How Tethered Headshot Shooting Works

Professional Headshots Vancouver FAQ
How much do professional headshots cost in Vancouver?
A professional headshot session at HeadShot Photo costs $350 CAD for a 30-minute session at our downtown Vancouver studio. Retouched, final images are $50 each ($80 each for group photos), so you only pay for the images you keep. Group sessions start at $400, hair and makeup is an optional $250 add-on, and a two-hour personal branding session is $1,500. Across Vancouver, professional headshot sessions generally range from about $125 to $800 depending on the studio, session length and how many retouched images are included.
How long does a headshot session take?
An individual session takes 30 minutes in our studio, which is enough time for several outfit or expression changes and live review on the monitor. Plan to arrive 10 minutes early. For teams, we schedule about 20 minutes per person. Retouched images are delivered within 48 hours of you choosing your selections.
AI headshots vs professional headshots — which should I use?
AI headshots are fast and inexpensive, but they are generated from your selfies. They can subtly change your face, skin and proportions, and they often look generic or slightly off in person. A professional headshot is a real photograph of you, so it is accurate, consistent across your team, and safe to use where trust matters, such as LinkedIn, your law, medical or real estate profile, speaker bios and press kits. If you only need a throwaway avatar, AI can work. If clients, employers or casting directors need to recognize you, use a professional photographer.
