Getting Ready for your Headshot

Dubbed “the new handshake,” professional headshots are now the first introduction to you, your business, and your personal brand.

It’s important that your look matches the image you’re trying to convey. Solid colors are always a good choice, as are tops with strong collars and necklines. Aim for clothes that complement your skin and eye tones and, overall, steer clear of very bold colors.

Practice your facial expressions

Before your headshot session, take a look at what other professionals are doing in terms of poses. Once you find a few poses and expressions you like, practice them in a mirror prior to your photo session. This will help us make the most of our time together.

Don’t overthink your outfit

Since headshots focus more on your head and shoulders, you don’t need to overthink your outfit too much. Stick to solid colors and statement pieces such as a blouse or blazer. You should also be wary of any accessories that might take the focus off your face. Stick with something basic, but professional.
