A headshot is a tightly cropped image that focuses on the face. Headshots fill a frame from the collarbone on up or slightly lower. They may even crop the top of the head. Expression and energy are especially important in a headshot because the focus remains squarely on the face. (A portrait might show a 3/4 view, full view, or be shot from the waist up.) Modeling headshots are generally cropped vertically as 8x10s and shot from the chest or waist. Headshots are great for Social Media sites like LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram. Typically LinkedIn headshots are cropped at a 1×1 ratio (with the height and width equal length).
Headshot and portrait photography services are available at the in-house Lombard, IL studio. If you are not sure you want to book solely a headshot session, consider scheduling a headshot and portrait session. Clients who schedule any headshot or portrait session select one image for retouching and receive the following digitals with usage licensing:
- One 1024 short side (SS) optimized digital sRGB JPG licensed for social media (watermarked)
- One SS optimized digital sRGB JPG licensed for corporate websites (no watermark)
- One digital AdobeRGB JPG licensed for use at professional print houses (no watermark)
- One SS optimized cropped sRGB JPG licensed for LinkedIn (1×1) (no watermark)

No, this isn’t a blog post about one photographer being better than another or why you need to look for a photographer with specific training or portfolio. It is about understanding the different types of portrait photography, so that you can best choose a photographer. Since this is not a subject many consider, I believe it is worth mentioning.
A while back I was asked, “how do you handle reshoots?” It occurred to me the individual was possibly confusing portrait specialties. The caller was looking for a group rate for up to 40 corporate executives and other business professionals, all captured and delivered in one day. The images would be used for print and web marketing. I explained I don’t offer reshoots at no charge, because I shoot tethered and clients choose final images for retouching during photoshoots. This also means time must be allocated per person to do this. Logically, this does not work well for those looking to schedule dozens of images into a one day photoshoot…
I worked with Janice on my professional headshot. It was a great experience. As a new professional, Janice helped me navigate what I wanted to accomplish with my picture. During the shoot, Janice worked to get to know my personality and have it come out in the photos. While narrowing down the photos, Janice’s knowledge and a keen eye for shots helped me to select my favorites.
Janice is a very skilled photographer. She took the time to interview me to fully understand my goals and offered wonderful suggestions on how to capture the best professional images for my needs. The session was low key and she created an atmosphere that helped me relax. We found a good creative groove that produced some fantastic photos. Her turn around time for post processing was faster than I expected. I would highly recommend Janice to anyone seeking professional headshots.
Janice's talent and expertise is evident. What makes her so special is her attention to detail and her meticulousness, to make sure you're happy with your photos. She cares! The photos and the experience itself is beyond what I expected. Thank you Janice!
