Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear?
For Artist and Social media headshots: Bring colors that bring out your skin tone and add contrast to your hair color. For women: Bring a few tank tops as they work best for headshots. For both men and women: Bring solid colored t-shirts, sweaters, button down shirts, and jackets. Layers add a nice touch to images. For Business and corporate headshots For women: A nice suit jacket with tank top underneath. You can wear a collared shirt under a suit jacket however keep in mind a collar can be more challenging to keep neat. This is why a nice tank top with no collar is recommended. For Men: Bring a suit with a tie. Make sure you know how to knot a tie before your session. You can wear a plain buttoned down shirt. Wear what you feel best in! Make sure to double check that all clothing is ironed and clean. If you wear glasses try to bring every pair you own since some glasses have a glare with the lighting and some don't, If you own any in which you can simply pop out the glass those would be best.
