Whether you are a job seeker looking for a new job or a professional wanting to update the headshots on your company's website, I've got you covered! You only have one chance at a first impression so you want it to match who your brand. I can help you every step of the way from choosing the correct outfit to flattering posing. As a professional photographer that has done many headshot sessions let me start by giving you my top 5 tips.

1. MAKE SURE YOU CLOTHING FITS

This may sound like a no brainer. But I have had several times where people bring an outfit to wear that is either too big or too small. Neither is a good look. Try the outfit you are planning to wear on before your session. Look in the mirror. Still not sure? Ask a friend or family member for their opinion. Oversized clothes give an unprofessional and sloppy look. Clothes that are too small will show any bulges you that you probably don't want to show and will actually make you look heavier than you are.

2. NO WRINKLES

This seems like common sense and I wish it was. But from experience I can tell you I make it a point to say it multiple times. If you are not planning on wearing your outfit for a headshot then bring it on a hanger. Don't just throw it in the back of your car and expect it to look sharp and professional. If you are wearing it for the entire day, choose something that will not wrinkle easily as you wait to have your image taken.

3. PRACTICE

This is especially for the people who do not get photos taken on a regular basis. Practice your smile in the mirror. Yes that's weird and slightly uncomfortable but you need to know if you like a big toothy smile, a small smile or none at all. When your smile is big does it make your eyes squinty? or show more wrinkles than you would like? What is the image you want to project? Do you want an open friendly look or one that is more serious? Knowing these things in advance will greatly improve the odds of you loving the images you get.

Marketing & Design

Okay, your cool blog is done. Now all that’s left is to publish and get readers. Think of blogging as part of your marketing strategy – because it really is.

Blogs help people find you through search engines. But you can also share your blogs on social media platforms to get people ooh-ing and ahh-ing over your work on your website. The goal is to show them around the place, dazzle them with your work, and hopefully they’ll end up booking their own sessions – or signing up for updates! Sharing is easy. Just click “Share” and post to the social media of your choice. Done and done.

Our last notes are about design. Both for your overall blog layout and for each post.

People are visual creatures... but you know that already. A beautiful blog will encourage people to stay & read more! Your blog comes with a bunch of layout options so you can create a gorgeous experience for your readers.
If you write a longer article, try to break up the words with images peppered throughout. Photos make for a more enjoyable read!
If you have extra widgets, you can easily embed them in the footer or sidebar of your blog. Putting in a subscription form, for instance, is a great idea to keep people hooked on reading your blog!

That’s about it! You now know everything you need to make a great blog for your business! Good luck, champ. I know you’ve got this. But if you ever have any questions, drop us a line, and we’ll be glad to help!

Happy blogging!

Xoxo,
