"I've worked with two photographers previously and they were nowhere near as organized, skilled, or professional. Karen was prepared, efficient, and made the entire session feel seamless. Her retouching is excellent and worth the extra fee."

FAQ — Corporate Headshots Woodland Hills & West Hills
Karen Vaisman Photography serves Woodland Hills and West Hills professionals from her private appointment-only studio at 5624 Silver Valley Avenue, Agoura Hills — approximately 10 minutes from Woodland Hills via the 101 Freeway west. LinkedIn, executive, business, and real estate headshots available by appointment Monday through Saturday, 9am–5pm.

Outstanding corporate headshots require three things working together:
- Expert lighting — five studio lights positioned to eliminate shadows and flatter every face, every age, every skin tone
- Real-time coaching — Karen coaches your expression, posture, and chin angle throughout so you never look stiff or over-posed. See our headshot posing guide
- Instant review — every shot shown on a 13-inch iPad so you see exactly what the camera sees and can adjust before moving on
The result is a headshot that looks confident, approachable, and unmistakably professional.
Karen uses a technique she has refined over 30+ years: coaching in real time, shooting, then showing you the result immediately on the iPad. You see every shot as it happens and adjust before the next one.
The key to a confident, natural smile is letting it start in your eyes — not your lips. Karen coaches every client through exactly how to do this. Most clients are surprised how quickly they relax once they can see themselves improving in real time. Read our full guide to looking approachable and confident in your headshot.
Yes — and Karen shares them all during your session. A few fundamentals that make an immediate difference:
- Chin slightly forward and down — eliminates double chin and sharpens the jawline
- Shoulders back and slightly angled — never face the camera dead-on; a slight turn projects confidence
- Eyes slightly squinted — prevents the wide-eyed "deer in headlights" look
- Relax your mouth before smiling — let the smile start in your eyes, not your lips
You don't need to memorize any of this before you arrive. Karen walks every client through it live. Read our complete headshot posing guide for more tips.
For retouched sessions, digital makeup is included — skin smoothing, digital eyelashes, and color balancing are all handled by Karen in Photoshop as part of the retouching process. You don't need to arrive camera-ready or hire a separate makeup artist.
For unretouched sessions, arrive with your makeup applied as you would for an important meeting. Read our complete guide to makeup for headshots before your session. Karen is also happy to advise — call (818) 991-7787 before you book.
Karen is a Master Retouch Artist with 30+ years of retouching experience. Temporary blemishes, redness, and skin unevenness are removed entirely. Permanent features like scars can be softened naturally without making you look like someone else.
The goal is always the best version of you, not a different version of you. See real examples in the before and after retouching gallery.
Karen shoots until she knows she has the right image — most headshot sessions produce 30–50 selectable images across multiple looks and expressions. Sessions run 30–60 minutes depending on the package, plus 15–20 minutes for in-person image selection on the iPad before you leave.
Retouched images are delivered within 48 hours via secure download link. You will never leave without knowing exactly what you're getting. See full session details and pricing →
Solid, medium-toned colors photograph best under studio lighting:
- Navy blue — always works, projects authority
- Charcoal grey — classic, versatile
- Burgundy or deep red — strong, confident
- Forest green or slate blue — distinctive, professional
- Black — classic, always works
Avoid: bright white, busy patterns, and colors that match your skin tone. Bring 2–3 outfit options — Karen will advise which photographs best. Read our complete what to wear for headshots guide.

Professional retouching refines your final images — balancing skin tone, removing temporary blemishes, sharpening eyes, and ensuring the overall image is polished and publication-ready. Karen is a Master Retouch Artist with over 30 years of experience. Retouching is available as a paid session upgrade.
Retouched sessions include digital makeup and digital eyelashes — all natural-looking. See real examples in our before and after retouching gallery. Read more about what's included in a headshot session.

AI headshots are improving but still produce generic, slightly-off results that most professionals can spot immediately. They cannot coach your expression, adjust your posture, or capture the natural confidence that comes from working with an experienced photographer.
