Headshot Prep Guide

This guide is designed to help you feel prepared, polished, and ready for your session.

Everything is kept simple and intentional so you can show up, relax, and let me guide you through the rest.


What to Wear


Choose clothing that feels polished, professional, and appropriate for your role.


  • Neutral or muted tones photograph beautifully and remain timeless.
  • Well fitted, structured pieces create a clean, polished look.
  • Subtle pops of your company's brand colours or tasteful branded apparel
  • Avoid busy patterns, large logos, graphics, or distracting prints.


These choices help create professional, cohesive images that work across your website, LinkedIn, presentations, and other marketing materials.



Team Coordination


For company or team headshots, the goal is cohesion.....not matching outfits.


We recommend:

Staying within a neutral or brand aligned colour palette

Avoiding everyone wearing the exact same colour

Mixing light and dark tones for balance


This helps the final images feel intentional and professional when viewed together.
