Professional Headshot Photography Sessions - Frequently Asked Questions
Can you come to my location?
- Yes! Your headshot session can take place either at the Deborah Heinlen Photography home studio in Hebron, Kentucky, or (for multiple individuals) I can come to your business location in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area.
Can I bring a partner or coworker?
- Yes! You can bring additional people to your session if it’s at my home studio (please contact me for options). I can also do larger groups at your location.
Can you do large group sessions?
- Yes! Group sessions can be done at your location. Elevate your team's professional image with our group headshot sessions. I understand the importance of first impressions in today's business world. That's why I offer tailored options for group sessions, ensuring each member of your team receives a high-quality, professional headshot that reflects their individuality and your brand's identity.
Where are you located?
- My studio is located in my home in Hebron, Kentucky just ten minutes away from the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport with easy access to I-275.
I don’t think I look good in photos.
- It’s completely normal to feel that way, but a great photographer’s job is to make you look your absolute best. Through professional lighting, angles, and guidance I will help you feel confident and natural and get your best picture!
It’s not in my budget.
- I understand budget constraints, but consider this: a professional headshot is a long-term investment in your personal and professional brand. It’s often the first impression people have of you, and it can open doors to new opportunities
I don’t know if this will make a difference.
- I get it. Sometimes it’s hard to connect a photo with real-world results. But a polished, professional headshot shows credibility, competence, and confidence, which can have a direct impact on how others perceive and engage with you.
I don’t have the time.
- I understand how hectic schedules can be, which is why I’ve streamlined my sessions. In just 30-60 minutes, you’ll have a set of professional photos you can use for years.
I feel awkward and uncomfortable in front of a camera.
- That’s completely normal! My goal is to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our session will be relaxed and and I will guide you with poses and expressions so you never feel unsure or awkward.
I already have a headshot.
- That’s great, but consider if your current headshot still reflects your best self or aligns with your professional brand today. Styles and standards change, and a fresh photo can make a big impact.
I’m not in my best shape or condition to get photos now.
- I totally understand. However, a professional headshot isn’t about perfection—it’s about capturing the confident, authentic you. With the right angles, lighting, and editing, we will create photos you will love.
I don’t know how to prepare or dress for a headshot session.
- No problem! I provide a prep guide in my blog with tips tailored to your profession and brand. We’ll make sure you look polished and professional.
Why pay when I can take a photo myself with my smartphone or use AI?
- While smartphones and AI are great for casual photos, they can’t replicate the quality of professional lighting, angles, and post-production. A high-quality headshot conveys professionalism that sets you apart.
