How to prepare for headshot photo session

1.       A few days ahead: Nothing brand new. Get all beauty treatments a few days ahead to allow them to settle in (haircut, color, eyebrows, tanning, etc.). On the other hand, if your image is highly stylized (you know who you are), then go for it! This is all about the authentic YOU.

2.       At least 72 hours before session hydrate and reduce alcohol, stay out of the sun and moisturize. (Puffy, reddish, and bags will show up in your photos).

3.       Wear something that professional and fits you personality and the industry standards.

4.       Wear or bring clean and pressed clothes.

5.       Bring a headshot that you like from a magazine to help the photographer understand what you are looking for.

6.       If your wearing makeup suggest using a professional or use basic amounts of makeup to avoid clumps or caked up spots. (Female or Male)

7.       Practice, practice, practice….Practice the looks you want to convey in your headshots. Find a bathroom mirror and practice your look. Sounds fun and silly but it works.

8.       Most important….GET PLENTY OF REST THE NIGHT BEFORE!!!!!!!
