Create Your Own Headshot

When planning for your headshot session, consider that all of the little decisions that you and your photographer make will shape the final outcome of the headshot.  You can create your own headshot by talking with your photographer about all of the headshot decisions.  Consider the following:

  1. Location: this has a big impact on the final images.  Do you want a more casual, outdoor headshot?  Or would you prefer a studio look?  Even in the studio, I can create a natural light image but we don’t have to worry about the weather.  Many of my clients love this option!
  2. Wardrobe: another big decision that impacts the final images.  Your profession and role will play a factor in what you wear.  If your industry calls for formal attire with a suit and tie, then you probably should wear one too.  If your industry is more casual, then you should be as well.
  3. For women, hair and makeup: consider having professional hair and makeup done before the session.  My hair and makeup artist knows how to apply makeup to account for studio lighting.  She will make you look and feel amazing!

Sample Headshot Images

Here are just a few sample headshot images from recent sessions.  The first group is from a local psychologist office.  Their headshots are friendly and warm and casual in an outdoor setting.  They are slightly different yet similar in style.  For the next office, we used a neutral grey background and everyone wore a suit jacket and white button down shirt with no tie.  For me, this is professional yet not stuffy!  At the end of the headshots, we got a great group photo that is relaxed yet professional as well.  The final two headshot images were individuals that came to the studio.  Janie needed a professional headshot on a white background.  Her image is clean and ready for LinkedIn and her company website.  The last headshot was taken in the office and blends with the other headshots photographed last year.  With a few decisions prior to your session, you can create your own headshot!

Most people step in front of the camera thinking, “I have no idea what to do.”

That’s where I come in.

Every small adjustment you see here — posture, hands, angles — is intentional. It’s what turns a quick headshot into something confident and professional.

If you want to learn the poses I rely on most, I put together a guide breaking them down.

If you’re just getting into headshot photography, it’s easy to feel like you need everything to get started.

You don’t.

A solid light setup, a reliable camera, and a lens you can trust will take you a lot further than you think.

📸 For me, that looks like a Nikon Z7II mirrorless camera + a 70–200mm lens, paired with a simple lighting setup that keeps things consistent and professional.

It’s not about having the most gear — it’s about having the right setup and knowing how to use it.
