How to Prepare
Business Headshots
A few days before
- Major changes like hair cuts and color and waxing should be done at least one week out
- Avoid tanning and sunburns!!
- Select clothes you will bring and make sure all are clean and ironed if needed.
- Moisturize and hydrate!
Wardrobe
- Dress like you're going to an interview
- Solid color or white shirts work best
- Avoid stripes and patterns
- Darker jacket
- Classic tie
- Avoid strapless tops and spaghetti straps
- Avoid baggy clothes- they will make you look bigger
- Jewelry should compliment and not overwhelm- the focus is YOU after all!
- If you wear glasses, wear them!
Makeup
- Should be done slightly heavier than normal but still be natural looking
- Make sure your foundation matches your skin tone- otherwise the difference will show between your neck and face
- Avoid false eyelashes
- If you do not normally wear make up- consider having your make up done for the shoot! Ask me about options.
- Hair should be clean and styled as you normally wear it- avoid fancy hairstyles!

Wardrobe:
- Comfortable- you need to be able to move in your clothes
- Layers are great- gives you interest and versatility
- Jewel tones (blue, red, green, purple, pink etc) paired with black, white and denim photograph really well
- Avoid Neon, graphic tees and big logos
- Plan the whole outfit- including shoes and accessories!
- Love how you look in it!
- Families: Wear coordinating colors but not necessarily matching
