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
