How to Take a Headshot

Here are some tips for headshots. Talk to your headshot photographer about your goals, what you’ll be using the image for, and your line of work. All of these things will help you and your photographer create the perfect headshot for you.

Wardrobe: it really starts here. Think about your typical company wardrobe. Is it relaxed and casual or formal? What line of work are you in? How do your customers and clients dress? What you choose for wardrobe will have an influence over the type and style of lighting and background we will use for the headshot. If you prefer dark colors, a medium or darker background will be best. If you like a light or colorful wardrobe, a white or light background will be best.
For ladies, please consider hair and makeup. A hair and makeup artist will know exactly how much makeup you’ll need for studio lighting. It seems like a lot when you first see it but when you see the images with studio lighting, it’s perfect. You will look your natural best self with a carefully executed makeup application.
For men, please make sure that if you’re wearing a suit jacket, it fits! Also, make sure that shirt and jacket are pressed and wrinkle-free.

Headshot Examples

Whether you’re a financial services company or the latest yoga-inspired granola producer, your customers need to see YOU! You are the face of the business and brand. Now, more than ever, meeting people virtually is an integral part of business. A headshot on your website and social media accounts is the first introduction to your clients, customers, and consumers. This first introduction says volumes about who you are, what you do, and what you stand for. Let’s schedule a headshot session that reflects your business and conveys a message to customers.

Here`s the truth 👇🏻

Your team needs updated headshots, but coordinating individual sessions? That`s a scheduling nightmare.

What if I told you there`s a better way? ✨

I recently set up a headshot station at a corporate event, and it was a game-changer. Employees funneled in and out throughout the event, and everyone left with polished, professional headshots—no stress, no complicated scheduling, just done.

Here`s why companies are loving this:

📸 Consistent branding – Everyone gets the same professional quality and cohesive look across your website and marketing materials

⏱️ Time efficient – No coordinating 50+ individual appointments. Your team gets it done in one event.

💼 Boosts credibility – Professional headshots elevate your entire team`s presence online and in client-facing materials

🎉 Low-pressure environment – The event atmosphere keeps it relaxed and fun, not awkward and formal

And here`s the best part ⬇️

With my new software, each person gets their own private proof gallery to choose their favorite shot. No waiting, no back-and-forth—they`re in control.

Your employees get professional images they actually feel confident using. Your company gets cohesive, credible branding. Win-win.

📅 Ready to add a headshot station to your next company event? DM me to set up your consultation ASAP!

Let’s be honest 👇🏻

If you’re scaling your business in 2026, but your photos are still from 2021… something doesn’t align.

Outdated visuals do more than make your website look old — they quietly tell potential clients that your business hasn’t evolved.

📉 They can lower trust.
📉 Confuse your audience about who you are today.
📉 And make your brand feel disconnected from the level you’re actually operating at.

You’ve worked hard to grow your business — your visuals should reflect that.

Authentic, elevated, and aligned imagery shows that you’re confident in your direction and ready for new opportunities.

✨ Let’s create photos that position you where you’re headed, not where you’ve been.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

If you’re ending 2025 with the same headshot you had in 2022, there’s a good chance it’s no longer telling the full story of who you are today.

You’ve grown. Your career has evolved. Your confidence, presence, and expertise have too.

And your headshot should reflect the current version of you — not the one from three years ago.

Here’s why an updated headshot matters:

✨ It builds trust
✨ It supports your career growth
✨ It aligns with major milestones

It’s time for a new headshot if you’ve ⬇️

✔️ Been promoted
✔️ Changed roles or industries
✔️ Stepped into leadership
✔️ Started a new business
✔️ Made a noticeable change in your appearance
✔️ Updated your personal brand
✔️ Outgrown the “old you”

✨ Bonus tip:

A good rule of thumb — if your headshot is more than 2 years old or doesn’t look like the person someone would see walking into a meeting today… it’s time.

You deserve a photo that represents who you are now — confident, polished, and stepping into your next chapter.

My branding sessions go far beyond “just photos.” We’ll start with a personalized consultation to talk through your brand colors, style, and message — then plan a session that feels intentional, aligned, and true to you.

You can choose from two session options designed to fit your goals:

✨ Basic Branding Session: 3 looks, 9 final images, and 1.5 hours of photography.

✨ Premium Branding Session: 4 looks, 12 final images, 2 hours of photography, plus a branding video to bring your story to life.

By the end, you’ll walk away with a full collection of cohesive, high-quality visuals that represent your next chapter — confident, polished, and unmistakably you.

If 2026 is your year to scale, let’s make sure your photos reflect it.
