How to plan your realtor headshots

For realtors, the professional headshot is the first step in the marketing process.  All of your marketing materials (business cards, signs, websites, banners, etc.) require a professional headshot.  So, let’s plan your realtor headshots.

First, find a professional photographer in your area that specializes in headshots.  Yes, anyone can take a headshot and I’m sure that you have a fantastic selfie.  However, a professional photographer will use lighting, posing, and professional equipment to create a high quality image that can be used on printed marketing materials.  That selfie will not print well on your billboard or sign!  And a professional who specializes in headshots will easily guide the session for exactly what you need.

Next, plan for the session with your photographer.  Discuss location, background, and wardrobe.  Who is your broker and what colors are prominent in the brand?  Make sure the clothing and background coordinate with the brand colors.  A simple studio background will allow for the headshot to be used for a variety of marketing materials.

Finally, relax and have fun during your headshot session!  Talk to your photographer and just be yourself.  Those relaxed smiles and poses will make the resulting images confident, warm, and welcoming.

Realtor headshots for Elia

Elia just got her real estate license in the state of Texas.  She’s ready to start a new career and needed a headshot.  Her broker is Keller Williams The Woodlands and the brand colors are mostly red and white.  Elia was reviewing the business cards and showed me a few of her favorite designs.  This discussion led to our choice of her grey sweater and her red sweater.  The dark grey background will look great with the darker business card and her headshot will fit seamlessly into the template.  She’s ready for marketing her new business.  All my best Elia in your new adventures!

One day, this will be a memory. Don’t miss capturing it.

Senior year has a way of slipping by faster than you expect… and before you know it, they’re graduating.

These photos aren’t just for now—they’re something you’ll look back on for years to come, remembering exactly who they were in this moment.

If you’ve been putting it off, this is your reminder—time is running out and spots are limited.

Shutter speed is one of those things that feels confusing… until it clicks. 😉📸

For headshots, you don’t need anything complicated — just a solid, consistent range and an understanding of how your lighting plays into it.

If you’re a new photographer trying to figure all of this out, I’ve put together a few resources to help you get started — from gear to posing and more.

🚨 QUICK! TIME IS RUNNING OUT 👇🏻

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.
