Let me ask you something.
When is the last time you updated your headshot?
If you are squinting at a photo taken at a company event three years ago or using a cropped vacation pic as your LinkedIn photo (or - gasp - a bathroom selfie) , it is time. As a headshot photographer in Frisco T x I hear it all the time: people know they need updated photos but have no idea where to start or what they actually need. So let me make this easy for you!
The short answer: it depends on what you are using them for. Let me walk you through your options so you can pick what makes sense for you and your budget.
Just Need One Good Photo?
The 5 Minute Mini Headshot in Frisco TX
This one is for the person who says "I just need something for LinkedIn. I do not need a whole production." I hear you and I have got you covered! The 5 Minute Mini is exactly what it sounds like — fast, efficient, and budget friendly.
5 minute session in my Frisco studio
1-2 backgrounds (usually white and black)
Minimum 8 fully edited images — no extra charge for more
Full size downloads included, no strings attached
Perfect for: LinkedIn updates, publication bios, website about pages, real estate profiles, or anyone who just needs a clean professional photo fast. You can swap a jacket or blazer but there are no full outfit changes in 5 minutes — and honestly you do not need them!
Want More Options? The 10 Minute Micro Mini Headshot Session
A step up from the 5 minute session, the Micro Mini gives you a little more breathing room. This is one of my most popular headshot options because it hits the sweet spot between fast and thorough.
10 minute session — best availability in my Frisco studio
1-2 backgrounds
Jacket or blazer swap is totally fine
Minimum 15 fully edited images included — again, no extra charge if I get more great shots!
This is also a great option if two colleagues want to split the time. You each get 5 minutes and walk away with professional photos — efficient and cost effective!
Want Outfit Changes and Multiple Backgrounds?
The Mini and Full Headshot Sessions
If you are building out a personal brand, updating your website, creating content for social media, or just want a really well rounded gallery to pull from, a longer session is the way to go. These sessions give you variety — different backgrounds, different outfits, different poses and expressions so you are not posting the same photo everywhere.
The Mini (20 minutes):
2+ backgrounds as time allows
1-2 outfit changes OR share the time with a colleague
Minimum 25 fully edited images
Indoor and outdoor options available
This is an example of a 30 minute headshot and branding session at Lumen Room Plano for a local author and podcaster.
The Full Headshot Session (30 minutes):
3+ backgrounds as time allows
2-3 outfit changes OR share the time with colleagues or friends
Minimum 30 fully edited images
Great for groups, indoor and outdoor options available
Both session types are available at my Frisco studio or at one of the larger rented studio spaces I book throughout the North Texas area for more diverse backdrop options. If you are not sure which length is right for you, just reach out and we can figure it out together!
Have a Whole Office That Needs Headshots? I Can Help With That Too!
Corporate headshot days are one of my favorite things to do. Whether you have a team of 5 or a team of 50 I have flexible options to make it work smoothly and efficiently for everyone.
We rent a studio: for larger groups or teams that want more backdrop variety, props/couches, and group shots. We can schedule everyone to come at the same time OR we can give a window for everyone to swing by during a morning/afternoon, etc. My fav studio is Lumen Room Plano!
I can come to you: I bring my lighting setup and backgrounds, if needed, directly to your office. Everyone swings by, gets their photos taken, and gets back to work. Easy! This is not the best option, though, if you are wanting props or group photos. Renting a local studio like Lumen Room Plano is best for this!
My Frisco studio: perfect for smaller groups and individuals who want a clean polished look with multiple background options My studio examples
Group pricing starts at $80 per person for groups of 5-15 with a $400 minimum. Everyone walks away with their own gallery of 2-3 images (usually more) with consistent polished editing. Perfect for websites, directories, email signatures, and LinkedIn profiles.
Why You Get a Gallery — Not Just One Photo
Here is something that sets Christie Gare Photography apart from a lot of headshot photographers: you are not walking away with one image. You are walking away with a gallery of options.
Why does that matter? Because you need more than one photo. You need a serious one for your LinkedIn. A warm approachable one for your website about page. A fun one for Instagram. A horizontal one for a publication header. A vertical one for your business card. Different platforms need different crops and different expressions.
My approach covers all of that. We vary your posing, your expressions, and your angles throughout the session so that you leave with options. And in a world where people are craving authenticity and human connection, showing that you are a real person behind your brand matters more than ever.
Every image I edit fully goes into your gallery. If it is a good shot it is included — no extra charge, no package upgrades, no surprises. What you paid is what you pay.
No Hidden Fees. No Upselling. Ever.
I want to be really clear about how this works because I know the photography industry can feel confusing and a little shady sometimes. Here is exactly what you get with Christie Gare Photography headshots:
Every fully edited image is included in your gallery download — no limits, no upcharges
Color AND black and white versions of every image
Full size downloads with print release included — yours to use however you want
Online gallery with a private shareable link
Quick turnaround — average 3-5 days, busy season closer to a week
The only additional cost you could ever incur is if you choose to order prints through my website or through a print service like Shutterfly. That is completely optional. Your digital images are yours free and clear.
