CLOTHING:
Firstly, wear something comfortable! If you don’t like it, it’ll show in the pictures. Secondly, the tips mentioned here are simply professional suggestions; if you have a certain vibe that is part of your brand, we can definitely play that up and throw these “rules” out the window!
Women: Bring crisply ironed solid color tops that fit you well and an optional jacket. Jewelry should be minimal if at all. It can be distracting _ and over time, it will also date the images. Be mindful of clothes that have been on hangers too long as it can create a crease on the shoulder and arm areas.
Men: Bring solid color pressed shirts that fit well around your neck. A variety of solid T-shirts plus buttoned shirts are also good to bring. A suitcoat or sport jacket is a nice way to create an optional look. Be mindful of clothes that have been on hangers too long as it can create a crease on the shoulder and arm areas.
Company Headshot Sessions: We are usually limited to one look so don’t worry about bring multiple outfit.
HAIR & MAKEUP:
Women: You should look like you _ just a polished up version. Less is usually better; be especially mindful of not overdoing it with eye makeup. Bring your make-up and hair products in case we need to touch-up during the shoot. Alternatively, we can explore hiring a professional hair and makeup artist who can attend the session and do touchups throughout as needed.
Men: I do not recommend make-up services for men. However, you should make sure to be nicely groomed (beard, nose, eyebrows and ears). You can also arrive with a beard or some scruff, then shave mid-session to create alternative looks.
Both: Bring a hairbrush, comb or pick to keep your hair in check. If you have long hair, bring a scrunchy or rubberband to put it up for an alternative look.
EYEGLASSES:
If you wear glasses, bring as many pairs as you have. The quality of glass will make a significant difference in limiting glare. We will also try looks without wearing glasses.
Additional option: If you want the ultimate experience, I recommend hiring a professional hair and makeup artist. You can add this service on when you book an appointment, though take note that we will likely need some lead time of at least a week to ensure the right ones are available. Rates is $200.
