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.

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.

What are volume headshots? 🤔⬇️

They’re a quick, efficient way to give professionals access to high-quality headshots—without needing a full session.

Perfect for office buildings, coworking spaces, and companies that want to offer something valuable to their teams or tenants. Everyone signs up for a time slot, gets guided through a short session, and walks away with a polished, professional image.

Simple, streamlined, and a great experience all around.

Want to bring this to your office or building?
