Individual Headshots in Boston
Ready for a headshot you actually like?
One-on-one, no-pressure sessions that turn “I hate photos” into a headshot you’re proud to post.
Individual Headshots That Win Careers
Most people don’t get excited about standing in front of a camera, but they know it’s crucial to have a strong personal brand. At Halide Photography, we design individual headshot sessions for professionals who want to look confident, genuine, and approachable without feeling stiff, fake, or overly posed. Our goal is for the experience to feel personal, relaxed, and straightforward from the moment you step into the studio. You’ll get clear direction, thoughtful coaching, and a calm studio environment just north of Boston so you can stop worrying about the camera and start focusing on where you want your career and personal brand to go next.
Instead of treating you like just another appointment on the calendar, we keep each session collaborative and custom-built around what you need. You’ll see your images as we shoot, we’ll refine together, and you’ll walk out knowing you have individual headshots you’re excited to use on LinkedIn, your website, resumes, and anywhere else your face appears.
Why Boston Professionals Book Us
A strong headshot is one of the fastest ways to shape how people see you. It helps hiring managers, clients, and collaborators form an impression before you ever join the call or walk into the room. The right image shows you as confident and trustworthy, while an old or awkward photo can quietly hold you back.
Professionals across Greater Boston choose us when they:
Step into a promotion, new job, or community role and want a headshot that reflects where they’re going now, not a past chapter.
Launch or refresh a personal brand or small business and need images that line up with their website and other marketing.
Work in fields like law, healthcare, consulting, real estate, finance, academia, or tech where a polished online presence is expected.
We build every session around your goals, whether you need one standout image or several variations for different platforms. Together we’ll decide what you want your headshot to communicate and design the session around that, whether that’s more authority, more approachability, a balance of both, or something entirely different.
What Your Session Includes
From the moment you arrive at our North Reading studio, we focus on making the experience simple, fun, and low-stress. The studio features purpose-built headshot lighting, multiple backdrop options, a hair and makeup station, changing room, and a comfortable lounge so you can arrive, settle in, and make decisions without feeling rushed.
Every individual headshot session includes flexible timing, with most sessions running 30 minutes to 2 hours, which gives us space for coaching, outfit changes, and dialing in expressions that achieve your goals for your session. We work through as many looks as we can reasonably fit, from more formal to relaxed, so you leave with images that work for LinkedIn, your website, company bios, speaking engagements, and personal use. Throughout the session, we guide posing and expression so you’re never left guessing what to do with your hands, where to look, or how to stand. You’ll see images live on a laptop as we go, which makes it easy to adjust in real time before we wrap. Every final image you purchase includes professional retouching focused on a natural, true-to-you look instead of heavy or artificial edits.
At the end of your session, we sit down together to review and select your favorites instead of sending a huge proofing gallery for you to sort through alone. That guided selection process helps you leave with a focused set of images that support your goals and stay within the budget you’re comfortable with.
