Preparing for Your Headshot Mini Session
A little preparation goes a long way! Here’s what to expect and how to get camera-ready.
Before Your Session
* We’ll confirm your name and email address when you arrive.
* Bring any quick touch-up items you like (comb, lip balm, powder).
* Take a few deep breaths, you’re in good hands!
During Your Session
* Sessions are quick and efficient. Expect about 5 minutes of shooting.
* We’ll capture several angles, expressions, and poses to give you variety.
* Don’t worry about knowing how to pose—your photographer will guide you.
After Your Session
* Within 24 hours, you’ll receive an email with a link to your proofs.
* Follow the simple instructions in that email to select your favorite image.
* Your chosen headshot will be retouched and delivered within 3 days.
* Need more than one? You’ll have the option to purchase additional retouched images.
Grooming Tips
* Hair: Style as you normally would for work. Schedule haircuts a few days in advance.
* Skin: Moisturize; men should shave carefully to avoid irritation.
* Makeup: Keep it natural and polished. Use powder or blotting papers to help with shine.
What to Wear
* Colors: Solids are best—blues, grays, jewel tones, and neutrals.
* Fit: Choose clothes that fit well and feel comfortable.
* Layers: Jackets and blazers add a professional touch.
* Neckline: Keep it simple and not too distracting.
Expressions & Angles
* Practice: Try different smiles and expressions in the mirror.
* Relax: Think of something that makes you happy—your eyes and smile will follow.
* Good Side: Turn slightly left and right in the mirror to see which feels best. Share this with your photographer!
Come ready to relax and enjoy the process—we’ll make sure you leave with a headshot you love!
