Ryan Parker photographs LinkedIn headshots in Edmonton, composed for the circle LinkedIn crops your photo into and delivered at the size it needs. You see every frame on screen as he shoots and choose your favourite before you leave. He has photographed more than 4,000 people over 18 years. A studio session is $250, plus $125 for each image you choose, with no minimum and no upsell.

Where it shows up

Small first. Full size last.

Your photo is a circle in search results, comment threads and connection requests long before anyone opens the profile, and the same circle is what a meeting shows when the camera is off. The frame is composed for that: face centred, a little room around it, and an expression that still reads at forty pixels.

The file

What to upload, and what it has to be.

  1. Square. The platform cuts a circle out of the middle of it, so the corners are never shown.
  2. At least 400 pixels on each side. Bigger is better, up to 7680 by 4320 and under 8MB.
  3. JPG or PNG.
  4. The banner behind you is a different shape again: 1584 by 396, nearly four to one.
  5. Upload the web size from your session. Every session delivers one, composed with the circle in mind.
  6. A plain background holds up at 32 pixels. That’s why most of the circles at the top of this page are on grey or white.
  7. Use the same photo everywhere people find you, so the face matches the name.
  8. Keep the full-size file for the places that show it big: the company website, a bio, a conference program.
  9. Change it when it stops looking like you. That’s the most common reason people come back.

Nathan WaltersNovember 2023I discovered Ryan Parker Photography while doing a Google search just over a year ago. And am I ever glad I did! One thing was very evident when working with Ryan. He’s a premier-level photographer that has crafted his skills over the years. From his workflow, technical ability, artistry, and professionalism, he has it all dialled in. I highly recommend Ryan for anyone seeking a high-calibre, yet approachable, professional that will consistently deliver above and beyond. A great investment all around.
Andy ReynoldsJanuary 2026I chose Ryan for my headshots because of his acting experience and because his portfolio contained images that clearly communicated something, rather than just being a collection of smiley corporate vanilla. He immediately understood what I was looking for (and why), and helped me express it for his camera. We had the shots I wanted down in very short order, although I felt like he would have spent hours with me if that's what it took. The images were expertly retouched by the end of the week, and I couldn't be happier.
Shyam GaneshSeptember 2021Ryan is an absolute professional. I'm not normally comfortable posing for or taking any kind of photos but he made feel totally relaxed and at ease. His studio is professional and really well-equipped. I loved that I could see the photos as they were being taken, and that he used that to coach me on why he's asking me to do certain things that sounded weird. I also loved that we narrowed down the top photos right then and there, and that his touchup turnaround time was pretty quick. Super happy with my headshots and highly recommend Ryan Parker Photography!

LinkedIn headshots in Edmonton: FAQs

Ten questions for Ryan.

01

Is a LinkedIn headshot a different session?

Same session. A LinkedIn headshot is a business headshot, and every session delivers a web size for the platform along with the rest of your finals. Each final comes as a high-resolution file and a web-optimized one, and you can crop your own versions in as many styles as you like. See the business headshot session →

02

Why does the circle matter?

LinkedIn shows your photo as a small circle in search results, comment threads and connection requests, long before anyone opens the profile. The frame is composed with that in mind: face centred, a little room around it, and an expression that still reads at that size.

03

What size should a LinkedIn profile photo be?

Square, and at least 400 by 400 pixels. The platform accepts up to 7680 by 4320 and a file under 8MB, in JPG or PNG. Anything comfortably above the minimum is fine; what matters more is that the face is centred, because the corners of the square are cut off.

04

Why is my LinkedIn photo a circle?

You upload a square and the platform masks it to a circle, which removes roughly a fifth of the picture. A frame composed for a rectangle loses its corners and can lose a shoulder; one composed for the circle does not. That is what the web size in your finals is for.

05

What size is the LinkedIn banner behind the photo?

1584 by 396 pixels, which is close to four to one. It is a different shape to everything else on the profile, and your profile photo sits over its lower left on desktop, so anything important belongs to the right of centre.

06

How often should I update my LinkedIn photo?

When it stops looking like you. A good rule of thumb is every two or three years, or sooner if your look has changed enough that people would look twice.

07

Is it okay to crop myself out of a wedding or family photo for LinkedIn?

Usually not, and the people around you tend to notice before you do. One senior executive came in to replace his LinkedIn photo. He’d cropped it out of a family wedding picture: dressed for the wedding, outside in the wind and sun, with a hand on his chest and the top of his daughter’s head poking into the frame. Everyone around him had been telling him to fix it. He texted a screenshot of his new photo to his wife, who didn’t know he’d booked, and she called him screaming. His friends went just as crazy.

08

What should I wear?

Solid colours read best in a small circle and hold up over time. Wardrobe guidance is part of every session, so bring a couple of options if you’re torn and we’ll pick together.

09

How much does a LinkedIn headshot cost?

The same as a business headshot: a studio session is $250, plus $125 for each image you choose. There are no packages, so you pick your images after you’ve seen them. Get in touch for the full pricing list.

10

Do you do LinkedIn headshots for a whole team?

Yes. Teams run as a team headshot day, in the studio or at your office, with everyone’s profile photo matched. See team headshots →
