Frequently asked Questions
How much do professional headshots cost?
Our headshot mini sessions are $690 and include a 15-minute phone consultation,
30-minute in-studio photography session, one wardrobe change, professional hair
and makeup, and three professionally edited high-resolution photos. Additional
images can be purchased separately.
What should I wear for my headshot?
Wear professional attire appropriate for your industry. For business professionals,
this typically means a blazer, button-down shirt, or professional dress. Avoid busy
patterns, large logos, or distracting jewelry. We'll discuss wardrobe details during
your 15-minute consultation, and we can provide guidance based on your profession.
Do you include hair and makeup?
Yes! Every headshot mini session includes professional hair and makeup. This ensures
you look polished, camera-ready, and confident in your photos without needing to
arrange separate styling.
How long does a headshot session take?
Our mini sessions are 30 minutes of photography time, plus approximately 45-60 minutes
for professional hair and makeup beforehand. Total time at the studio is about 75-90
minutes. It's designed to fit into busy professional schedules.
When will I receive my photos?
You'll receive your three professionally edited, high-resolution headshots within
five days of your session.
Can I purchase additional photos?
Yes! The mini session includes three edited photos, but you can purchase additional
images from your session if you'd like more variety or options. We offer bundles that you can buy. Ask us about it.
Where are you located?
Studio S Portraits is located in Needham, Massachusetts, centrally positioned in
MetroWest Boston. We're easily accessible from Wellesley, Newton, Natick, Brookline,
Framingham, Weston, Dover, and throughout the greater Boston area.
Do you offer same-day headshots?
We schedule headshot mini sessions on specific dates (the next date is listed on this
page). While we don't offer same-day sessions, contact us if you have an
urgent need and we'll do our best to accommodate but we don't offer this so that we can take the time to create the best images instead of anything done in a hurry.
What's the difference between your mini sessions and full personal branding photography?
Headshot mini sessions are 30 minutes, include one wardrobe change, and provide three
edited photos—perfect for LinkedIn, company websites, or quick updates. Personal branding
photography is 4-6 hours, includes multiple outfits and setups, and provides 25-65 images
creating a comprehensive visual library for your entire brand.
Can I bring multiple outfits?
The mini session includes one wardrobe change (two total looks). If you need headshots
in more than two outfits, consider our personal branding photography package or contact
us about booking an extended session.
Is professional hair and makeup really necessary?
Professional makeup ensures you look your best on camera without looking "made up."
Our makeup artists specialize in camera-ready makeup that looks natural in photos while
eliminating shine, evening skin tone, and ensuring you look polished. Hair styling
completes the professional look. This is included in every session.
What if I don't like being photographed?
You're not alone! Most of our clients feel camera-shy at first. I guide you through
every pose and expression, and our relaxed approach makes the experience actually
enjoyable. By the end of the 30 minutes, most clients forget to be nervous.
Do you photograph men?
Yes! While we specialize in photographing women professionals, we welcome all
professionals who resonate with our approach to professional headshot photography.
Can I book for my whole team?
Absolutely! We offer group booking discounts for teams, companies, or organizations
needing consistent professional headshots. Contact us to discuss corporate headshot
packages.
What's your cancellation policy?
The $690 session fee is non-refundable but can be transferred to a future headshot
mini session date if you need to reschedule with at least 48 hours notice.
Why choose Studio S Portraits for headshots?
Unlike generic portrait photographers who do "everything," we specialize in professional
photography for business professionals. Every mini session includes professional styling
and makeup (most photographers don't include this at this price point), and we're located
in the heart of MetroWest Boston, making us accessible to busy professionals throughout
the area.

About your photographer
This is me, the face behind Studio S.
I am Shruthi (shrew-thee), mid-40s, and loving life.
I am loving getting older, and learning to be kind to myself not just others.
I have ADHD and anxiety, but you will never know that when you meet me. I am an introvert but you would never know when you meet me because I have Chandler Bing’s personality - I will make you laugh before you find out am actually an introvert.
The love of my life is my pupper, Sonny, and the 'S' in Studio S is for him. There is nothing in the world I wouldn’t do for him.
I am a plus size curvy girl and I own it! My business is, like me, body positive, age positive, women positive. I love being an older woman and am already in my “grumpy give no F’s” era.
I believe in creating experiences for women that celebrate who we are right now. No special occasion needed.
Drop me a line today to learn more about photography experiences I offer and how we can create memories for you.
