If you are updating your LinkedIn photo, refreshing a company team page, or getting ready for a conference, the first question is usually a simple one: what will it cost? We hear it a lot in Sacramento and Roseville, and we like a straight answer. This post gives you our current prices, what changes them, and what you can expect from the session to the final gallery.
The short answer on price
For one person, a professional headshot session with us is $295. That covers up to 30 minutes on location, either at your office or outdoors, an online gallery to choose from, and retouched images. If you want more retouched images than the package includes, each extra retouched image is $95.
For a small team, our team day at your office starts at $995 for up to 5 people. That price includes 2 retouched images per person. For larger teams, the rate is $149 per person for 6 or more people, and $129 per person for 10 or more people. Those larger team rates also include 2 retouched images per person.
We bring the backdrop and lighting to you, so your team does not have to travel to a studio or lose a whole day to separate appointments. Most people are in front of the camera for about 10 minutes, which keeps the day moving and keeps the look consistent from person to person.
What affects the price
Three things usually change the final number. The first is travel. A session in central Sacramento or Roseville is straightforward. A location further out can add travel time, and we will tell you that before you book, not after.
The second is how many retouched images you need. Two retouched images per person works well for most teams, because one can go on the website and one can be kept for LinkedIn, a press kit, or a conference program. If someone needs a third or fourth look, or a different crop for a specific use, that is where the $95 per extra retouched image comes in. It is easier to plan for that at the start than to add it later.
The third is a group photo. Many offices ask for one photo of the whole team together while we are already set up. That takes extra time to arrange and light well, especially for a larger group, so it can change the quote. Tell us in advance if you want one, and we will build it into the plan for the day.
What you get
You get a session that is built around real workplaces, not a studio backdrop that looks the same for everyone. We talk through clothing and background choices before the day, so people arrive knowing what to wear and what to expect. During the session, we guide posing in a calm, direct way. Most people tell us they were nervous at the start and relaxed after the first few frames, which is exactly how it should feel.
After the session, you get an online gallery. Each person picks their favorites, and we retouch the selections. Retouching here means careful, natural work: skin is cleaned up, stray hairs are handled, and color and light are balanced. We do not change how someone looks. The goal is a photo that looks like you on a good day, in good light, wearing clothes you would actually wear to work.
We also think about where the photo will live. A headshot for a law firm website, a tech company team page, and a speaker bio do not all need the same crop or feel. If you tell us the main use, we will keep that in mind when we shoot and when we retouch.
Turnaround and how to book
Your gallery is ready within 5 business days. That timing matters when a new hire starts on Monday, a website launches on Friday, or a conference program has a print deadline. If you have a firm deadline, tell us when you first get in touch and we will confirm whether we can meet it before you commit.
To book, send us your team size and location, and let us know if you want an individual session or a team day. For teams, a headcount helps us plan the schedule, because we allow about 10 minutes per person and build in time to set up the backdrop and lighting. For individuals, a 30 minute session gives us time for a few looks and a relaxed pace, without rushing.
If you are comparing photographers in Sacramento, ask what is included in the price, how many retouched images you receive, and how long delivery takes. Those three answers will tell you more than a single headline price. Our prices are listed here so you can plan with confidence, and we are glad to answer questions before you book.
