Nashville, TN Headshots

You need a headshot. What you actually want is to not look like the other 400 profiles in your industry. We'll get the clean, professional shot in the first thirty seconds, then use the rest of your session to find the one that looks like you, not a corporate template. Same photo works for LinkedIn, your website, the speaker bio, the press kit.

Fast enough for a lunch break. Good enough to keep for years.

A studio that changes with you

The light never sits still here. We're constantly reshaping it mid-session, so you're not getting one look twenty times, you're getting twenty options in the time it takes to drink a coffee. Our LED wall can be dialed into anything: clean white for the corporate directory, deep black for the moody author photo, soft gray, textured color, or your company's exact brand palette if you send it ahead. Most Nashville headshot studios have one backdrop and one lighting setup. We have as many as you have ideas.

LinkedIn headshots

This is what we shoot most. LinkedIn is where your photo does the heaviest lifting, it's the first thing a recruiter, a client, or a stranger about to take a meeting with you actually sees. We shoot for that square crop specifically, so your face reads clearly at thumbnail size instead of getting lost in a wide frame. Clean background, real eye contact, a version that works at 400 pixels and one that holds up on your website at full size. Most people leave with a LinkedIn photo, a Slack avatar, and a bio shot from the same five minutes.

How long it takes

Minutes. Not an afternoon. Come in on a lunch break, leave with a gallery of 100+ frames in your inbox. The session itself is free, you only pay for the images you keep. A single favorite is $99, five images is $249, and $499 gets you everything from your shoot.

Headshots for conferences, teams, and events

We host conferences, corporate groups, and event headshot days in the studio. Bring your team through, run your attendees in and out in minutes each, brand the backdrop to your event. If you're planning something in Nashville or Franklin and want professional headshots as part of it, get in touch and we'll build it around your schedule.
