Headshot Tips: Style

Your own personal style is important to your headshot.  Bring your personality and your distinct voice to your headshot.  Not every headshot needs to be formal and corporate.  It can be what you want to make it so have fun with it!  Consider your position, company, and your next steps when styling.  Consider a few ways to make your own style shine and if you need help, reach out and ask!

  1. Color: bring in color to your wardrobe in the form of a jacket, dress, scarf, or other accessory
  2. Formality: clothing can be formal or casual, depending on your industry and role
  3. Glasses: do you wear glasses all the time?  Do you want them in your headshot?
  4. Pose: poses can be formal or casual, depending on your style.  A tighter crop on the headshot serves a purpose but wider crop can tell more of a story and show your style.
  5. Expression: do you want to convey a more serious tone (non-smiling or a small smile)?  Or are you in a role that needs a warm, welcoming smile?

Headshot Examples

I love the purple of Karli’s dress for her headshot.  It’s unique and different and fits perfectly with her bubbly personality, role, and style.  Everyone has their own unique style – embrace that in your headshot and add your own personality.

Your 2026 version is calling, and she looks good. 📞✨

As we dive into the new year, the businesses that will stand out are the ones that lead with clarity and consistency.

When your entire team shows up with cohesive, high-quality headshots, it sends a message:

✅ We are professional
✅ We are a unit
✅ We pay attention to detail

These final results show exactly what happens when you prioritize your brand’s visual identity.

Investment in yourself is the only investment with a guaranteed return. How are you choosing to show up for your clients this year?

New year, new standards. DM me to discuss a headshot refresh for you OR your whole team!
Here's the truth 👇🏻

Your professional image is often the first impression potential clients and partners have of your expertise.

Starting 2026 with updated, polished headshots isn't just about looking good—it's about showing up with the credibility your experience deserves.

Whether it's for your website, LinkedIn, or your entire team's branding, professional imagery sends a clear message: you're serious about your business.

Ready to make 2026 your most credible year yet? 

Let's create headshots that match your expertise. Link in bio to schedule your consultation. 📸

You know what's quietly costing you clients? 👇🏼

 Inconsistent branding.

When your team's headshots are all over the place—different backgrounds, different lighting, some from 2019—it's doing more damage than you think:

❌ Confuses your audience 
❌ Makes your business feel less established 
❌ Creates hesitation before booking 
❌ Forces you to "reintroduce" yourself every time you post

But here's what happens when your visual branding is cohesive and professional:

✔️ Builds recognition over time 
✔️ Makes showing up online easier 
✔️ Reinforces professionalism 
✔️ Creates momentum and trust

This is why I bring headshot stations directly to your corporate events—your entire team gets updated, consistent imagery without anyone having to schedule 47 individual appointments.

One session. Cohesive branding. Done.

You don't need to BE confident to show up for a headshot session. The session creates the confidence.

Most professionals avoid updating their headshots because they think they need to feel confident first. But that's backwards. 

My clients are always surprised by how great their photos look—and that instant confidence boost changes how they show up in their business.

Here's what happens when you work with me: 👇🏼

→ I guide your posing so you look natural and professional
→ I direct your expression so your personality shines through
→ I handle the lighting so you look polished and approachable
→ You walk away with imagery that makes you feel like the expert you already are

You don't need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. That's my job. Your job is just to show up.

Ready to stop waiting until you "feel confident enough"? Let's create the confidence together.
