Top 5 headshot tips look incredible 

What should I wear for a professional headshot? 

Choosing the right outfit can be challenging. It can make or break your headshot. We have 5 tips for your headshots session. 

#1 What to wear

Wear a long sleeve shirt or jacket.

When you do this you are eliminating the chance to have too much skin showing in your headshot photo. 

#2 Colors

Avoid busy patterns and loud colors. Wearing solid colors will keep the focus on you rather than what you are wearing.

#3 Hairstyle

Have your hair done professionally.

This is always beneficial but be sure to get it styled in a similar way that you wear your hair on a daily basis.

#4 Hydrate

Stay well hydrated.

Seems simple enough, but drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your photo session will help your skin look amazing. 

#5 Relax & Have Fun

Relax and have fun.

The goal is to get genuine smiles from you. This happens when you have real emotions during the session.

A stand out headshot begins with preparation

After you decide on the photographer for your portrait session and your appointment is set, it is time to prepare for the shoot. Here are 3 ways to get ready for your headshots:

  1. Follow a style guide. This allows you to dress appropriately and look fantastic. We always recommend clients to stay away from patterns. It is best to wear neutral colors.
  2. Hair and Makeup. For women, we suggest getting your hair and makeup done professionally before the session. This is a great way to feel confident in your headshots. When you look good you feel good.
  3. Choose the right location and background. The next step in preparing for your photo session is deciding on a location or background. This helps get the right message across to future clients. For example, if you are a surf instructor you will probably want your headshots taken in an outdoor environment. In contrast, if you are a business professional you are probably looking for a more conservative appearance. A simple conversation about the look you are going for will help us determine the best location for your session.

Skin & Beauty Tips

If you decide to have makeup done professionally be sure to make it look natural. Don’t overdo it. Make-up is meant to enhance your beauty and conceal minor blemishes. Keep in mind this is a headshot and you want it to reflect how you look if they met you in person. 

Should I wear makeup in my headshot?

  • Yes, wearing makeup will look good in photos.
  • If you do wear makeup be sure it is evenly applied.
  • Keep it to what you wear on a daily basis. So your photos reflect how you look. 
  • Avoid too much makeup. No one has perfect skin, we don't’ expect you to conceal all blemishes. Learn more about professional retouching images here.
  • Think more natural than a glamour shot.
  • Get plenty of rest the night before.
  • Stay well hydrated. This does wonders for your skin. 
  • Avoid facial treatments, waxing, and mask the day before.
  • Moisturizing your skin leading up to your session is always a great idea. 
  • Keep with your daily routine, don’t try new products right before your photos.

#4 The Right Mindset

Preparing mentally for your session is a good idea. Feel confident on the day of the shoot. Know and trust the photographer you hire. Rest, relax, and enjoy your session. Have a plan, don’t rush. Organize your outfits the night before.

  • Relax
  • Avoid alcohol the night before your session
  • Get plenty of rest
  • Exercise
  • Stick to your plan
