The Virtual Headshot
$149
A professional LinkedIn headshot from the comfort of your own home.
A virtual headshot is a convenient way for you to get a professional photo without having to travel to a studio. The resolution of the final image is suitable for most uses, including ERAS, LinkedIn, and most websites.
Our photographers will guide you through the process, step by step – they'll direct you via Zoom video conferencing to make sure you have the perfect expression and look your absolute best – no matter where you are in the world.
- No special equipment is required – all you need is a smartphone.
- The shoot takes about 20 minutes and there is time for one outfit.
- We can work with you wherever you are in the world
- You don't need a professional backdrop or lighting equipment – we will digitally add a background and adjust the lighting for you after the shoot is finished
- 1 high-quality, finalized headshot photo – get it within 2-3 business days (we can also rush this to same-day for a $30 additional fee)
- We offer a 100% money-back guarantee, which you can read more about further down on this page.

Frequent Questions
Should I do a Virtual Headshot or a regular, in-person headshot?
In general, you're always going to get a better result when you shoot in a dedicated headshot studio with a trained photographer who works with high-quality equipment. The live feedback and direction you'll receive, coupled with the ability to control everything in the studio environment – these aspects all work together to ensure you walk away with an extremely high-quality photo.
That said, if you're unable to make it in-person or simply need something professional and quick, a Virtual Headshot is the next best option.
