Tips for Professional Headshots

Tips for  Professional Headshots

Not knowing how to prepare for your headshot can be intimidating. The good news? I am here to help with some tips for professional headshots, I hope these few tips eliminate the stress of getting your picture taken.

One of the most important things about your shoot is the clothing you wear.

  1. Wrinkled clothes. I agree, sometimes there aren’t enough hours in the day to accomplish everything you need to. However, this is your chance to show off that you are an adult (even if you’re pretending) and someone to be taken seriously. Wrinkled clothes give off the impression that the situation isn’t important enough for you to iron your shirt. My suggestion? Prepare your clothes for the shoot the night before. This way, you’ll have plenty of time to iron that shirt that will make your eyes pop.
  2. Avoid busy patterns. The focus of this picture is solely about you. Solid colors really do you justice in this situation, so that will always be my go-to suggestion. However, I also understand that solid colors aren’t everyone’s style and who am I  to tell you to not let yourself show some personal expression? If this is more your jam, then I propose a compromise: only one pattern. If your shirt has a design to it (stripes, polka dots, or abstract) pair it with a solid blazer or cardigan or avoid statement jewelry.
  3. “Unprofessional” Attire. Ladies – this means short skirts, ill-fitting clothes, logos and tank tops. Avoid showing bra straps.
  4. “Unprofessional” Attire. Gentlemen – stray away from light wash jeans, logos, and ill-fitting clothes. Depending on your job or the kind of job you want, your outfit choice should represent that.
  5. CEO? Suit and tie is appropriate. Freelance journalist? Business casual is more likely your style of choice, so stick to a blazer and a nice shirt.

If you are still struggling with clothing, please reach out and I am happy to help and give you some suggestions!!

Better yet, you can bring a few choices in and I will help you put something together!!!
