FAQ.

Straight answers about modern headshots in McAllen, Texas. Still have questions? We love those too.

Ask Us Anything
How much does a headshot cost in McAllen?

Modern headshot sessions start at $590 without hair and makeup, or $690 with professional hair and makeup by Karrie Jo. Both options include a fully guided session, up to four wardrobe looks, same-day image selection, and high resolution digital files in both color and black and white.

Unlike portrait sessions, headshot sessions are designed to be efficient and focused — you're in, you look incredible, and you're out. Most sessions run 60–90 minutes (longer if you choose to add on Hair and Makeup)

What should I wear to my headshot session?

Once you book your session we send you a detailed wardrobe guide — everything you need to know about colors, patterns, necklines, and what photographs best on camera.

The short version: solid colors, simple tailoring, and bring 2–4 options. But don't stress about it — the guide covers everything and we're always a text away if you have questions before your session.

Is hair and makeup worth it for a headshot?

Yes — almost always. Karrie Jo's work is natural, refined, and specifically designed to be camera-ready without looking overdone. She knows exactly how to prep skin and hair for studio lighting.

The difference between a good headshot and a great one is often the preparation — and $100 for professional hair and makeup is absolutely worth it for an image that represents you everywhere online.

How long does a headshot session take?

Without hair and makeup — 60–90 minutes. With hair and makeup — 2–2.5 hours. We move efficiently but never rush. You'll have time for multiple wardrobe looks and backgrounds, and we won't stop until we have images you're genuinely excited about.

Can you shoot headshots for my whole team?

Absolutely. We offer team headshot sessions for businesses across the Rio Grande Valley. Consistent lighting, consistent backgrounds, consistent quality for every team member — so your website and marketing materials look cohesive and professional. Contact us for group pricing.

What's the turnaround time?

Standard turnaround is approximately one week after your same-day image selection. You'll receive high resolution files in both color and black and white, ready for LinkedIn, your website, press, and print. Rush options are available — just let us know when you book.
