A headshot that actually looks like you on a good day

Most headshots in Lincoln land in one of three places: stiff (executive, but weirdly fake), too casual (fine for a profile picture, useless on a firm website), or the kind of frame you instantly recognize as stock. We shoot for the middle — warm, sharp, intentional. The version of you that can sit on your About page, your LinkedIn, or the cover of a proposal tomorrow morning and not need an explanation.

What professional headshots cost in Lincoln — the whole price sheet

The Quick One is $200: a 30-minute session, 10 fully color-graded selects, same-week delivery, studio or your office at the same rate. That is the right buy for a LinkedIn photo, a firm bio, or a directory listing.

The Brand Portrait is $450: 60 minutes, two looks and two backgrounds, 25+ color-graded selects, same week. That is the one for founders, speakers, and anyone whose face does sales work.

Team and group days start at $600 on-site, with per-head pricing that drops as the roster grows — 5 people at $150 per person, 10 at $130, 20 or more at $100. Every number here matches the Investment page and the invoice. No sitting fee stacked on a print fee stacked on a licensing fee.

Where to get headshots in Lincoln: our downtown studio or your office

Our studio is at 1200 N Street in downtown Lincoln — a few blocks from the Haymarket, the Capitol, and most of the firms that book us. Controlled light, clean backgrounds, in and out in half an hour, and easy to reach on a lunch break.

If it is simpler for us to come to you, we bring the studio to your office: lights, backdrop, and a tethered camera set up in a conference room or any wall with about ten feet of clear space. Downtown, the Haymarket, the Telegraph District, the clinic and office corridors along South 70th, Pioneers, and Old Cheney, the campus side of town — anywhere in Lincoln at the same flat session rate. Outside Lincoln? We run the same session in Omaha with no travel fee, and bring the studio to offices anywhere in Nebraska.

How the 30 minutes actually work

Almost nobody enjoys being photographed, so the session is built around coaching, not posing. We shoot tethered — frames land on a screen as we go — and walk you through where the chin goes, what to do with your hands, and when to smile versus when to simply not frown. We work through a few angles and expressions, you leave already knowing there is a frame you like, and you pick your 10 selects from a private proofing gallery. The selects come back fully color-graded the same week, sized for LinkedIn, your website, and print.

Who books us for headshots in Lincoln

Founders launching a website. Attorneys, consultants, and financial advisors updating firm bios ahead of a site refresh. Real estate agents whose face is on every sign and postcard in town. Physicians, dentists, and clinic teams standardizing provider pages. Speakers, authors, and creators building a personal brand. Job seekers who know the recruiter looks at the photo first. And a steady stream of Lincoln professionals who are simply done using the same LinkedIn photo from four years ago.

Team and company headshot days

One good headshot is nice. A team page where every photo matches — same light, same framing, same grade — is what makes a company look like it has its act together. We run on-site headshot days for Lincoln law firms, clinics, brokerages, agencies, and offices: one setup, 10-15 minutes per person, volume pricing from 5 people up. We also document the lighting and backdrop for every team we shoot, so the associate you hire next spring gets a photo that drops into the roster without a visible seam.

One studio for the headshot, the brand library, and everything after

Headshots are one lane of a working commercial studio. The same team shoots brand and hospitality photography for Lincoln venues like Capital Cigar Lounge, corporate events, and commercial work across Nebraska — which matters for a headshot in one specific way: we light and grade faces for a living, every week, in rooms we have never seen before. When the single headshot stops being enough, the personal branding session and the commercial work are the same phone call.
