Questions
Professional headshot details
Is this a traditional headshot photoshoot?
No. HQ Headshots is a streamlined professional headshot system. The room is set up for professional lighting and a clean frame, then you use the mirror and clicker to capture the image without a photographer watching you pose.
How long does a professional headshot take?
The flexible Professional Headshot appointment is 15 minutes. Headshot Day is usually 10 minutes. The goal is a focused professional result, not a long creative photoshoot.
Do I need to know how to pose?
No. The experience is guided. You receive preparation notes before your appointment and simple direction during the session so you can move through proven professional looks without guessing.
When will I receive my headshot?
Your gallery is available quickly after the session, and the selected retouched final is prepared within 24 hours.
Can I use this for LinkedIn, my company website, or MLS?
Yes. HQ Headshots are designed for LinkedIn, company websites, email signatures, recruiting platforms, speaker bios, MLS profiles, and normal business profile use.
What should I wear for a professional headshot?
Wear what you would choose for the meeting, interview, client call, or profile photo that matters most. Simple layers, solid colors, and clean necklines usually photograph best.
Stop using an outdated photo.

Headshots for the places your image actually appears
LinkedIn headshots in Charlotte
A LinkedIn headshot has to do one job quickly: make you look current, credible, and easy to recognize. HQ Headshots gives Charlotte professionals a focused way to update that image without booking a long photoshoot. Choose Headshot Day from $39 or a flexible Professional Headshot appointment when you need a specific date.
Realtor headshots
Real estate professionals use the same image across MLS profiles, Zillow, Realtor.com, signs, email signatures, listing presentations, and social platforms. A clean, current headshot helps buyers and sellers recognize you before the first conversation. Agents who need a broader branding library can also compare the dedicated real estate headshots page.
Corporate headshots
Company profile photos work best when the lighting, crop, and expression feel consistent from person to person. HQ Headshots is useful for founders, small teams, and growing companies that need professional images without turning a normal workday into a production.
Executive headshots
Executive headshots should feel confident without looking theatrical. The guided process is built for leaders, consultants, attorneys, speakers, recruiters, and independent professionals who need a polished public image for bios, decks, press, and client-facing pages.
