Greetings from the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains! Today, we're here to share some tips on how to prepare for your professional headshots, ensuring they reflect your personality and professional standing.

 

Firstly, it's important to consider your job and position when choosing your outfit. If you're an executive, opt for a sharp suit. If you're a creative, feel free to show a bit of your personal style while maintaining a professional appearance.

 

Clothing should be neat, clean, and well-fitted. Avoid worn or stained items and always press or dry clean your clothes before the shoot. A handy tool to maintain the crispness of your attire is a lint roller.

 

Regardless of your occupation, a business attire approach is always a good idea. Long-sleeved shirts, jackets, and suit coats can add a layer of sophistication. However, remember to avoid low-cut tops to maintain a professional image.

 

When choosing colors, think timeless. Solid colors, especially in shades of black, gray, navy, or blue, tend to photograph well. Avoid pastel colors as they can wash out your skin tone and make you look pale.

 

Patterns can be distracting and draw attention away from your face, the star of the show. Opt for ties, scarves, and accessories without patterns. Also, keep jewelry and accessories to a minimum.

 

Don't experiment with a new hairstyle right before your portrait day. Stick to a tried-and-true style that represents your usual appearance.

 

Finally, let's talk about your smile. A genuine smile portrays trustworthiness to your customers. So, think happy thoughts and let your natural smile shine through.

 

Remember, these are just guidelines. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident during your session. After all, we're here to capture your unique persona in the most flattering light possible.
