Before & After
say goodbye to boring, badly-lit images
Let's face it - headshots are portraits with a JOB to do. They're not a 'nice-to-have' in a world where our first impressions happen almost exclusively online - they're an essential business tool. Living in the digital economy requires headshots that make you feel empowered and get you noticed.
MY APPROACH to headshots
I don't do 'quickie' 20-minute headshots and here's why. Unless you're a seasoned model, it takes most people a little bit of time to warm up to the camera. I will guide you in posing so you can relax into it. We'll laugh. We'll joke around. And at the end I'll have captured a true expression of you at your best. It's worth a few extra minutes to get there. I promise.
PRICING
Headshot sessions start at $550 plus tax.
This includes my expertise in lighting and posing, studio time, 2 outfits and a private gallery of images to choose from.
4 final images, professionally retouched
Crops of different sizes, commercially licensed for business use
I will help you every step of the way so you don't need to worry about what to wear, how to stand, or what to do with your hands!

What does a headshot or brand session with kelly anderson cost?
Headshot sessions start at $550 plus tax, which includes up to 2 outfits and 4 final images, professionally retouched, commercially licensed for business use.
Brand photography sessions start at $1,950 and are designed as fully personalized, on-location experiences built around your specific goals.
Your headshot and brand images are making a first impression before anyone reads a single word — and research shows that impression forms in just 50 milliseconds. For women entrepreneurs, coaches, and creatives, professional brand photography closes the gap between how good you actually are and how you show up online — giving you a strategic library of images that builds instant trust, attracts the right clients, and fuels 6–9 months of content from a single session. The difference between a professional image and a snapshot isn't just quality — it's how the image makes you and your audience feel. Kelly's sessions are designed to deliver both: images that look exceptional and feel completely, unmistakably you.
What should I wear to a brand or headshot photo shoot?
Wear what makes you feel like the most confident, polished version of yourself — in solid colors or simple patterns that complement your skin tone and align with your brand palette, and clothes that fit well right now, today. Plan for 2–3 outfit changes: the variety gives your gallery the range you need to show up differently across your website, social media, and press without every image looking like it came from the same afternoon. Avoid busy prints, large logos, and anything uncomfortable — it shows on your face. Once you book, you'll receive Kelly's detailed style and prep guide, and you're welcome to send mirror selfies for personalized feedback before your shoot day so you arrive feeling ready and confident. Still unsure? Bring three options you love and Kelly will help you choose on the day.
