Anyone with a business or professional online presence benefits from a professional headshot. This includes executives, attorneys, physicians, real estate agents, financial advisors, consultants, entrepreneurs, and professionals across every industry. Headshots are also used for LinkedIn profiles, speaker pages, press kits, and dating profile photos.

Think about where your headshot will be used and what your industry expects. Choose outfits based on how you present to clients. Get a full night of rest beforehand and stay hydrated. Arrive with your outfits pressed and wrinkle-free. We send a wardrobe guide before your session to help you prepare.

Solid colors photograph best. Avoid busy patterns, logos, and bright colors like red or yellow. Clothing should match how you present professionally in your industry. Avoid large or distracting jewelry. If you are unsure, bring a few options and we will choose together before the session starts.

A natural, genuine smile is appropriate for most industries and communicates approachability. We guide expression during the session based on your industry and how the image will be used. Some industries call for a more composed expression. We cover this during the session.

Yes. We can arrange a makeup artist and hairstylist at an additional cost, or you can arrive with styling done. Clients who invest in professional styling consistently produce stronger results.

This is the most common concern we hear before a session, and it almost never reflects the outcome. Every session is guided from start to finish. Posing, expression, body language, and timing are all directed. Most clients are surprised by how manageable the process is and how different the results look from photos they have had taken before.

You do not need to figure this out on your own. Posing and expression are directed throughout the entire session. We cover what works for your industry and the context where your image will be used. Your job is to show up. Direction is included.

Most sessions run 30 to 60 minutes. If we have what we need in 30 minutes, we wrap. If more time is needed, we take it. Session length depends on the number of outfits and how quickly we find the right expression.

Yes. We review images together at the start of the session so you can see what is being captured and feel confident in the direction before we continue.

Two to three outfits are standard. Make sure everything is pressed and ready before you arrive. If you are unsure which to bring, we can choose together at the start of the session.

Standard delivery is within 48 hours. All purchased images are individually retouched before delivery. Rush 24-hour delivery is available at an additional fee.

Through a private online gallery. You select your preferred images and they are delivered as digital downloads in multiple export formats ready for immediate professional use.

Retouching is applied to every image purchased. Standard retouching includes skin smoothing while preserving natural texture, blemish removal, under-eye correction, eye clarity, flyaway hair removal, clothing de-wrinkling, and light body contouring. The goal is professional and natural. The final image should look like the best version of the person photographed, not an altered version.

No. The goal of retouching is to enhance while looking realistic. Skin texture is preserved, adjustments are calibrated to look natural, and the final images are ready for professional use. Overly processed results are not the standard here.

A studio session is photographed indoors in a controlled environment. Lighting is fully managed and there are no outdoor variables. An on-location session is photographed at your office, outdoors, or a location of your choice. We bring a mobile lighting setup so the final images are professionally lit regardless of setting. Both produce polished results. The right choice depends on your brand and how the image will be used.

Yes. Our studio is located just of the 405 freeway in Fountain Valley, CA. Studio time is pre-arranged for individual sessions. Contact us or book online to reserve your date.

No. Christopher Todd Studios is a full-service photography studio. In addition to individual headshots, we offer group and team headshots, corporate event photography, branding photography, and select personal services, including family portraits.
