Best Portrait Photographers

When planning your professional headshot session, you’ll want to look for the best portrait photographers.  Portrait photographers have the knowledge and skill to utilize lighting, posing, and post-production techniques to create an authentic, flattering headshot.  You want to look like the very best version of yourself – well rested, energetic, and confident.  These features all come through a headshot in striking ways.  A professional headshot instills a sense that you are capable, qualified, and able to tackle that job!  For companies that list employees or staff on the website, professional headshots provide a face behind the name.  People do business with people.  It’s so important to have that personal connection – now more than ever, since much of the workforce has been at home for the past year.

Corporate Headshots

Corporate headshots are just portraits where everyone has a uniform look.  If you’re using headshots in marketing materials, on your website, for job proposals, etc., it’s really important to have that uniformity across the company.  It’s cohesive and professional.  Uniformity doesn’t have to be boring or stale.  It just means that the headshots were all photographed by the same person with the same background, lighting, and general styling (wardrobe is formal or casual or somewhere in between).  Talk to your headshot photographer about your company and your brand to identify how your headshots can be authentic, cohesive, and a fantastic marketing tool for your business.

Do you wear glasses all the time? Then they should absolutely be in your headshot.

Because here’s the thing—your headshot should look like you.

If you wear them only sometimes, it’s up to you. But if they’re part of your everyday look, don’t leave them out just because you’re worried about glare.

There are plenty of ways I can minimize reflection—and yes, I’ve got a few creative tricks up my sleeve if needed. 😉

Let’s keep your session real, honest, and true to how you actually show up in the world.

Let’s talk color ⬇️

If your brand photos are going on your website, what you wear matters more than you might think.

We want your outfit to complement your brand—not compete with it. That’s why I always ask:

Is your site mostly white with a bold pop of color? Let’s find an outfit that matches or plays off that palette beautifully.

☑️ Solid colors > busy patterns
☑️ Neutrals + strategic color choices keep the focus on you
☑️ Brand alignment = polished, professional, intentional

Planning a branding session?

Let’s make sure your photos and website tell a cohesive story—from color to composition.
“What should I wear for my headshot?” — it’s one of the most common questions I get before a session.

Here’s my take: Start with your industry standard. What would you wear to meet a client or walk into a networking event? Then, think about how you want to show up—polished, approachable, confident?

Some clients show up in yoga pants (hey, no judgment!), but your headshot should reflect how you want to be seen professionally. A little extra effort goes a long way in making the right first impression. ✨
