The Direct Answer
A professional headshot session typically delivers 2–5 final edited images. During the session, a photographer will take 50–200+ shots across multiple wardrobe changes and expressions — but the deliverable is a curated selection of the best, professionally edited.
At Rojas Photography, there is no minimum. You select your favorites from the session review, and each chosen image is professionally edited and delivered within 48 hours. Most professionals select 2–4 images. You only pay for what you choose.
Why the Number Is Small — And Why That Is a Good Thing
A photographer who delivers 50 unedited images is giving you a proof sheet, not a headshot.
Professional editing is where a good shot becomes a great headshot. Retouching, color correction, skin refinement, sharpening, and background cleanup require significant time per image. A photographer who delivers 50 images either is not editing them properly or is charging accordingly.
The right deliverable is 2–5 images that are genuinely excellent — not 50 images that are inconsistent and unfinished. Most professionals find that 2–3 high-quality images serve every professional purpose they have: LinkedIn, their company website, their email signature, and a press or speaker bio.
How Many Images Do You Actually Need?
One strong headshot covers LinkedIn and your company directory. Sufficient for most professionals in stable roles who need a current, professional photo.
Different expressions or wardrobe looks for different uses — one more formal for firm directories and Avvo, one warmer for LinkedIn and social, one for a press or speaker bio.
Speakers, authors, executives with heavy media presence, and professionals who appear frequently in press may benefit from a broader library of looks for different contexts.
