Tips for a Professional Corporate Headshot Session

It’s easy to be prepared for your professional corporate headshot session.  But preparation is key.  Here are a few tips to make the headshot session smooth and successful:

Before the Session

  1. Choose clothing that matches your style and brand.
  2. Try on the clothing that you plan to wear and make sure that it fits properly.  A suit jacket or buttoned shirt that doesn’t fit (either too big or too small) will show in the image.
  3. Make sure that clothing is clean, wrinkle-free, and smudge-free.  I will have a lint roller for any extra lint flying around.
  4. Get rest and hydrate the night before the session.
  5. If you wear glasses, consider them for the headshot.  Do you want to wear them for the headshot?  If so, I have some tricks that we can use to minimize glare.

During the Session

  1. Take a deep breath and relax.  These will make the most genuine headshots.  I will help by directing your pose.
  2. Tell me about any preferences you have for flattering angles or things that you want to minimize.  This will help me in posing too.
  3. As we review images together, let me know if there are things you’d like to adjust to get the best headshot possible.

After the Session

  1. Depending on the type of session,  you will either see a proof gallery and will choose your favorite images or we will have chosen our favorite image together during the session.
  2. Your favorite image(s) will be fully edited and retouched.
  3. Do let me know if there’s something that needs attention after retouching.

Newfield

Newfield has a new member of their board of directors.  They called me for a headshot session.  Since he’s just being introduced to the company, he had meetings throughout the office that day.  However, I was set up and ready to go as soon as he walked in.  Within minutes, his headshot was completed and he verified that there were several good shots in the bunch.  Then he was off to another lunch meeting.  Perfect.

Headshots and branding photos… aren't they basically the same thing? 📸

Not quite! While both are meant to represent you professionally, they serve different purposes.

Professional headshots are typically more traditional and polished. Think head-and-shoulders portraits with a clean studio backdrop or a professional office setting. They're perfect for LinkedIn profiles, company websites, business cards, and anywhere you need a professional first impression.

Branding photography, on the other hand, tells a bigger story!

We're talking full-body portraits, candid moments, interactive shots, and photos of you doing what you do best. Branding sessions can absolutely include headshots, too, but often with more personality and environmental elements that reflect your business.

The biggest difference? A headshot shows people who you are. Branding photography helps show them what you do and what it's like to work with you.

And depending on your business and goals, you might benefit from both!

Just a little reminder that if your professional headshot has been sitting on your to-do list for the last six months (or six years 😅), I'm here when you're ready!

Whether you're updating your LinkedIn, stepping into a new role, refreshing your website, or just realizing that your current headshot doesn't quite look like you anymore, having a professional photo you're confident sharing makes a difference.

And if the thought of getting in front of the camera makes you a little nervous, don't worry. You don't need to know how to pose, what to do with your hands, or how to find your best angle.

That's what I'm here for! I'll guide you through the whole process so you walk away with photos that feel natural, professional, and most importantly, like you.

Well, since I'm already here… we might as well get those family photos on the calendar! 😂📸

I know how it goes. You keep saying you need to update your family portraits, but between school, work, sports, and everything else on your calendar, another year somehow slips by.

And suddenly, the kids are a little taller, everyone's a little older, and you're still looking at the same family photo from three years ago.

Here's your reminder that family photos don't have to be complicated or perfectly planned.

I'll help you choose a location, coordinate outfits, and guide you through the session. And yes, we'll get those classic everyone-looking-at-the-camera photos, but we'll also capture the laughs, the cuddles, the silly moments, and all the little things that make your family YOUR family. 🤍

🍂 Still hoping to get family photos done this fall? I have a few weekend openings left, and I'd love to get your family in front of my camera before the season wraps up!

Head to the link in my bio to reserve your session. Let's make those family photos you've been talking about actually happen! 😉
