Headshot Preparation Tips

Getting ready for your headshot session is simple, and a little preparation makes all the difference. Here are a few tips to help you feel confident and look your best:

  • Choose solid colors over patterns. Bold, simple tones photograph well and keep the focus on your face.

  • Bring a couple of outfit options. Think variety—something professional, something casual, and maybe something with a little personality.

  • Avoid logos and busy prints. These can distract from your expression and don’t translate well on camera.

  • Keep jewelry minimal. Unless it’s part of your look, simple is usually best.

  • Arrive hair and makeup ready. A natural look works great; I’ll handle light retouching if needed.

  • Pay attention to grooming. Fresh shave, trimmed beard, neat brows—little details show up in photos.

  • Rest and hydrate. A good night’s sleep and some water go a long way toward fresh, confident energy.

With these small steps, you’ll be set for strong headshots that reflect who you are. If you have any questions—or just want reassurance—reach out. I’m here to help you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
