A great professional headshot is more than just a photo—it’s your first impression, whether on LinkedIn, your company website, or social media.
To ensure you look your best, start with choosing the right outfit. Solid colors and classic styles work best, avoiding busy patterns or logos that may distract. Grooming is key, so style your hair naturally and, if needed, schedule a trim or touch-up before your session. If you wear makeup, keep it polished yet natural, and bring powder to reduce shine. Getting a good night’s sleep and staying hydrated will help your skin look fresh and radiant. Finally, relax and trust your photographer—confidence is the secret ingredient to a standout headshot!
