A professional headshot is an actual photograph of you. An AI-generated headshot takes photos you upload and runs them through a generative model that reconstructs your face. It's a synthetic, computer-generated image, smoothing features, inventing lighting, and creating a background that never existed. People can tell the difference. Your headshot is your first impression, you should show up for it.

Wear whatever represents your best professional self. A few things that photograph well: layers and anything in your brand colors. A few things to think twice about: sleeveless tops unless you specifically want to show off your arms, anything too casual, and anything you would not wear to an important meeting. The goal is to look like the best version of yourself.

Anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour depending on how many looks you need and how many outfit changes you bring. Most of our headshot clients are in and out in 30 minutes or less. We make it easy and efficient because we know you have somewhere to be.

Every five years at minimum, or sooner if your look changes significantly, think a dramatic hair cut or color change, weight change, or a major career shift where your old headshot no longer represents who you are professionally. If you're wondering whether it is time for a new one, it probably is.
