Details Matter in Your Professional Headshots

You may have heard it before—details matter! This is especially true in photography. When it comes to professional headshots, one doesn’t usually think of the details. You just smile, snap, and done! However, with Mike and I, professional headshots aren’t just a quick snapshot. The details matter! And to get the perfect, most beautiful headshots possible, it requires a little work! In today’s blog, we’ll go over the process of what we do to ensure that you get the BEST professional headshot possible!

Before the Photo Shoot

Wardrobe Advice

One may not think too much of little details like the clothes one’s wearing or the location of the photoshoot, but these small elements play a significant role in the resulting look of your professional headshot photos! That’s why Mike and I provide clients with wardrobe advice! We want to make sure you portray the image of the true you while still remaining professional! We know what types of clothes coordinate well with each other and what colors look amazing in the photos! And if you want a personalized option, we have a stylist we can recommend.

Location Selection

Professional headshots don’t have to have an old-fashioned backdrop! The background of your photos are an important detail that not only adds interest to the photos, but can also give viewers a hint of your personality! For example, if one of your hobbies is surfing, why not have your photoshoot at the beach? Mike and I know of lots of amazing locations for photoshoots, so don’t hesitate to ask for some suggestions!
