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!

You’re ready to make 2025 YOUR YEAR… but does your brand reflect the powerhouse agent you are? 🏡✨

In real estate, YOU are the brand. Before a client ever picks up the phone, they’re looking you up online—so what impression are you making?

Your brand should work as hard as you do. 💪🏼 Let’s make 2025 the year you attract more clients, close more deals, and show up with confidence. ✨
