You Only Get One First Impression!
A professional headshot is an essential to your personal branding. It is usually your first opportunity to show an image of professionalism and trustworthiness, while giving credibility to who you are and what you do. A great headshot will invite others to want to make a personal connection with you.
The Tone
• How do you want prospective clients to see you? Warm, professional, approachable, it depends to a degree on your industry.
• Think about the look you want to achieve. Do you want soft even light or something a bit more edgy? What color background?
Grooming
• Best advice, get a good nights sleep for that extra sparkle in your smile!
• If your doing makeup keep it minimal or better yet go to a makeup artist who does makeup for photo sessions ( I can give recommendations ).
• Time hair cuts and styling so your hair is camera ready at the session.
• Guys, be sure facial hair is well groomed.
Dress for Success
• Dress appropriately for your profession, think of it as dressing for a presentation or interview.
• Solid colors are best, avoid bright distracting colors, busy patterns, flesh tones and pastels.
• Simple necklines and minimal jewelry keep attention on your face.
Most importantly, relax and have fun. With our skill in lighting, posing and retouching you'll look your absolute best.
