In our world of heavy digital presence and social online connections, a great business portrait or headshot is more important now than ever before! So, to help you achieve the best outcome and photographic experience we have put together a few tips for what to wear and how to best prepare for your next headshot session.
This is not a headshot of yesteryears…. business portraits of today lean less towards a formal look and more towards an image that highlights personality and style. Depending on where your image will live and how you will use it will determine how much leeway you will have on adding some personal flare. If your headshot has a lifestyle approach, dress in layers with colors and styles that show off your personality. If your portrait will be used in a more traditional forum than consider business attire against a solid background.

Great Hair
Hair is a game changer, for this reason choose a hairstyle that best highlights your face and is true to you. If you decide to try a new look, give yourself plenty of time to adjust to styling your new look before scheduling your session.
