👔 What to Wear (And What to Avoid)
Clothing plays a huge role in how polished and confident you look in your final images. Keep these tips in mind:
Stick to solid colors. Neutrals, jewel tones, and soft pastels all photograph beautifully. Avoid loud patterns or logos that distract from your face.
Dress for your industry. A headshot for a corporate executive will look different than one for a creative entrepreneur — and that’s okay. Think about the message you want to send. Bring options. I always recommend bringing 2–3 outfits. We can review them together and choose what photographs best.
Avoid too much shine. This applies to both clothes and makeup. Matte finishes tend to look more natural and professional.

💇‍♀️ Hair, Makeup & Grooming Tips
Keep it true to you. Your headshot should reflect your everyday look at your best — not a version of yourself people won’t recognize.
Women: Consider a matte foundation and lipstick to reduce shine. Light powder on your forehead and nose helps control reflections.
Men: A fresh shave or beard trim the day of is best. Bring a comb or brush and maybe a little product to tame stray hairs.
Hydrate and rest. Well-rested skin and eyes make a huge difference. Try to get a good night’s sleep the night before.
