The Headshot Photograph

Whether you need a business headshot or acting headshot, the headshot photograph is essential to your success.  Dare I say, it’s the number one, first and foremost place to start or refresh your image.  Small businesses rely on the face of the company and that’s YOU!  Larger corporations need to show the unity of their teams and how they are all working towards the same goal – to serve the client.  Similarly, actors need a headshot when starting a career in acting and also frequent updates.  Make sure your headshot is 1) CURRENT, 2) TRUE and 3) PROFESSIONAL!  There are so many bad headshots out there.  It truly pains me.  You have literally seconds to make a first impression.

Examples of Recent Headshots

Here are a few of the recent headshots for business and acting.  Natalie needed an updated headshot for work.  We worked together to get just the right pose for her.  Connor’s mom contacted me about his headshot.  He’s getting ready to enter the workforce and now has a fantastic headshot for his resume and LinkedIn profile.  Ready to tackle the job force!  Simon is an actor, just getting started with a company out of New York City.  He needed a headshot to send and we got three different looks for him.  Finally, Jordan is a lawyer with a firm that I have photographed for a few years.  His new headshot will be featured with the rest of the company and fit perfectly!

What should you wear for your headshot session?
It depends on how you want to show up.

Your outfit sets the tone — and the right level of polish helps you appear confident, credible, and uniquely you.

Here are 4 levels of formality to help you choose the best look for your headshots 👇🏻

1️⃣ The Modern Suit Jacket
Crisp, structured, and powerful. Perfect for executives, attorneys, and leadership roles.

2️⃣ Soft Professional (No Jacket)
A sleek blouse or polished top with clean lines. Professional without being stiff — great for coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs.

3️⃣ Elevated Casual (Sweaters & Knits)
A fitted knit or stylish sweater gives an approachable, warm, and modern vibe. Ideal for creatives, educators, or small business owners.

4️⃣ Casual Short Sleeve
Simple, solid, and flattering. Feels relaxed but still polished — great for wellness pros, lifestyle brands, or startup teams.

✨ Quick Styling Tips:
– Stick to solid colors that flatter your skin tone
– Skip busy prints & distracting accessories
– Choose wrinkle-free, well-fitting pieces
– Bring a backup outfit or layering option!

🎯 Not sure what’s best for your brand?

We go over wardrobe during your pre-session consultation — so you’ll feel 100% confident in what you wear and how you show up.

His headshot made him more money… and here’s why 👇🏼

When my videographer finally swapped his profile photo for the professional headshot I took, something changed.

✅ More responses to cold DMs
✅ Better leads
✅ Real revenue growth

All from one simple update.

It’s not magic — it’s psychology.

🤝 People do business with people.

They want to see the face behind the brand, connect with a real human, and feel like they can trust who they’re hiring or buying from.

Your headshot is often the first impression you make online. Make sure it actually represents the real you — confident, approachable, and ready for the opportunities you want to attract.

These 5 photos will completely transform your real estate brand 👇🏼

Whether you’re a solo agent building a personal brand or a growing team trying to stand out in a crowded market—your photos matter.

Because real estate is personal. People want to see who they’re working with and feel like they can trust you.

Here are 5 must-have brand photos I recommend for every real estate professional:

📸 Professional Team or Solo Portraits
Polished but approachable. Whether it’s a team shot or a solo headshot, these are the foundation of your brand.

📸 Cohesive Headshots
A unified look builds brand recognition and creates a stronger first impression—especially across platforms.

📸 Lifestyle Images
Show yourself (or your team) in action: walking a property, chatting with clients, reviewing listings. These help clients picture the experience of working with you.

📸 Detail Shots
From signage to coffee cups and closing folders, detail shots add depth and personality to your brand story.

📸 On-Location Photos
Highlight your market and your vibe—whether it’s downtown, the suburbs, or somewhere in between.
