Your headshot session is all about showcasing your unique personality and style. Here are some tips to help you put your best look forward:

Keep It You:
Choose outfits that align with your personal brand and the image you want to convey. Comfort and authenticity are key.

Color Confidence:
Opt for solid colors that complement your skin tone and bring out your eyes. Bold colors can exude energy, while softer tones offer a timeless elegance.

Flattering Fit:
Wear clothing that fits well and flatters your body type. Avoid overly baggy or tight attire to ensure you look and feel your best.

Textures and Patterns:
Subtle textures add depth, while understated patterns can add visual interest. Avoid bold patterns that may distract from your face.

Layers of Confidence:
Layers can provide options during the shoot. A jacket, sweater, or scarf can easily create multiple looks without changing your entire outfit.

Footwear Counts:
Even if not fully visible, footwear can affect your posture and confidence. Opt for shoes that match your chosen outfit's tone.

For branding sessions we will make a mood board!
