How Much Do Headshots Cost in Los Angeles?
A straight answer on headshot pricing — and what you’re actually paying for.

What drives headshot pricing
Three things set the price of a headshot session: the number of looks (distinct wardrobe + background combinations), the number of retouched images, and whether it’s in-studio or on-location. A single-look session is the entry point; actors and professionals who need variety step up to multi-look packages.
- 1 look, 1 retouch — $199
- 2 looks — $349 · 3 looks — $425
- 4–6 looks — $500–$700
- Modeling digitals — $300 ($500 with retouching)
- On-location / team — quoted by headcount
Why professional headshots are worth it
For actors, your headshot is your first audition — it decides whether casting clicks your profile at all. For professionals, it shapes the first impression on LinkedIn, your company page, and press. A $199–$425 session that books you one job or one client pays for itself many times over.
