What to Wear for a Headshot Session

Planning your wardrobe for any photo shoot is the hardest part of the entire process.  Planning what to wear for your headshot session is an important part of the success of the headshot session.  Think about your brand, the colors on your website, the industry that you’re in, and what you typically wear to the office.  This is a good starting place for deciding what to wear.  The classic black suit jacket is always right unless you prefer to be more casual.  Darker, solid colors are best instead of patterns.  Ladies should think about necklines and jewelry.  I like jewelry in a headshot but just be sure that it doesn’t distract from the face.  We want the focal point of the headshot to be the face.

Planning the location for your headshot session is another important consideration.  See the article on about How to Choose a Location for Your Headshot Session.

Headshots for Shannon

Shannon has changed careers and is now a real estate agent.  Before she can even begin with open houses or showings, she needs a headshot for her business cards.  We had a fantastic headshot session with a variety of backgrounds, lighting, and posing.  We even used my home as the backdrop for some images.  Realtors need multiple headshots for all of the different advertising they do in different publications.  These headshots will give her some variety and a great start to her marketing materials.

What’s my favorite thing to see as a photographer? 👇🏻

My clients actually using their photos.

Profile pictures. Websites. Social media. Marketing.
Not just sitting in a gallery… but showing up in the places that matter.

Because the truth is—your photos are often the first impression people have of you or your business.

And when they’re intentional, consistent, and professional… it shows.

That’s the difference between “just a photo” and something that actually works for you.

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.
