When it comes to photographs, I know the stress over what to wear for your headshot session can be nerve-wracking. Wardrobe is a huge concern for everyone. I promise you this, if you view your wardrobe with some key thoughts in mind, we can knock your session out of the park without you buying an entirely new wardrobe. Start by keeping Tip 1 in mind and ladies, please pay attention to Tip 2.
TIP 1: The most important feature of your headshot is your eyes. Build your outfit based on what your top does for those beautiful peepers.
TIP 2 [ladies]: What neckline do you feel great wearing? Then- sit down, lean forward and make sure it stays put-ish.
(I was once complimented on my collarbone and since then, will show it off any chance I get! see bio photo on the left!)
Whether you’re confident with your sense of style or someone who just wears whatever, there’s one headshot outfit that works with any body type and personality. And here’s a secret…you likely have it in your closet right now!
The “ My Headshot Session is Tomorrow Signature Outfit ”
Choose a solid color top in a jewel tone or any shade of blue
Short sleeve or long (not strappy tank)

Make sure it is neat and fits well (if need be I can fake the fit with a clip)
