Headshot Photography FAQ – Oahu & Honolulu
How much do professional headshots cost in Honolulu?
Professional headshot pricing in Honolulu varies depending on session length, number of final images, and whether the shoot is done in studio or on location. I offer clear, upfront pricing for individual and corporate headshots on Oahu, with options for quick sessions or more in-depth branding portraits. Check here for current rates.
What should I wear for a professional headshot?
Solid colors, simple layers, and clean lines photograph best. Avoid busy patterns, logos, or anything too distracting. Neutral tones, blues, earth tones, and darker shades work especially well for LinkedIn and corporate headshots. I’m happy to offer guidance before your session so your outfit fits the look you’re going for.
Do you offer LinkedIn headshots on Oahu?
Yes. I regularly photograph LinkedIn headshots in Oahu for professionals, entrepreneurs, and job seekers. These sessions are designed to be clean, approachable, and professional, with final images sized perfectly for LinkedIn and other professional platforms.
Where do headshot sessions take place?
Headshot sessions can take place in studio, client offices for mobile setups, or on location anywhere on Oahu. Many clients choose studio headshots in Honolulu for a polished look, while others prefer outdoor or office-based sessions for a more relaxed, lifestyle feel. We’ll choose a location based on how you plan to use the photos.
How long does a headshot session take?
Most individual headshot sessions last between 20 and 45 minutes. Corporate team sessions may take longer depending on the number of people. My process is efficient but never rushed, allowing time to get comfortable and create natural expressions.
Are retouched headshots included?
Yes. Professional retouching is included with every headshot session. Retouching is kept natural and subtle, focusing on skin tone, color balance, and minor distractions while still preserving a realistic, professional look.
How long does it take to receive my headshots?
After our section I will send you a link to your proof gallery. From there, you can select your final images you would like me to edit and retouch. Final headshots are typically delivered within a few days after you make your selection. Fast turnaround options are also available for clients who need same day or next day headshots in Honolulu.
Do you photograph corporate and team headshots?
Absolutely. I work with companies across Oahu to photograph corporate headshots in Honolulu, including executive portraits, staff photos, and consistent team headshots. On-site sessions are available for offices, conferences, and business events.
Can you help if I’m uncomfortable in front of the camera?
Yes, and most clients feel that way at first. My approach is calm, guided, and no pressure. I’ll walk you through posing, expression, and small adjustments so you don’t have to guess what to do. The goal is to make the session feel easy and natural.
What’s the best place to get headshots in Honolulu?
The best place depends on the look you want. Studio headshots are ideal for clean, professional branding, while outdoor locations in Honolulu and Waikiki can add a natural, modern feel. I’ll help you choose the best option based on your goals.
