Headshot Tips

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

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. ✨
