4. Practice your poses and facial expressions

If you're not used to being in front of the camera, it can be helpful to practice your poses and facial expressions beforehand. Try different angles and poses in front of a mirror to see what looks best on you. You can also practice different facial expressions to see what looks most natural and flattering. During a headshot session, I will work with you to find your best side, too. We'll take a series of photos to find what you think is your best angle.

5. Choose a photographer with experience

It's important to choose a photographer who has experience taking headshots. Look at their portfolio to see examples of their work and make sure their style aligns with what you're looking for. You can also read reviews from previous clients to get an idea of their professionalism and the quality of their work.

6. Communicate with your photographer

Before your headshot session, make sure you communicate with your photographer about your goals and what you're looking for in your photos. This can include the style of the photos, the background, and any specific poses or angles you want to try. The more your photographer knows about your preferences, the better they can capture the perfect shot.

Preparing for the session is more than just showing up in an outfit that you like. If you decide to work with me, I will help guide you on the journey to get the most from your session.
