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
Keep your look clean, tailored, and aligned with your role.
- Neutral or muted tones photograph best
- Avoid busy patterns, logos, or bold prints
- Choose structured, well fitted pieces
These choices ensure your images feel timeless, professional, and
consistent across all platforms.
Stick within a cohesive, neutral palette for a timeless look.
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.
Grooming
Polished, but still natural.
- Hair styled as you would for work
- Light, natural makeup if worn
- Clean nails and minimal accessories
- Avoid anything overly trendy
Expression & Posing
You don’t need to know how to pose! I’ll guide you through everything.
- Relax your shoulders
- Maintain strong, natural posture
- Stay open to direction and small adjustments

I’ll lead, and your openness allows us to create confident, polished results.
