Your headshot should look like you, on your best day. You want your personality to shine through. You want someone to be able to look at the photo and think, that looks just like her.

as far as cost goes.. it depends. the photographer i used is an actor as well, and has very, very reasonably priced headshots. and they turned out fantastic. pjzstudios.com

i'd also recommend checking out the portfolios on reproductions.com as well. they're a great resource. The price range really depends.. but i don't think it's a good idea to skimp on headshots. In most cases, you get what you pay for, and your headshot is usually the first thing someone will see, so you want it to make a good impression!

hope that helps!

From shopping around their websites, I have came across many a good photographers (and when I say good, I mean whose work I was quite keen to) around the $300-400-something range... I would say that is very reasonable... Of course you will find some lower and some higher, but that's just my experience. I would be just as hesitant paying too little as I would paying too much (but for different reasons).

That's my two cents anyway!
