Women’s Headshot Tips

Clothing
- Undergarments. Make sure to include the right undergarments for the tops and outfits you bring. Make sure the top lays flat and try on the outfits you plan to bring before the shoot.

- Sweaters Blazers and blouses and solid colors. Emerald green, maroon, deep blue (Jewel tones) are a standard for women.

Makeup
- Keep makeup natural and avoid shimmery eye shadow.  Touching up your eye and lip makeup before the shoot is recommended.

- Stay away from foundations with SPF. These ingredients reflect light and can cause your skin to look shiny. Select a matte finish for the best look.

- Many people hire professional make-up and hair artists for the day of the shoot. If you already have someone just give them a call or I have worked with several who I love and you can contact them directly to set something up. Just a few doors down from my studio are an amazing hair and make-up artist! Look by EMA and Mane Boutique Hair Lounge

Men’s Headshot Tips

Clothing

- Dress shirts with or without a suit jacket, a sweater with a crisp white shirt underneath, or a button-up are all great options.

Facial Hair

- Plan for at least an hour after your shave before having your headshot taken. It will allow your skin to cool and any redness will fade.

- Groom your beard or mustache and trim it so there are no strays out of place
