Northern Kentucky Headshot Photographer

Northern Kentucky professionals deserve headshots that match the energy and ambition of the region. Whether you are building a career in Covington's growing tech scene, running a business in Florence, or networking across the NKY corridor, a polished headshot opens doors before you even walk through them. K Dalton Photography's Cincinnati studio sits just 15 minutes from downtown Covington and Newport -- an easy drive across the river with no traffic headaches.

The tri-state area is unique because NKY professionals compete in a market that spans two states. Your LinkedIn profile, company website, and marketing materials need to stand out whether your audience is in Cincinnati, Lexington, or anywhere else. Kim Dalton has been photographing professionals from Northern Kentucky since 2009, understanding the blend of Midwestern authenticity and Southern warmth that defines the region's business culture.

Many NKY clients mention how convenient the studio location is -- just off the interstate, with easy parking and a relaxed atmosphere that makes the session feel effortless. You will leave with headshots that genuinely represent who you are, not a stiff corporate photo that could belong to anyone. Kim's expression coaching, refined as a Mentor and Associate Photographer under Peter Hurley — one of only a handful of women worldwide to hold the Mentor title — ensures every image captures confidence and approachability. In this role, Kim helps train other photographers in Peter Hurley's renowned headshot methodology.

Northern Kentucky's economy is remarkably diverse. Covington alone is home to major employers in financial services, logistics, healthcare, and legal services. Newport's revitalized riverfront has attracted tech companies, creative agencies, and hospitality brands. Florence continues to grow as a retail and distribution hub along the I-75/I-71 corridor. Fort Thomas and Fort Mitchell are home to professionals who commute across the region but need a headshot that reflects their local roots and professional ambitions.

Kim tailors every session to align with your industry's visual expectations. A headshot for a Covington-based attorney looks different from one for a Florence healthcare administrator or a Newport startup founder. The lighting, expression, wardrobe guidance, and background choices all shift based on who will be viewing your headshot and what impression you need to make. This is not a one-size-fits-all portrait session — it is a strategic investment in how the professional world perceives you.

Corporate teams throughout NKY also benefit from on-site sessions. Kim brings professional lighting, backdrops, and all equipment to your office, making it easy to photograph an entire team without disrupting the workday. Whether your company is in a modern Covington office tower or a converted warehouse in Newport, the setup adapts to your space. Each team member receives individual coaching and direction, resulting in a cohesive set of headshots with consistent quality across the board.

From the moment you arrive at the studio, the goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident. Kim provides complimentary beverages — Fiji water, sparkling water, cold brew, and energy drinks — along with a small snack assortment. Touch-up essentials like hairspray, bobby pins, lint rollers, and a straightener are available if you need them. The studio is designed to feel welcoming, not intimidating.

During the session, you will view your images in real-time on a large monitor. This is one of the biggest advantages of working with Kim — there are no surprises. You can see exactly what is working, adjust your expression or posture, and feel genuinely confident that you are leaving with images you love. Kim's expression coaching means she will guide you through subtle adjustments — a slight jaw shift, where to direct your gaze, how to relax your shoulders — that make the difference between a decent photo and a headshot that stops people mid-scroll.

After the session, your selected images are professionally retouched and delivered within one week. Each final image comes in multiple crops: LinkedIn square, circle for avatars, vertical portrait, and full uncropped. Every crop is delivered in both high resolution (300 DPI for print) and web resolution (72 DPI for online use). You will have everything you need for LinkedIn, your company website, business cards, email signatures, and any other professional platform.

Business headshot sessions start at $190, with individual images at $195 each. Most NKY professionals opt for a photo pack to save: 6 images for $1,050, 9 for $1,490, or 12 for $1,890. Acting headshot sessions start at $140 with images at $175 each. Professional makeup artistry is available for an additional $185. Corporate team pricing is customized based on team size and session requirements — contact Kim for a personalized quote.
