How To Prepare

Don’t overthink it.

How you would prepare yourself to attend a standard business meeting is all you really need to do to prepare for a business headshot.

Hair and Makeup

Please arrive ready to shoot.

It's a good idea to stick to what you know works.

Experimenting with a new barber / hair stylist or new skin care products in the days leading up to the session has produced unexpected results for some people.

Clothing

Make sure your clothes are clean and wrinkle-free.

Wear something that you love, are comfortable in, and makes you feel great!

Solid colors are best.

Avoid busy patterns, stripes, and prints and extremely bright colors.

When wearing a necktie, shirts without buttons on the collar points work better than shirts with them. The collars with buttons tend to bunch up.

Jewelry

None is best. Otherwise, be conservative.

In a headshot, earrings, necklaces, chains, etc. can dominate the image and take away from the main subject, which is you.

Basic Retouching

The images you select for purchase include basic retouching.

Here is a list of what basic retouching includes:

  • Blemish removal

  • Line and wrinkle reduction (not elimination)

  • Eye whitening and brightening

  • Teeth whitening (but not “paper white” whitening)

  • Color correction

  • Under eye treatment

  • Lighting enhancements

  • Minor stray hairs

  • Background clean-up
