I don't mean this in a condescending way at all, but seriously, there's absolutely no need to pay for professional headshots in this day and age. Use decent lighting and a blank wall and have a friend take pictures on your phone. If you don't want a plain background, head downtown and take some standing in front of buildings (I think having the PPG buildings in the background always looks great).

Sure, that’s a great option! I am typically not very good at pictures was the only reason I was asking, but I appreciate that and will def consider it!!

Also, inquire with your school as they may have opportunities to get free professional headshots throughout the school year. At Duquesne I was able to get one done during the career fair. I still ended up using my own 'amateur' one though as I didn't like my face in the professional one, lol
