Frequently Asked Questions
1) Who is this for?
This day was designed for professional women, whether you're in a corporate role, running your own business, or navigating a job transition. If you want to show up more confidently and make a stronger first impression, you belong in this room.
2) What does the day look like?
A full day with a small group of women enjoying morning beverages, a networking simulation, professional headshots with photographer Jamie Joos, a presentation from image stylist Melissa Jaeger, a LinkedIn strategy session, dedicated introduction practice, lunch together, and a couple of surprises. You'll leave energized, not wiped out.
3) How many headshots will I receive?
One professionally retouched digital image, and that's intentional. Most women who've invested in headshots walk away with a gallery they never use. You'll leave with one image that actually looks like you on your best day, the one you'll put on LinkedIn immediately. You'll receive a preview within 24 hours, with your retouched final image to follow. Additional images are available for purchase.
4) What if I have dietary restrictions?
We've got you. The menu is designed to accommodate all dietary restrictions. Just note yours when you register and we'll make sure you're taken care of.
5) What if I hate networking?
Then you're exactly who this was built for. No awkward small talk, no forced mingling. Just well-designed activities where connection happens naturally, and you'll actually have fun doing it.
6) How is this different from just booking a headshot session?
A standalone headshot session gives you multiple great photos. This day gives you a great photo, plus a styled wardrobe presentation, a practiced networking introduction, structured connection with other professional women, and lunch in a beautiful private setting. All for less than most photographers charge for the shoot alone.
7) What is your cancellation policy?
Tickets are non-refundable but transferable. If you can't make it, you're welcome to send someone in your place.
