prep needed.
How quickly will I receive my photos?
Final retouched files are delivered in two to three business days after you select your favorites. Images are reviewed on screen during the session so selections are made before you leave the studio. Rush options are available for time-sensitive bookings (new role announcement, conference deadline, press feature). Call the studio at (512) 790-8298 to discuss rush availability.
Will the photo work on platforms other than LinkedIn?
Yes. Every LinkedIn session delivers files pre-sized for LinkedIn, email signature, Calendly, Slack, Zoom, company team pages, and editorial use. The session is composed so the same image works at every scale from a small avatar to a high-resolution conference program photo. No additional sessions or upgrade fees needed.
How often should I update my LinkedIn headshot?
A strong LinkedIn headshot has a useful lifespan of three to five years. Update sooner if you have changed roles, joined a new firm, launched a new business, or your appearance has changed significantly. The cost of an outdated photo is higher than the cost of a fresh session, especially when prospects are comparing your photo to other professionals in their search results.
Do you offer same-week availability?
Yes. The studio holds open slots six days a week and most LinkedIn buyers can book within two to five days of inquiry. Reactive bookings (new role announcement, lateral move, promotion, launching a consultancy) are common and the scheduling system is built for that pattern. Call (512) 790-8298 for next available, or book online for any open slot.
