Your headshot should reflect your personal brand and the image you want to convey. Choose attire that is professional, polished, and aligns with your industry. Avoid busy patterns or distracting accessories that may take away from your face. Often times we avoid patterns such as Paisley due to its busy nature.

Attire varies from industry to industry. For example, a lawyer headshot would look different than a realtor headshot. 

A fresh haircut and well-groomed appearance can make a world of difference in your headshots. Schedule any haircuts or grooming appointments a few days before your session to ensure a natural and polished look. Don’t forget to trim your nails and moisturize your skin for a flawless finish.

Spend some time practicing different facial expressions and poses in front of a mirror. Experiment with angles that flatter your features and convey confidence. Remember to relax and breathe naturally to capture authentic expressions.

A good night’s sleep can do wonders for your appearance. Aim to get plenty of rest the night before your headshot session to minimize dark circles and ensure you look refreshed and energized for your professional headshots.

 Stay hydrated in the days leading up to your headshot session to keep your skin looking radiant. Avoid excessive alcohol and sodium, which can cause bloating and puffiness.

 Be sure to communicate any specific preferences or concerns with your headshot photographer before the session. Whether it’s your preferred side, a particular backdrop, or retouching preferences, clear communication ensures you get the professional headshots you envision.

Lastly, remember to relax and enjoy the process! A positive attitude can make all the difference in capturing natural and engaging headshots. Trust in your headshot photographer’s expertise and let your personality shine through.
