San Mateo’s $199 Headshot Deal: Editorial Style Without the Premium Price – Perfect for LinkedIn
Your LinkedIn headshot is your first professional handshake. It needs to say “capable,” “confident,” and “memorable” – but you shouldn’t have to pay a fortune for that. At Luminous Space, our $199 headshot deal brings magazine-worthy style to professionals in San Mateo, Palo Alto, Redwood City, and beyond. Here’s how we make it work.
Why $199 Gets You More Than You Think
Our $199 package isn’t “budget” – it’s smart. For that price, you get:
30 minutes of shooting (plenty of time to nail the right look)
30–50 photos to choose from
1 professionally retouched image (picked on-site, so you leave happy)
Complimentary touch-ups (we fix flyaways or smudged lipstick – no extra cost)
No hidden fees. Just editorial quality that makes you stand out on LinkedIn, resumes, or company sites.
What Makes a Great LinkedIn Headshot?
LinkedIn isn’t Instagram – your photo needs to balance professionalism with personality. We focus on:
Lighting: Soft, even Profoto lighting (no harsh shadows) that makes your face glow – like a magazine spread.
Poses: Relaxed but sharp. Try a slight smile, shoulders back, or a casual lean – we guide you to look approachable, not stiff.
Backgrounds: Clean white, gray, or black (all editorial-style) to keep the focus on you – no cluttered distractions.
We Serve the Whole Bay Area
Based in San Mateo, we’re easy to reach for professionals in:
Palo Alto (tech folks, start-up founders)
Redwood City (creatives, marketers)
Burlingame (finance, legal pros)
Menlo Park (entrepreneurs, consultants)
No need to trek far – our studio has parking, a private wardrobe area, and all the gear to make you shine.
Pro Tips to Prep for Your Shoot
Wear neutral, tailored clothes: A crisp shirt, blazer, or dark dress works best. Skip logos or busy patterns – they pull focus.
Do basic hair and makeup: We’ll touch up, but arriving camera-ready saves time (and stress).
Think about your brand: A lawyer might want a formal look; a designer could try something more relaxed. We adapt to your vibe.
Add-Ons if You Want More
Need extras? We’ve got you:
Another outfit + 1 more retouched photo: $149 (great for mixing professional and casual looks).
Rush delivery (next-day): $100 (perfect for last-minute profile updates).
Extra retouched images: $50 each (so you have backups for different platforms).
