Frequently Asked Questions
Have Questions About Your Photoshoot?
You’re not alone! Whether it’s your first professional headshot or a full branding session, it’s natural to have questions about what to expect. At Market Street Studio, I make the experience relaxed, efficient, and enjoyable—from planning your session to helping you look and feel your absolute best on camera.
Who do you photograph?
I work with professionals and teams across the DMV area—entrepreneurs, executives, small business owners, and corporations who want headshots and branding photos that reflect confidence and authenticity. Whether you need a clean LinkedIn headshot, fresh team images, or personal branding portraits that tell your story, I’ll guide you every step of the way.
I’m not very photogenic. Can you help with that?
Absolutely! Most of my clients say the same thing at first. My specialty is helping people feel relaxed, natural, and confident in front of the camera. I’ll guide you through poses, expressions, and little adjustments that bring out your best self. No modeling experience required!
Do you offer both studio and onsite photography?
Yes. You can come to my Gaithersburg studio for a polished, professional setting, or I can bring the studio to your office for branding sessions, team photos, or corporate headshots. I serve clients throughout Montgomery County, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia.
What happens during a headshot or branding session?
Before your session, we’ll plan your wardrobe and talk about the look you want to achieve. During the shoot, I’ll guide you through poses and expressions that feel natural and flattering. You’ll be able to review your images as we go to make sure you love what we’re capturing.
How long will my session take?
Express headshots typically take 10 minutes. Full headshot or branding sessions last anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on outfit changes and the variety of looks you’d like.
Do you retouch photos?
Yes. All final images are professionally retouched to enhance natural features, adjust lighting, and polish the overall look—while keeping you looking like you. I focus on clean, authentic edits that elevate your professional image.
How soon will I receive my photos?
Most clients receive their finished images within a week. You’ll receive images formatted for both high and low resolution uses, and instructions on where to use each file type.
Will my photos remain private?
Yes. Your images are confidential and only shared publicly with your permission. Many clients choose to keep their images private until they’re ready to launch new branding or update their online profiles.
Do you offer payment plans or corporate packages?
Yes, flexible options are available for individuals and teams. Corporate clients can bundle multiple headshots or create a composite team image for easy updates as staff members change.
Where is Market Street Studio located?
The studio is located in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with convenient access from Rockville, Bethesda, North Bethesda, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia. All of the driving information is provided once your session is booked. Parking is easy and open on the street directly adjacent.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Life happens! I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel your session. We’ll work together to find another time that fits your schedule.
