Portrait Refresh
20 minutes · $250 · Includes 2 final retouched images
A short, guided session for when your current photo no longer feels like you.
For LinkedIn, your website, press, social, or simply a better photo of yourself. You’ll get enough direction to feel comfortable in front of the camera, without turning it into a whole production.
đź“Ť Studio located in SoMa, San Francisco.
A quick update, without the whole production
20 minutes and you're done!
This is a focused portrait session with a little more personality and creative direction than a classic headshot — while still giving you images that work beautifully for LinkedIn, your website, press, and everyday professional use.
You’ll arrive camera-ready with one look, and I’ll guide you through the rest so we can create images that feel polished, approachable, and like you.
This session is a good fit if you…
- Need an updated LinkedIn, website, or professional profile photo
- Want a few polished portraits for social, press, or a speaker bio
- Are entering a new role, launching something, or ready to retire your old photo
- Want a more personal alternative to a standard corporate headshot
- Don’t need a full portrait experience, but still want images with intention
What’s included
- 20-minute guided studio portrait session
- One look / outfit
- Light posing and direction throughout
- Online proofing gallery to choose your favorites
- 2 final retouched images
- Final delivery within one week
Additional retouched images are available for purchase at $45 each.
What “retouched” means
Once you choose your favorites, I’ll make the finishing edits for color, tone, and the overall look of each image.
I also do light retouching for things like blemishes, flyaways, clothing wrinkles, and distracting background details. I don’t alter bodies or facial features — just a more polished version of what’s already there.
How it works
1. Choose your DATE & time
Book a Portrait Refresh session through the booking link and choose the date that works best for you. I open my schedule 2 months out. If you'd like to request a specific date, contact me!
2. Come camera-ready
You’ll receive a short prep guide before your session with simple notes on what to wear and what to expect.
3. It’s shoot day
Show up, take a breath, and I’ll meet you where you are. I’ll guide you as much as you need, match your energy, and help bring out the version of you that already feels true.
4. Choose your favorites
After the shoot, we can review your images together or I can send you a link to look through at home. Your two selected images will be retouched and delivered within one week.
FAQ
What should I wear?
Bring one outfit that feels like you, photographs well, and fits the way you want to show up. You’ll receive a simple prep guide before your session. You can bring an option of a different blazer/top for a quick look change.
Is hair and makeup included?
Hair and makeup are not included with Portrait Refresh, since these are designed to be quick sessions. You’re welcome to book your own hair and makeup appointment before arriving, and I’m happy to share a list of trusted artists I've worked with before.
Can I purchase more than two photos?
Yes. You’ll receive a proofing gallery after the session, and additional final edited images can be purchased once you’ve selected your favorites. $45 each
Can I use these for LinkedIn and my website?
Yes. These are great for LinkedIn, websites, speaker bios, press, social profiles, and anywhere else you need a current photo. Your final images include personal and commercial usage rights, so you can use them to represent yourself and your work across your platforms.
