What to Expect During Your Session

Diana, your headshot photographer, will guide you through a quick, easy headshot session tailored to your photo needs and preferences, including choices about setting and retouching.

Before Your Headshot Session

Game Plan

Before your session, we’ll talk briefly about how you plan to use your images and what kind of presence you want to communicate. I’ll offer simple guidance on clothing and preparation so you feel confident and ready.

During Your Session

Having Fun

During the session, I’ll guide you through poses and expressions while keeping the pace efficient and relaxed. My goal is to make the process feel comfortable, even if being in front of the camera is not your favorite thing in the world.

After The Session

Getting Your Files

After the session, you’ll either select your image during your appointment or receive an online gallery, depending on the length of your session. Retouching your professional headshots is optional, depending on your preferences for a more natural or more polished final image.

It's time for a new set of great professional photos.

I'm so happy with the photographs she made.


I loved working with Diana to have some headshots and a portrait made for my business and social media profiles. I was nervous to be in front of the camera, but Diana's experience, kindness and generosity of spirit put me at ease. She offered lots of ideas for poses, both for portraits and behind-the-scenes style photos. I highly recommend her for your portrait and headshot photos!

How to Prepare for Your Headshot Session


Headshot prep can be simple. These guidelines help you arrive ready, look like yourself, and get great images for your professional goals.

What to Wear for Your Business Headshot

Solid colors and simple layers photograph best and keep the focus on your face. Clothing that fits well and reflects how you show up professionally creates the most timeless result. Avoid busy patterns or distracting graphics that pull attention away from your face.


If your session allows, bring one or two outfit options. A blazer, jacket, or sweater can add variety without changing your overall look. Apparel with your company logo may be appropriate if you're joining a new team.

Personal Grooming

A natural, well-groomed appearance photographs best.


Style your hair in a way that feels like “you” on a good workday. Makeup (if any) can be light and clean, with an emphasis on even skin tone.


Avoid scheduling new haircuts, cosmetic treatments, or heavy sun exposure immediately before your session.


A comb, lip balm, and blotting tissues may be helpful to have on hand.

A Headshot Session That Feels Natural

Rest well, hydrate, and arrive a few minutes early so you can settle in.


Once we begin, I’ll guide you through subtle adjustments that bring out a natural, professional presence. I'll show the photos on the camera, and we can make small tweaks if needed to ensure you will walk away with photos you like.

What about retouching?

Retouching options are an optional add-on. We will discuss them during the session, and you may choose them based on your headshot use.

Some clients prefer a very natural look, while others request light polishing. Nothing is assumed.

Where does the session take place?

 Studio headshot sessions are available in my Asheville studio at 157 S Lexington Ave, Suite B1. Headshot sessions are also available on location, either in a natural setting, an office, or an urban setting depending on your photo needs.

When will I receive my photos?

 Turnaround time depends on the session type, selections made, and extent of retouches requested, and it could be on the spot or at the latest 7 business days later. All timelines will be clearly communicated so you know what to expect.
