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.

If you’ve ever wondered what actually happens during a branding session… this is it 😅

It’s not just about getting great photos — it’s about creating an experience where you can show up, relax, and let your personality come through.

The truth is...

Different images serve different purposes. The photo you use for LinkedIn might not be the same one you use for a speaking engagement, your website, or a personal brand feature.

Your audience, your industry, your role, and the message you want to communicate all influence how your images should look and feel.

That’s why thoughtful, intentional branding photography makes such a difference. When your photos align with your goals, they start working for you — helping you build trust and credibility before you ever say a word.

If you're in need of a headshot refresh, I'm your girl 😉

The difference between good branding photos and great ones..?

Your wardrobe strategy.

Every outfit in a branding session should have a purpose. Different looks help you show different sides of your brand — and give you images you can use across your website, social media, speaking engagements, and more.

Carrie absolutely nailed it with her wardrobe choices for this session. ✨

The photos might look polished…
but behind the scenes there’s a lot of laughing, hyping clients up, and figuring out the best angles together.

Branding sessions should feel relaxed, collaborative, and honestly… pretty fun.

This is what it really looks like on set. ✨
