You don't need to know how to pose or be comfortable in front of a camera. That's my job. I'll guide you through a quick, relaxed session designed to create a professional image that still feels like you.

A few simple things to keep in mind:

Wear something you feel good in.
Choose what you would normally wear when meeting a client, colleague, or new connection. Solid colors and simple patterns tend to photograph beautifully. Avoid anything heavily wrinkled or overly distracting.

Bring your personality.
Your headshot doesn't need to look stiff or overly formal. If a bold lipstick, favorite color, glasses, or signature piece is part of how you normally present yourself, wear it.

Keep makeup and hair true to you.
Think polished, not dramatically different. If you wear makeup, your usual routine is perfect. Give yourself a little time for hair and makeup touch-ups before you arrive.

If you wear glasses, wear them.
If they're part of your everyday professional look, they belong in your headshot. If you'd prefer a photo without them, that's completely fine too. Take them off at least 30 min in advance to avoid the  indentations they can leave behind.

Check your look before your session.
Take a few minutes to freshen up, check your hair, and take a breath. You don't need to arrive "camera ready" in the traditional sense—you just need to arrive as yourself. I will have a mirror and lint brushes.

Most importantly: don't worry about posing.
I'll give you simple direction throughout the session. We'll make small adjustments to your posture, expression, and position until we find something that feels natural. You don't have to perform for the camera. Just show up. I'll take it from there.
