The Ultimate Headshot & Brand Identity Photo Session
Where Classic Headshots Meet Creative Branding
“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”
1. What to Expect: The Experience
Arrival & Setup: We’ll start with a quick walkthrough of the space to check lighting and finalize your outfit order.
The Workflow: Expect a high-energy session! I’ll guide you through different "scenes" (e.g., working at a desk, lifestyle shots, "hero" portraits).
Direction: You don't need to be a model. I will provide continuous coaching on movement, hand placement, and expressions.
Turnaround: Mention when they will receive their proofing gallery (e.g., within 48 hours) and the final edited images.
2. What to Bring: The Checklist
Outfits: 3–5 coordinated looks (ironed and on hangers). Don't forget the shoes for every outfit!
Props: We will go over ideal Props for your photoshoot, remember less is more.
Touch-up Kit: Lip gloss, powder/blotting papers, hairbrush, and hairspray and your makeup bag.
Undergarments: Wearing nude undergarments is a great choice as they are not visible under clothing.
3. How to Prepare: The Lead-Up
Skin & Hair: Stay hydrated 48 hours before. Avoid new facial treatments or heavy tanning right before the shoot.
Clothing: Steam or iron your clothes the night before. Avoid tiny, busy patterns (they can "vibrate" on camera).
Brand Alignment: Review your brand colors. Try to incorporate them into your clothing or props for a cohesive look.
Logistics: Confirm the address, parking situation, and arrival time.
4. Study Poses: Visual Inspiration
The "Power Move": Arms crossed comfortably or hands on hips to show confidence.
The "Action Shot": Typing on a laptop, writing in a journal, or holding a phone as if on a call.
The "Approachable Professional": Seated on a stool or chair, leaning slightly forward with a warm smile.
The "Walking Shot": Slow, intentional steps toward or across the camera for movement.
Get some practice in with your "Good Side." Everyone has a preferred side of their face, whether it's the right or the left. Use your phone and take some selfies to familiarize yourself and embrace your good side.
