Modern Headshots & Personal Branding Photography for Professionals
Your Professional Image Matters
In today's digital world, your headshot is often the first impression you make. Whether it's LinkedIn, your website, business cards, or marketing materials - a professional headshot shows you're serious about your business.
As Chillicothe's professional headshot photographer, I create modern, polished headshots that help you stand out. No awkward mall studio photos - these are contemporary portraits that reflect who you are as a professional while looking approachable and confident.
Who Needs Professional Headshots?
Real Estate Agents
Your headshot is on every listing, business card, and billboard. Stand out with a professional image that builds trust with potential clients. Many Chillicothe realtors trust Aqua Blue Studio for their branding.
Business Professionals
LinkedIn, company website, email signature - your professional presence needs a great headshot. Lawyers, accountants, financial advisors, consultants - you all need current, professional photos.
Entrepreneurs & Small Business Owners
Building your brand? Your face is your brand! Headshots for your website, social media, and marketing materials help potential customers connect with you personally.

When clients never meet you in person, your headshot is even more important! Show you're a legitimate, professional business person they can trust.

What to Wear for Professional Headshots
✓ DO Wear:
- Solid colors in jewel tones (navy, burgundy, forest green) or neutrals
- Well-fitting clothes that make you feel confident and professional
- What you'd wear to an important meeting - not too casual, not too formal
- Simple jewelry - nothing distracting or loud
- Professional but comfortable - you'll look relaxed if you feel relaxed
- Collar for men - button-down or polo shirt works great
- Layers - blazers, cardigans add polish
✗ DON'T Wear:
- Busy patterns - stripes, plaids, and busy prints are distracting
- Bright white - can be too harsh; cream or light colors work better
- Sleeveless tops - short sleeves or 3/4 sleeves look more professional
- Logos or graphics - keep it clean and professional
- Trendy styles that will date your photos quickly
- Brand new clothes you haven't worn before (might not feel comfortable)
- Wrinkled or ill-fitting clothing
Pro Tip
Bring 2-3 outfit options! We'll do different looks so you have variety for different professional uses. One more formal, one slightly more casual, and maybe one that shows your personal brand or industry.

Inquire About Team PackagesWhy Update Your Professional Headshot?
Your Current Photo is Outdated
If your headshot is more than 2-3 years old, it's time for an update! You want people to recognize you when they meet you in person. Plus, hairstyles, fashion, and photo quality trends change.
You're Starting or Growing Your Business
New business? Growing your brand? Professional headshots are an investment in your business identity. They show you're established and take your work seriously.
You Have Multiple LinkedIn Requests
Active on LinkedIn? Your profile photo is the first thing people see. A professional headshot increases profile views and connection acceptance rates - it's proven!
Your Headshot Doesn't Represent You
Maybe you have a photo but you don't love it, or it doesn't reflect your current professional image. Your headshot should make you feel confident and accurately represent who you are as a professional.
Headshot Photography FAQs
How long does a headshot session take?
Most headshot sessions are 30-45 minutes. That's enough time for multiple outfits and backgrounds without taking too much time out of your workday. Branding sessions are longer (90 minutes).
Can you come to my office?
Yes! I can photograph at your office location for an additional travel fee (within Chillicothe area). This is especially convenient for team headshot sessions.
Will you retouch my photos?
Yes! All headshots include professional retouching - smoothing skin, removing blemishes, adjusting lighting and color. You'll still look like you, just the most polished version. Natural retouching, not overdone.
How fast will I get my photos?
Your gallery is typically ready within 3-5 business days. Need them faster? Let me know - rush services are available for an additional fee.
What size/format will my files be?
You'll receive high-resolution files suitable for any use, plus web-optimized versions perfect for LinkedIn, websites, and social media. Everything you need in the formats you need!
What should I wear for my headshot?
Wear what you'd typically wear in your professional setting. For corporate professionals, that's usually a suit, blazer, or business casual. Solid colors work best - avoid busy patterns. Bring 2-3 outfit options! I'll help you choose what looks best on camera during the session.
Do I need makeup or hair styling?
Professional hair and makeup isn't required but can boost confidence! For women, I recommend slightly more makeup than usual since studio lighting can wash you out. Men should ensure they're freshly groomed. I can recommend local makeup artists if you'd like professional help.
Can I get different backgrounds?
Absolutely! Your session includes multiple background options - white, gray, black, and colored backdrops. I can also do outdoor/environmental shots if you prefer a more relaxed, lifestyle feel. We'll discuss your needs before the session.
How many final images will I receive?
The Classic package includes 3 fully edited images, Professional includes 5, and Premium includes 8+ images. These are your favorites selected from all the shots we take. You'll see proofs of all the good shots and choose which ones to have fully retouched.
I'm camera shy - will this be awkward?
Most people are! That's why I provide coaching throughout your session. I'll guide your posing, adjust your angles, and help you relax. Many clients tell me they actually had fun once we got started. Remember - I photograph people all day, every day. You're in good hands!
