Bay Area Headshot & Portrait Photographer

Professional headshot photography typically ranges from $300 to $1,500 or more depending on the photographer's experience, session length, and number of final images. At Pooja Photography, sessions are priced as a full luxury experience, including pre-session consultation, professional posing guidance, and a reveal ordering session. Pricing is available upon request and tailored to whether you're booking an individual session or a corporate headshot day for your team.

For a professional headshot, solid colors photograph best. Avoid busy patterns, logos, and bright white, which can wash out against studio lighting. Navy, charcoal, burgundy, and jewel tones tend to work beautifully across most skin tones. You'll receive a detailed wardrobe guide before your session so you arrive prepared and confident, not second-guessing yourself in the parking lot.

Most individual headshot sessions at Pooja Photography run 30 to 60 minutes. That includes time for outfit changes, posing guidance, and capturing a variety of looks for LinkedIn, your company website, and speaking profiles. Corporate headshot days for teams are scheduled in efficient 10-minute slots per person so your workday stays on track.

A headshot is a single polished portrait, typically used for LinkedIn, company directories, and press features. A personal branding session goes deeper. It's a curated collection of images that tells your professional story — you in your workspace, you presenting, you in conversation, you at your best across multiple settings and outfits. If you're a coach, consultant, author, or entrepreneur who shows up consistently online, a personal branding session gives you months of content in one session.

Yes. On-location corporate headshot days are one of our most popular services. A complete studio setup comes directly to your San Ramon, San Francisco, or East Bay office so your team doesn't have to travel. Most employees are photographed in 10 to 15 minutes each, making it easy to fit into a busy workday. The result is a polished, consistent set of professional headshots for your entire team. All headshot bookings are now handled at headshotsandbranding.com.

A portrait artist is a photographer who treats every session as a work of art — designed, guided, and finished as wall art or a legacy album rather than just a digital file. At Pooja Photography, every personal portrait session begins with a design consultation, is fully guided so you never wonder what to do, and ends with a cinematic reveal where we design your finished pieces together. The end result isn't files — it's fine art for your home.

We are exceptional at creating portraits that tell stories — and that is our niche. So no, we do not photograph weddings, events, birthday parties, baby showers, cake smashes, or housewarming parties.

We can't keep you waiting — we love it when you're excited to enjoy your portraits. For most sessions, the viewing/ordering appointment is right after the session. Once we have what you love, we get the images and products ready for you.

Absolutely. We believe beautiful photographs shouldn't sit on a USB gathering dust. We specialise in creating wall art and gorgeous Italian handcrafted legacy albums — available in ornate gold frames, classic wooden frames, modern frames, canvas gallery wraps, and metal prints. You'll love our exclusive selection.

No RAW files or unfinished images will be provided. You go to a restaurant to enjoy a gourmet dinner, not raw food. We are that service.

It is illegal to scan your prints. Photographers hold the copyright to the images by law.

We cannot guarantee preserving your images and recommend buying the photographs you love at your ordering appointment.

Custom photography is non-refundable. We can re-schedule the date once.
