Simple process

How do business headshots work at HQ Portraits?

Choose, book, click, and select. The focused setup keeps the appointment fast without giving up professional lighting or a finished retouch.

Choose the right format

Pick the monthly $39 event, a flexible $59 headshot, or the broader $89 Express Portrait experience.

Book an open time

Headshot Day releases nearby times as the event fills. Professional Headshot and Express use the normal studio calendar.

Use the mirror and clicker

Professional lighting is ready. You can see the frame, adjust your expression, and take the photo without a photographer watching.

Choose your final

Review the gallery, select the image you want finished, and receive the professionally retouched file within 24 hours.

What should you wear for a business headshot?

Wear what you would choose for the meeting, interview, listing presentation, or client call that matters most. Solid colors and simple layers keep attention on your face. A jacket can add structure, while an open collar or clean knit can feel more approachable.

Bring your outfit ready to photograph. Headshot appointments are intentionally short and include one look. If you want clothing changes, full-body poses, or a wider personal-brand library, book Express or Signature instead.

Questions

Business headshot details

What is the difference between Headshot Day and a Professional Headshot?

Headshot Day is the $39 monthly event option with limited wave-based times and a required portfolio release. The $59 Professional Headshot can be booked on any normally available studio day and does not depend on the monthly event schedule. Both include one professionally retouched image.

Is a photographer in the room?

No. HQ Portraits is Charlotte’s private self-portrait studio. You see the camera view in the mirror, use the wireless clicker, and choose your expression without someone standing behind the camera.

Can I use the image on LinkedIn and my business website?

Yes. The included image is prepared for LinkedIn, résumés, company profiles, personal-brand websites, and normal business marketing use. Contact the studio before booking if an employer, agency, paid advertising campaign, or third party needs expanded licensing.

Why are some Headshot Day times locked?

HQ Portraits opens nearby times as spots fill so appointments stay grouped together. This keeps the monthly event efficient while still adding more choices as demand grows. Locked times cannot be selected until the system opens them.

When is my edited headshot ready?

Your instant gallery lets you review your session after the visit. Your selected final image is professionally retouched and prepared for delivery within 24 hours.

Should I choose Express instead?

Choose the $89 Express Portrait when you want full-body poses, lifestyle images, social content, or several finished favorites. Choose a headshot product when the goal is one focused professional image.
