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.

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.

Let’s be real—getting your photo taken can feel super awkward.
You’re standing in front of a camera, trying to look natural… and it doesn’t always come naturally. That’s where I come in.

My goal isn’t just to take a great headshot—it’s to make sure you feel great while we’re doing it.

🗣 I keep things casual and conversational so you’re not stuck in your head.
🙌🏼 I give real-time encouragement to help you feel supported and at ease.
📲 And I stream your images to an iPad so you can see exactly how things are going—and speak up if something feels off.

Because the best photos don’t happen when you’re perfectly posed.
They happen when you’re relaxed, confident, and feel like yourself.
