Where to Get Professional Headshots in Dothan (And What to Expect)

Why Professional Headshots Matter

Your headshot is often the first introduction someone has to you, whether they’re scrolling your LinkedIn, browsing your business website, or flipping through a company directory. A well-lit, polished image signals confidence, credibility, and attention to detail.

In today’s business world, image equals trust. Investing in a professional headshot isn’t just about looking good, it’s about standing out for the right reasons.

And if you’re ready to go beyond the classic headshot, a personal branding session takes things a step further. It’s where your personality, purpose, and professionalism come together to tell a deeper story, one that reflects not only what you do, but who you are.

Your brand is more than a logo or tagline, it’s how you’re remembered. And it all starts with a powerful image that captures your authentic self.

What to Expect at Your Headshot Session

At Dear Violet Photography, our Dothan studio (and on-location options) are designed to help you look and feel your best from start to finish.

Here’s how the process works:

Pre-Session Consultation We’ll start with a chat about your goals, industry, and desired look — classic corporate, creative professional, or modern lifestyle. This helps us tailor lighting, backgrounds, and posing to your brand personality.

Wardrobe Guidance Not sure what to wear? You’re not alone! We’ll guide you toward colors and styles that photograph beautifully — simple, professional, and flattering. Solid colors, minimal patterns, and well-fitted clothing are always a win.

Professional Hair & Makeup (Optional) We partner with trusted local stylists and makeup artists who specialize in natural, camera-ready looks. This small extra step makes a big impact — helping you look polished without feeling overdone. From soft glam to corporate-clean, your look will be refined, natural and perfectly suited for your brand image.

When you feel your best, it shows and that’s exactly what we capture.

Your Session Experience We’ll direct every pose and expression to bring out your confidence naturally. You’ll see previews as we go, so you can make adjustments and ensure you love the results before we wrap.

Proof & Selection Within days, you’ll see your lightly retouched images and choose your favorites for final retouching. Every final image is professionally edited to look clean, vibrant, and authentic, never overdone.

But What If I Don’t Like My Headshots?

That’s a common (and fair!) concern, and we get it. That’s why we take time to collaborate before and during your shoot. You’ll see real-time previews, and we won’t move forward until you’re confident in the direction. Our goal is simple, to deliver headshots that you love and feel proud to share.

The Value of a Polished Image

When you walk into a meeting, apply for a role, or show up on your company’s About page — your headshot speaks before you do. It tells your story, your confidence, and your care for how you present yourself. That’s why investing in professional photography isn’t vanity, it’s strategy.
