HEADSHOTS


Corporate headshots not only help you make a great first and lasting impression, but they also build trust and reinforce professionalism. A professional headshot is memorable and helps you stand out from a crowd, so it certainly should be considered a networking must-have. We are in the era of technology, between virtual meetings and the use of platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn, your image will be the first introduction made. A quality headshot will allow you to present yourself in the exact way you would like to be perceived. A great photographer will capture your true essence and help you establish your digital image. That's where we come in.


When purchasing a professional headshot you're not only paying for a quality product you can be proud of, but also the photographer's expertise, posing guidance, studio space, lighting equipment, camera, lenses, photo editing, and business expenses (advertising, rent, insurance, accounting, lawyer fees, and travel fees).

PREPARING FOR YOUR HEADSHOT


There’s a lot more to having your photo taken than just turning up at the studio and smiling at the camera, so its worthwhile spending the time to prepare yourself properly.


YOUR WARDROBE. The first question we get asked is "what should I wear?" Well, what you wear for your headshot photograph is just as important to the overall image as your expression. Clothing should simply enhance you and your features and keep the focus of attention on your face. We ask everyone to bring along a number of different outfits with them in various styles and colours. That way we can see what looks good on you, works well on camera and is appropriate for your target audience. We ask you to bring mainly tops but some bottoms too if you want some 3/4 length shots). We have 3 simple wardrobe rules:

RULE #1


You have to love it!



We don’t want to shoot you in anything that you don’t feel comfortable wearing. If you don’t feel comfortable, it will show in the photos, so please consider wearing something you rock in.

RULE #2


If you don't bring, it we can’t shoot it.


If you're contemplating wearing something, bring it with you. Have some fun and accessorize. If you feel your wardrobe is missing something, go shopping. Keep the tags on - you can always return what you don’t want.

RULE #3


Be yourself.


Bring your personality into the shot. We love bold colours, so we suggest bringing a wide variety that reflects you. It’s amazing how many times something has looked amazing on camera that we didn’t initially think would work. And vice versa.

I am awkward in front of a camera. Do you help with posing?

Absolutely. Most of my clients say this before their session. I guide you through posing, posture, facial expressions, and micro-adjustments so you look confident and natural. My job is to make the experience relaxed and enjoyable while capturing your best angles.

What should I wear for my headshot?

Solid colours, well-fitted clothing, and simple patterns work best. I recommend bringing 2–3 outfit options so we can choose what photographs best. Once you book, you will receive a preparation guide with wardrobe tips to help you feel confident and camera-ready.
