💰 How Much Do Professional Headshots Cost in Kelowna? (2025 Guide)
The Real Price of a Great Headshot in Kelowna
Let’s be honest — shopping for headshots can feel like decoding a restaurant menu with no prices. Some photographers list “$99 mini sessions,” others charge $500+, and most don’t explain why.
So, what’s the real cost of a professional headshot in Kelowna?
Let’s break it down.
Average Headshot Prices in Kelowna
Across Kelowna and the Okanagan, professional headshots typically range from $200–$600 depending on your needs and the photographer’s experience.
Basic Session - $150–$250. Includes 1 setup, light retouching, digital delivery
Standard Studio Session - $250–$450. Includes 2–3 looks, professional lighting, expression coaching, retouched images
Corporate/Team Packages - $500–$2,000+. Consistent team branding, group shots, on-site setup.
High-End Branding Session - $600–$1,200+. Creative direction, multiple looks, commercial licensing may or may not be included.
At Kelowna Headshots and Trevor Walker Photography, most clients invest around $290 for the session and $180 per final image, which includes expert posing guidance, professional lighting, and retouching that still looks like you on your absolute best day.
What Affects the Cost of a Headshot
The price depends on a few key factors:
1. Experience and Skill
A seasoned photographer knows how to draw genuine expressions, not stiff smiles. You’re paying for coaching and direction, not just a click of the shutter.
2. Studio Setup
A professional studio (like ours on Hunter Court) provides perfect lighting, consistent backgrounds, and fast image turnaround, something DIY setups and natural light can’t match.
3. Editing and Retouching
Good retouching is invisible. Skin tone, shine, stray hairs…all handled without making you look airbrushed. That takes time and experience.
Hidden “Bargain” Costs Nobody Tells You About
Cheap sessions often skip:
Retouching (you’ll pay extra later)
Expression coaching (you’ll look uncomfortable)
Image selection guidance (you’ll get a gallery and no help choosing)
By the time you add all that up, the “$99 deal” ends up costing the same, but with way less impact.
The ROI of a Professional Headshot
Your headshot is your first impression on LinkedIn, your website, and even Google’s Knowledge Panel.
A well-executed image can:
Increase LinkedIn profile views by up to 14x
Boost message replies and interview conversions
Strengthen brand trust with your audience
If your face represents your brand so invest accordingly.
