Should I wear a tie for my headshot?

Planning for your headshot session doesn’t need to be stressful!  When you book a headshot session with Tara Flannery Photography, you also get help along the way.  I will send you a welcome magazine with information about what to wear for your headshot session.  I also have a Pinterest board with ideas about what to wear.  After specializing in headshots for a number of years, I’ve seen it all!  I can help guide you towards the best look for you.  Start with your industry and role.  Do you need to have a more formal appearance?  Or do you need to be more approachable and open?  If you bring several options to your session, we can work through them together.

Headshots for Levent

Levent contacted me through LinkedIn about a headshot session.  He brought coat and tie to the session and we talked about the options.  With the Executive Headshot Session, he was able to choose three final images to be fully edited and retouched.  He chose one with the tie and one without so that he can use each headshot for different purposes.  For example, he can use the headshot with the tie for formal business presentations or sales meetings.  He can use the headshot without the tie for LinkedIn or other social media platforms.  So the answer to this question depends on your industry, role and the mood that you’re trying to convey.  But don’t worry, I’ll help along the way!

Your 2026 version is calling, and she looks good. 📞✨

As we dive into the new year, the businesses that will stand out are the ones that lead with clarity and consistency.

When your entire team shows up with cohesive, high-quality headshots, it sends a message:

✅ We are professional
✅ We are a unit
✅ We pay attention to detail

These final results show exactly what happens when you prioritize your brand’s visual identity.

Investment in yourself is the only investment with a guaranteed return. How are you choosing to show up for your clients this year?

New year, new standards. DM me to discuss a headshot refresh for you OR your whole team!
Here's the truth 👇🏻

Your professional image is often the first impression potential clients and partners have of your expertise.

Starting 2026 with updated, polished headshots isn't just about looking good—it's about showing up with the credibility your experience deserves.

Whether it's for your website, LinkedIn, or your entire team's branding, professional imagery sends a clear message: you're serious about your business.

Ready to make 2026 your most credible year yet?

You know what's quietly costing you clients? 👇🏼

 Inconsistent branding.

When your team's headshots are all over the place—different backgrounds, different lighting, some from 2019—it's doing more damage than you think:

❌ Confuses your audience 
❌ Makes your business feel less established 
❌ Creates hesitation before booking 
❌ Forces you to "reintroduce" yourself every time you post

But here's what happens when your visual branding is cohesive and professional:

✔️ Builds recognition over time 
✔️ Makes showing up online easier 
✔️ Reinforces professionalism 
✔️ Creates momentum and trust

This is why I bring headshot stations directly to your corporate events—your entire team gets updated, consistent imagery without anyone having to schedule 47 individual appointments.

One session. Cohesive branding. Done.

You don't need to BE confident to show up for a headshot session. The session creates the confidence.

Most professionals avoid updating their headshots because they think they need to feel confident first. But that's backwards. 

My clients are always surprised by how great their photos look—and that instant confidence boost changes how they show up in their business.

Here's what happens when you work with me: 👇🏼

→ I guide your posing so you look natural and professional
→ I direct your expression so your personality shines through
→ I handle the lighting so you look polished and approachable
→ You walk away with imagery that makes you feel like the expert you already are

You don't need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. That's my job. Your job is just to show up.

Ready to stop waiting until you "feel confident enough"? Let's create the confidence together.
