E1X-148Professional Headshots · Kansas City
Headshots, directed like an editorial.
The photograph the working world sees first — deliberate lighting, directed posing, one focused hour that finishes with images you'd actually choose for yourself.
What's included
One hour on location. One look, one setting. Three retouched final images. It's Ritratto — the same directed process as every ELEMENT1X portrait, aimed squarely at the headshot. I bring the lights to you: your office, your space, or a place we scout together.

How it works
Tell me where this goes
LinkedIn, a company page, a book jacket, a press kit. Who the photograph is for changes how you are built — wardrobe, expression, and light all follow from that.
The session, directed
Sixty minutes at your location — your office, your space, or a spot we scout together. You won't be left guessing what to do with your hands — you'll be posed, adjusted, and lit, frame by frame.
Your finished images
Three retouched photographs, delivered in 7–10 business days, with the Professional Use license included. Additional retouched images are $85 each for the first five, then $65 each after that.
Questions people ask
What does a headshot session cost?
The Directed Headshot is $495 for a 60-minute session with three retouched images. If you want more time or more looks, the Signature Portrait at $895 gives you ten retouched images across two to three looks. A whole leadership team is $1,800 plus $145 per person.
Where do sessions happen?
On location, anywhere in the Kansas City metro — your office, your home, or a spot we scout together, including Overland Park, Leawood, and Lenexa. Travel beyond the metro is available on request.
How is this different from a standard headshot?
Most headshots are taken. These are directed. The same deliberate lighting and posing I use on editorial portrait sessions, applied to the photograph the working world sees first.
What should I wear?
Bring two options and we'll choose together when you arrive — solid colors photograph cleaner than patterns, and I'll walk you through what holds up under directed light.
