Do you need a new headshot for your business? Search for a local professional photographer who specializes in headshots. Then talk to your photographer about the session and plan the details. Here are a few headshot tips as you prepare for your session.

Wardrobe – start with what you normally wear to the office. Find a color that matches or compliments your brand. Choose a solid color in a tone that looks good with your skin. Bring a couple of options to your session and think about one formal look and one casual look. Make sure everything is clean and pressed and fits well.
Hair, makeup, and jewelry – I always recommend a hair and makeup artist but this is an optional service. A hair and makeup artist will create a look that is appropriate for a business headshot. This look is very matte (no shine) with eyes and lips that pop. Jewelry is great so long as it doesn’t detract from the face.
Glasses – if you wear glasses, bring them to the session. If you normally wear them all day, I like to try to get the headshot with the glasses. If glare becomes a problem, we’ll try a few tricks to get rid of the glare.

Executive Headshots for Next Decade

I have the ongoing opportunity to photograph the executives at Next Decade. Recently, we had two executives for headshots. Now that the company has moved downtown, I am able to set up for the headshots in a conference room. Once set up, the actual session is pretty quick so that the executives can immediately return to work. The new professional executive headshots can be displayed on the website and in marketing materials.
