Confidence is important. Choose an outfit that you are comfortable in and feel your best.
Darker tones for tops are best for lighter skin as they add depth and contrast. The opposite is true for darker skin tones.
Avoid wearing all white unless it is worn with a suit jacket or sweater on top as it tends to lose detail.
Bring your outfit with you and change into it just before your session to avoid wrinkles.
If wearing a polo, consider the wrinkle free options, they work best.
Go with outfits that do not have excessive patterns, bold stripes or logos. Solid colors are the best.
Watch the neckline. V-necks are great and accentuate your features but avoid going too low.
If you can’t decide, bring multiple outfits and we can help you decide what looks best.
Remove everything from your pockets such as wallets, keys and phones as they can be visible in photos.
Avoid sleeveless top

Smile: At the end of the day, the key to a wonderful business headshot is your smile. It might take you a few moments to relax in front of the camera. Once you’re comfortable, stare straight down the barrel of the lens and think of someone you love. That feeling shows up as a beautiful smile in your mouth and your eyes.
Jewelry: Choose simple earrings and necklaces. Keep the focus on the face. Big statement jewelry takes away from the headshot.
Glasses: Many clients ask us if they can wear their glasses for the headshot. Yes, definitely. A couple of tips. If we are doing the headshots outside, the only issue is if you have transition lenses because they will be dark. If you have a pair without the transition lenses, they would work better. As for glare, we have many ways to avoid that so no worries.
