2025 Business Headshot Pricing
Hi, I'm Jessica!
Before I opened my own studio, I was a staff photographer for M Magazine. My job was to create portraits that brought each story to life: from professional athletes and models to everyday people like myself.
And do you want to know what the common denominator was?
Everyone was nervous to be in front of the camera.
It didn’t matter if you were a famous Bucks player or a hardworking farmer — everyone shared the same vulnerable feelings about being seen.
Fast forward to 2015. I had just opened my own studio and was promoting my personal project, The Milwaukee Beard Book. That’s when M Magazine called to feature me on their cover.
Suddenly, I was the one in front of the camera.
What would I wear? How should I do my makeup? What if I didn’t like how I looked in the photo?
For the first time, I truly understood the mix of excitement and anxiety that my clients feel.
That experience changed everything.
It inspired me to design each session at The Refinery Photo Studio around comfort, trust, and genuine connection. I want every client to feel seen, not just photographed.
Read on to discover what a Headshot Experience at The Refinery feels like, and how we create portraits that truly reflect you.
I was a little nervous going into my session but Jessica made me feel right at home
...I had such a great session with Jessica! I was looking to get headshots done to update my LinkdIn profile and Jessica helped me do just that! I was a little nervous going into my session but Jessica made me feel right at home with the music snacks and refreshments! Thank you Jessica!" - Brayden
From music to snacks, we've got you covered
You'll be greeted at the studio with a warm, cozy scent of our signature candle and room spray.
Set the tone of the shoot by choosing your own music - or feel free to enjoy whatever we've got on the stereo!
Don't worry about getting unexpectedly hangry during your shoot, as we've got you covered with complimentary snacks and beverages.
What is a Headshot?
Unlike a full-body portrait, a headshot is specifically focused on capturing your face and upper body, so it's a more intimate and focused representation of you. It's all about making sure that your expression, posture, and clothing are on point. It's like a little snapshot of your personal brand.
