What should I wear for my headshot?

This is probably the hardest part of preparing for your headshot session: finding something to wear!  Depending on the type of headshot session, you may be able to bring a couple of options.  With corporate headshots where an entire team or company is being photographed, you probably will not have the time to change clothing.  However, if you have scheduled an individual headshot session, I definitely encourage people to bring a couple of clothing options for headshots.  Some people bring an entire wardrobe and that’s great!  We can pick and choose the very best options for the backgrounds and lighting.

Start with your industry and what you would typically wear to work.  If this is appropriate for the type of headshot that you need, it’s a great place to start.  Choose solid colors over stripes or patterns if possible.  A strong neckline or jacket is always a great option.  For women, keep makeup natural but apply a little bit more than what you would normally wear.  Wear jewelry but make sure it’s not distracting to the face.  Finally, try on your options and choose what you like best and what you feel good in.  A confident headshot is always a winner!

Headshots for Rock Solid Precast

Corporate headshots for Rock Solid Precast involved the company logo on everyone’s shirt.  But what surprised me was the variation in the shirts.  Everyone had a different color or pattern with the logo mostly on the left shoulder.  So even though everyone was wearing a company shirt, individual personalities, colors, and styles make each headshot unique.  Rock Solid Precast manufactures large concrete blocks for drainage.  It fits that the website is mostly a steel or concrete grey in color.  These headshots with the grey background and colorful shirts will be a perfect match!

Everyone says “I’m not photogenic”… until they’re actually in front of a camera with someone who knows how to pose them.

A little direction. A little encouragement. A few tiny adjustments…and suddenly they’re like, “Wait—THAT’S me?”

You don’t need to be photogenic.
You just need support.

✨ What you feel in the moment and what the camera captures aren’t always the same — and that’s the magic of professional photography.

The tiny adjustments, the angles, the lighting, the direction… it all comes together to create images that feel polished, confident, and completely you.

Here's the truth 👇🏻

The location isn't just about pretty backdrops. It's about matching the vibe to YOUR brand and YOUR audience.

When we plan your branding session, we talk through:
→ What you do
→ Who you're speaking to
→ What problems you're solving

That tells us everything. Do we want warm and inviting? Professional and polished? Industrial and edgy?

I've got access to tons of locations (hello, Peerspace 👋🏻), and we'll look through them together to find the perfect fit for your brand. You don't need to figure this out alone—that's literally my job.

Your photos should feel like YOU, and that starts with choosing a space that makes sense for the people you serve.

Let’s be honest—being a woman in a male-dominated industry means you work twice as hard to be taken seriously.

And whether we like it or not, people make decisions about your credibility in seconds… often before you ever speak a word.

That’s where powerful, intentional branding comes in.

Women don’t need softer visuals.

Women don’t need to “blend in.”

Women need imagery that reflects the authority, confidence, and leadership they already bring to the table.

Here’s what strong branding does for women in male-led spaces:

✨ Positions you as the expert — not the exception

✨ Shows strength without losing authenticity

✨ Communicates confidence instantly

✨ Helps potential clients trust you faster

✨ Builds a visual presence that speaks for you—especially in rooms you aren’t in yet

Branding isn’t about looking perfect.

It’s about showing up as the most powerful, grounded version of you—and making sure the world sees it too.

If you’re ready to elevate your presence and build a brand that stands strong (and unapologetically feminine) in any industry…
