First: Makes sure you bring enough clothes for choices. And make sure they’re ironed!   Nothing worse than lots of wrinkled clothes or great clothes but only one outfit and you wish you had more options. Sometimes it’s best-especially in the summer—to not wear the outfit you’re going to be photographed in—so there won’t be sweat stains on it. We have lots of A/C and a changing room at the studio.

Second: Bring accessories—extra ties for men; women-extra earrings and necklaces for more options.

Third: Bring entire outfits. This means pants and shoes. Yes, it’s a headshot session but often we like to provide you with a three quarter length option or even full length, like sitting. So just in case bring those dress pants and shoes.

Fourth: Your hair—don’t get a haircut the day before your session. Give it a week or so to see how it will look just in case it’s been cut a little short.

Fifth: Stay out of the sun! Don’t come to your session with raccoon eyes and red face because you were out in the sun with sun glasses. If you do happen to be outdoors the few days before your session use plenty of sun screen.

Bonus:

Make sure you get enough sleep and are properly hydrated—your skin will thank you.

Women: don’t wear makeup with SPF—it’s designed to bounce sunlight back from your face but under photo lighting it actually makes you look shiny. Bring a little extra powder for touchups.

Consider a professional hair and makeup artist. We have several recommended ones you can choose from and it can make a huge difference.

Allow plenty of time to get to the headshot session.
