Here’s a quick list of tips to make your headshot photo session a success.

1. Get Some Rest
   Getting a good nights sleep before your headshot session will help keep your eyes looking bright and can help avoid dark circles under your eyes.
2. Keep clothing simple
   Avoid busy patterns in shirts/ties/blouses. You don’t want your clothing to distract from your face.
3. Bring clothing options
   Always bring an extra outfit or two to your session. Different necklines can affect the shape of your face, so having a few different choices (shirt with a collar, crew neck, v-neck, scoop neck, etc.) can be very helpful.
4. Share your intentions
   Let your photographer know what kind of look you want. Bring examples or reference images from the photographers portfolio.
5. Actors – think about “characters” you might portray
   Are you the good guy/girl, the popular guy/girl, the bad guy/girl,
   the professional guy/girl? Where is this character from? What is his/her disposition? What is his/her financial background (blue collar/white collar/middle)? These questions will help you decide what kind of wardrobe to bring.
