Professional Headshot FAQs

Written By Emmanuel Fuentes

1. Why should I pay for a professional headshot?

One‑sentence answer: A professional headshot builds instant trust and can increase profile views by up to 7×.

Longer take: DIY photos often suffer from bad lighting or distractions. A pro uses flattering light, direction, and retouching, making you look confident and approachable—key factors in recruiter and client clicks.

2. How much does a headshot cost?

Quick answer: Packages run $100 to $500 at Fuentes Studio.

Details: • LinkedIn Express (15 min, 1 edit) $100 • Professional Standard (45 min, 8 edits) $250 • Branding Premium (90 min, 20 edits) $500. See full pricing.

3. What should I wear?

Snippet: Solid, mid‑tone colors—no busy patterns.

Choose navy, charcoal, or jewel tones. Avoid tiny stripes (moire) and big logos. Bring a backup blazer or top if you booked a change‑of‑outfit package.

4. How long is the session?

  • LinkedIn Express: 15 min

  • Professional Standard: 45 min

  • Branding Premium: 90 min (on location)

We allocate extra buffer for setup and quick image review.
