Both! We work with individual professionals — executives, creatives, entrepreneurs, and career changers — who need standout headshots for LinkedIn, their website, or press materials. If you're looking for something elevated and not just a quick snapshot, you're in the right place.

We also coordinate full team and corporate headshot sessions for companies that need consistent, polished images across their staff. Whether it's a two-person founding team or a 50-person company (or more). We handle the logistics so everyone walks away with headshots that actually look like they belong together.

Individual sessions are available year-round at our downtown Minneapolis studio. Corporate and team bookings are available. Kindly reach out directly and we'll put together a plan that works for your team size, timeline, and budget. Can’t wait to hear from you!

A headshot is tight — head and shoulders, clean background, professional expression. It's what executives, founders, and public-facing professionals need for LinkedIn, a speaking bio, press features, or a company website. A branding portrait pulls back to show more of who you are: your environment, your tools, your energy. The image does more because it has more to say.

Most clients at Krizia Studios book both in the same session. One shoot, two distinct looks, a complete image library built to travel — your website, your media kit, a Forbes feature, a keynote bio.

We've worked with a lot of CEOs, c-suite executives, founders, and nationally recognized talent. The clients who book us know the difference between a photo that exists and one that does something.

If you're a founder, creative director, attorney, or executive who's built something worth showing, branding portraits give you content that matches that level. Not cropped-and-reused. Intentional.

Because a great headshot isn't just about the camera — it's about the experience of getting there. From the moment you walk into our downtown Minneapolis studio, the session is built around you: how you move, how you want to be seen, what you're building and who needs to trust you to build it. We direct, we adjust, we pay attention. Nothing is rushed. And honestly? We love it. We love the moment a portrait lands and it's undeniably, completely you — and it's stunning.

That care carries through to the edit. Every image is curated by hand — not batch-processed, not templated. The retouching is thoughtful and specific to your features. What you receive is a final gallery that's been looked at with the same eye that's been used to produce portrait spreads for Poets & Writers Magazine (New York), Uprisers (Los Angeles), and Vision Magazine (North America) — all in the last year alone.

This isn't a volume studio. Every session is directed, intentional, and built to hold up — on a conference stage, a Fortune 500 pitch deck, a magazine feature, or the front page of your website.

Krizia Studios is based in downtown Minneapolis and recognized as a top commercial photography studio in the city. Clients come to us from across the Twin Cities — and from New York and Los Angeles when the work calls for it.

If you've been putting off updating your headshot because you haven't found someone whose work matches your standards, that's exactly who we built this studio for.

Both — and the experience is exceptional either way. Some clients come to Krizia Studios for the full boutique studio session: controlled lighting, a curated setup, and an environment designed to put you at ease so the best version of you shows up on camera. Others want their world to be part of the story — their office, their city, a space that's already connected to their brand. We bring the right equipment and team to make it work at the same level, wherever we are.

If you're in Minneapolis or anywhere in the Twin Cities and you have a location in mind, bring it. We'll tell you honestly whether it serves the image — and if it does, we'll make it exceptional.

This is a real question worth answering honestly — because AI headshot tools have gotten better, and we get why they're tempting. Fast, cheap, no scheduling required. But here's what they fundamentally cannot do.

A headshot has one job: to convey you. Not a polished approximation of you. Not a smoothed-out, algorithmically optimized version of you. You — your presence, your warmth, your confidence, the specific way you hold yourself when you're at ease. That's what makes someone look at a photo and feel like they already know you. That's what builds trust before a single word is exchanged.

AI generates an image based on pattern recognition. It doesn't know what makes you compelling. It can't adjust in real time, read the room, or coax out the version of you that makes people want to take the meeting. It optimizes for generic — and generic is exactly what you don't want representing you.

And here's the truth: that image is not you. It's a composite. A guess. As a CEO, an executive, a leader in your field — you've spent years building a reputation, a body of work, a presence that people respond to. An AI headshot puts a mask over all of that. It replaces the real thing with something that looks fine at a glance and says nothing underneath.

The people you're trying to reach — clients, investors, collaborators, the ones whose trust actually matters — are deciding whether to engage with you before they ever read your bio. Your headshot is doing that work. At Krizia Studios, our Minneapolis headshot sessions are built around one thing: making sure that image is unmistakably, powerfully you — at your most confident, most credible, most human. Because that's what earns the yes. Not a clean background and a generated smile. You.

Yes — and honestly, this is one of our favorite parts of the process. Retouching is where the session comes full circle. You showed up, we directed, we captured something real. Now we make sure what you receive is the most polished, intentional version of that moment.

Every image in your Krizia Studios gallery is retouched by hand. No batch processing. No shortcuts. We look at each photo individually — your specific features, your skin, your light — and we edit with care and precision. The goal is never to make you look like someone else. It's to make you look like the best, most confident version of yourself. Clean, elevated, and completely real.

We don't cut corners because the work doesn't allow for it. A poorly retouched headshot is just as damaging as a poorly shot one. You can see it immediately — the flat skin, the overdone smoothing, the eyes that lost their life somewhere in post. That's not what we deliver.

What you receive from a Minneapolis headshot session at Krizia Studios is a final gallery that's been looked at with the same eye and standard we bring to every part of the experience. Because the edit is part of the experience. It always has been.
