Professional Headshots for DC Metro Professionals
One directed session, portraits built for authority and presence. Sessions are held at my South Riding studio, offering headshots in Loudoun County for executives, attorneys, and business owners across Northern Virginia.
The rates, with the context they deserve.
A great headshot is not a price-shopping decision. It is an investment in how you show up. I will make your investment clear before you book, so you can move forward with confidence.
Most clients invest between $595 and $2,195, depending on the level of professional visibility they need.
The difference is shaped by session scope, the number of fully retouched images included, and whether professional makeup is part of your experience.

Your investment is tailored to your goals.
Your experience is designed around the level of professional visibility you need. Four factors shape your investment.
The scope of your session. A focused session provides the essentials. More expansive experiences allow time for wardrobe variety, additional setups, and a wider range of expressions and compositions.
The image library you need. Each experience includes a defined collection of fully retouched finished images. The more platforms and opportunities your portraits need to support, the more variety is typically valuable.
Professional makeup, when desired. Makeup artistry is available as an add-on and is included at the highest tier. It is never required, but it can provide a polished, camera-ready finish and simplify your preparation.
The level of preparation and support. Some experiences are designed for a focused professional update, while others include expanded wardrobe planning, image strategy, and a more comprehensive professional-visibility experience.
