What to Wear for a Corporate Headshot | Houston Headshot Photographer

Tara Flannery is a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) based in The Woodlands and Conroe, TX.  Tara Flannery Photography specializes in corporate headshots and can help with what to wear for a corporate headshot.  See more headshots in the gallery.  Contact me to book your professional headshot today!

What to Wear for a Corporate Headshot

The hardest part of planning for your headshot session is deciding what to wear.  Here are a few tips to help with that process.  At Tara Flannery Photography, we will always help you every step of the way.  You can even bring several options to your session and we will choose the best options together.

  1. Start with what you wear every day to work.  This will differ among professions but will give you a great starting point.  Headshots can be casual or formal depending on your profession and the message you want to convey.
  2. Pick out some shirts, ties, and tops that you know compliment your skin tone and look great on you!
  3. Opt for solid colors (jewel tones are great if they go with your skin tone) and stay away from patterns or prints.
  4. If you choose to wear a coat, make sure it fits well and isn’t too big or too small.
  5. Ladies, I do like a little bit of jewelry.  Just make sure it doesn’t distract from the face.

Headshots for Alexis

Alexis needed updated headshots for business.  I loved the combination of outfits that she brought for her session.  In the first image, her dark grey jacket and purple button-down top are a great combination.  The jacket blends well with the background in terms of tone.  The purple shirt adds a little bit of femininity while still looking very professional.  The combination is a great option for a business professional.  In the second image, we switched to the blue-grey background and natural light setup.  Her black dress with the blue jacket is perfect for this setup as well.  The purpose of a headshot is to feature the face.  When the clothing and backgound match in tone (light, medium, dark), the focus falls on the face.  So, when planning your clothing for a corporate headshot session, think about your profession, your brand, and your style.  Then bring options!

Let’s be real—dating is already tough.

Your profile photos shouldn’t be what’s holding you back.

Here’s how personal branding photos can actually help you find your match:

✅ First Impressions Matter
In dating apps, your photo is everything. Low-quality, outdated, or awkward photos can get you passed over—before they even read your bio.

✅ You’ll Get More Views & Messages
Professional lighting, flattering angles, and natural poses = more swipes, more engagement, more chances to connect.

✅ Capture the Best Version of You
I’ll guide you through a session that feels relaxed, fun, and confident—no forced smiles or stiff poses. Just you, at your best.

✅ It’s an Investment in Yourself
You’d update your LinkedIn headshot, right? This is your personal life. A great profile photo says you care about how you show up—and that confidence is attractive.

✅ Better Photos = Better Matches
No more blurry bathroom selfies. A curated, professional look sets the tone for real connection.

This is your sign to stop relying on selfies and start showing up as the confident, attractive, amazing human you are.

📲 Contact Me to book your personal branding session—I’ll help you make an unforgettable first impression.

Let’s talk about what not to bring to your branding session…

As a professional photographer, I’m here to guide you through the entire process—but there are a few things I hope we can leave behind when it’s time to shoot.

🚫 1. Unplanned Outfits
Winging it with wardrobe almost always leads to stress or second-guessing. During your consultation, we’ll talk through outfit options, what photographs well, and how to reflect your brand’s vibe. Want a little extra help? I can connect you with one of my go-to wardrobe stylists to make the process effortless.

🚫 2. No Vision or Direction
You don’t have to show up with a Pinterest board—but having clarity around your brand message is key. That’s why I help you define your vision during our planning call so we can create images that actually work for your business.

🚫 3. A Rushed or Drained Mindset
Your session is an investment in you. So let’s make space for it. Give yourself time to rest, hydrate, and breathe beforehand—you’ll look and feel more confident (and it shows in your photos).

✨ The best part?
I walk you through all of this in your consultation. We’ll cover wardrobe, prep tips, props, posing, and everything you need to show up feeling calm, confident, and fully aligned with your brand.

Ready to create brand photos that look like you and work like magic?

Here`s why 👇🏼

As an athlete, your performance is only part of the story. The rest?

It’s about how to show up outside the arena - on social media, in press features, in sponsor meetings, and beyond.

That’s where athlete branding comes in, and where a powerful, professional athlete headshot can make all the difference.

Today’s athletes are more than competitors. You`re public figures. Influencers. Brands. And your headshot isn’t just a nice-to-have - it’s a strategic tool that opens doors and builds trust. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏼

Your visual brand should include👇🏼

✅ A polished headshot
✅ Actions shots
✅ Lifestyle Content

Because when people see you - the full, confident, current version of you - they’re more than likely to invest, connect, and remember.

This isn’t about vanity. it’s about visibility.

If your photos are outdated, inconsistent, or just not aligned with where you’re headed, I’d love to help you change that.

📩 Contact me to book your athlete branding session TODAY - let’s build a visual brand that works as hard as you do.
