Professional headshots
Professional Headshots in New Jersey
Individual and small-group headshot sessions at the Freehold studio or at your location, with coaching and natural retouching included.
Not every headshot is a company project. Sometimes it is one person who needs a photo for a new role, a speaker bio, a book jacket or a website. Sometimes it is a three-person partnership that has never had matching photos. These sessions get the same lighting and attention Rob Wilson brings to large corporate days, scaled to a smaller group.
Rob has been a headshot photographer in New Jersey since 1993. Professional headshots in NJ are his core work, and the difference between a good one and a forgettable one usually comes down to two things: lighting that flatters your face, and coaching that gets you past the stiff first few frames.
What you can expect
- Sessions at the Freehold studio or your location
- Gray, white, black or color backdrops
- Posture and expression coaching throughout
- Several crops and looks for different uses
- Natural retouching on every selected image
- Final images you can use anywhere
Recent work
Examples from recent sessions
Studio or your location
You choose where the session happens. The Freehold studio offers a quiet, private space with full studio lighting. If you would rather stay put, Rob can bring the studio to your office or home office and set up in about 20 minutes.
Small groups often pick the location option because it keeps everyone in one place and makes it easy to add a group photo at the end.
How the coaching works
Most people say they are not photogenic. In practice, they are just uncomfortable being photographed. Rob talks you through small adjustments as you go: chin position, shoulder angle, where to put your weight and how to soften your expression. You see images on the back of the camera during the session, so you know what is working before you leave.
Headshots for LinkedIn, websites and speaker bios
Different uses call for different crops and looks. A LinkedIn photo is viewed as a small circle, so it needs a tighter crop and a clear expression. A website bio may need a vertical frame that matches colleagues. A speaker bio or press kit benefits from a more editorial look with an environmental background. Tell us where the images are going and we will plan a few variations. If LinkedIn is the main goal, see our page on LinkedIn headshots. Request a quote and tell us what the photos are for.
Retouching and delivery
After the session you review your images and choose the ones you want finished. Retouching is included: blemishes, stray hairs and under-eye shadows are softened, and teeth are brightened, while keeping you looking like yourself. The final files are yours to use anywhere, from your profile to a printed program. We confirm the delivery date when you book, so tell us about any deadline up front.
When a small group grows into a full department, we can switch to an on-site team headshot day using the same look.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How long does an individual headshot session take?
Sessions are relaxed and unhurried. Rob takes the time needed to get a range of looks you are happy with. Ask for current session details when you book.
How do I get a quote for professional headshots?
Every session is quoted individually, depending on whether you come to the Freehold studio or we come to you, and how many people are photographed. Send a few details through the quote form and we will follow up.
Can I see the photos before I choose?
Yes. You see images during the session and then choose your final selections for retouching.
Can two or three colleagues book together?
Yes. Small groups are welcome at the studio or at your location, and we can add a group photo.
What should I wear?
Solid colors that fit well usually work best. Bring a couple of options. Our what-to-wear guide has more detail.
