HEADSHOT TALK.

Headshots are one of my most booked sessions. I believe everyone needs a great headshot. Headshots are great for business, work and social media but I also think it's really nice to have a great picture of yourself. One that makes you feel awesome, confident and is a reflection of who you are in a particular stage of life. 

Getting headshots taken can be intimidating. The first step is to find the right photographer that understands you, your business and that can showcase who you are through an image. This is not an easy task - there are A LOT of photographers out there! Take the time to look at the images they have taken that relate to the type of headshot you need.  Are you a business professional? An actor? Do you need a headshot for your own business?  Look at the style, consistency and type of images. Do you relate to the images? Now, make a phone call and make sure you connect with your photographer.

I pride myself in being able to connect with my clients. I do my best to make each person in front of my camera feel comfortable and look their best. When you feel good, comfortable, and a have connection with your photographer, that will shine through the images. 

Once you book your session (hopefully with me!), you now have to decide what to wear! Don't fret, I have some simple tips that will  make it easy to pick the best outfit for your headshot session.

Make sure to check out all the headshot sessions I offer at the bottom of this post! 
My #1 rule for picking out clothes for a headshot session:
 
Pick an outfit that fits you correctly and makes you feel like a million bucks!
​
Pick colors that suit your skin tone, that feel comfortable and are easy to move in. The style of your outfit should be one that you would normally wear; a reflection of who you are or what you are representing in your business.
Don’t try a new style or color for this occasion. You want to feel comfortable and confident! 
 
A few more tips:
 
  • Solid colors look great in headshots.
  • If going with a pattern keep it simple.
  • Start with a simple shirt or blouse and slowly add layers.
  • Bring a few changes of clothes to the shoot.
  • Make sure that ALL clothes are ironed and pressed before the shoot. ... 
  • Bring a lint brush or roller with you.

"Hilary was so flexible and willing to accommodate both of our children and their whims! She made the photo session a fun time for all of us! The kids climbed trees, jumped in leaf piles, and played on the tire swing all while Hilary took amazing photos of them."  MELISSA
