Hey there! So, you're gearing up for a headshot session? That's awesome! Think of your headshot as your virtual handshake, the first impression you make online. With around 93% of HR professionals and recruiters scrolling through LinkedIn, with 2 in 3 of them peeking at Facebook, and over half of them checking out Twitter, your headshot truly matters.


Here's a little secret: a great headshot isn't just about looking good; it's about showing off your unique personality. Whether you're a chef, an educator, a writer, or anything in between, your headshot should scream you. Start with a little exercise and jot down some keywords that capture your essence. If you have props that tell your story, bring them along. There are no wrong answers!


We'll take a variety of shots with different outfits so you can pick your favorites. Think about where you’ll be using your headshot—LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram—and let’s tailor your look to match that platform. Even though we'll mostly focus on your lovely face, make sure your entire outfit is on point. You never know, we might snap a shot or two that includes more of your body. Your everyday style is a great starting point and here's a quick list of things to keep in mind.

  1. Solid Colors: Choose solid, neutral colors like blues, grays, and whites. They keep the focus on your face and are universally flattering.
  2. Strong Collars and Necklines: Opt for tops with structured collars or necklines. They frame your face well and add a professional touch.
  3. Complementary Tones: Wear colors that complement your skin tone and eye color. This enhances your natural features and makes you look vibrant.
  4. Professional Attire: Go for business casual or professional outfits, especially if the headshot is for a professional setting. A blazer or a well-fitted shirt can work wonders.
  5. Layering: Adding layers like a blazer, cardigan, or jacket can add depth and interest to your look.


Most importantly, have fun! A relaxed and happy vibe shines through in photos, making you look confident, approachable, and truly authentic. Laugh, smile, and be yourself. So, come ready to enjoy the session, and let’s capture the real you—your personality, your charm, and everything that makes you unique! This is your moment to shine, so let’s make it a memorable experience.
