Tips for a Great Headshot Session
How to Get the Most Out of Your Headshot Session
A great headshot doesn't happen by accident. Here are practical tips to ensure you walk away with photos you're proud of.
Before Your Session
Rest well. A good night's sleep shows on your face. Avoid alcohol the night before — it causes puffiness and dulls your skin.
Communicate your goals. Let us know where these photos will be used — LinkedIn, company website, speaking engagements — so we can tailor the look. Bring examples of headshots you like.
Practice your expression. Spend five minutes in front of a mirror finding your natural smile. The goal isn't a forced grin — it's the expression that says "competent and approachable."
During Your Session
Trust the process. We'll guide you through every pose and angle. You don't need to know what to do — that's our job. The most common feedback we hear: "That was way easier than I expected."
Speak up if something feels off. Collar sitting weird? Hair in your face? Tell us. Small adjustments make a big difference, and we'd rather fix it immediately than discover it in editing.
Relax your shoulders. Tension collects in your shoulders and neck. Take a deep breath, roll your shoulders back, and let them drop. This single adjustment transforms your posture.
After Your Session
Choose your selects promptly. We'll send a proof gallery within 48 hours. The faster you pick your favorites, the faster we deliver finals.
