Preparing for Your Headshot
With KP Imagery
Let’s face it- most of us do not have professional modeling experience. Lucky for you though, I am a professional photographer who knows her stuff when it comes to posing and working to get anyone a great looking photo that they love.
Headshots with KP are a breeze—no need for extra prep work before picture day, but I do have a few quick tips to share that will help you own your headshots and feel comfortable on picture day!
1.Wear what you feel good in
Adhere to the dress code you need to, but whatever you wear make sure it’s something you feel confident in. That confidence will transfer to your headshot and you will kill the picture taking process!
2.Dress neutrally
Earthy tones and jewel tones photograph best. Try to steer clear of bold patterns or colors to ensure that YOU are the star of your headshot— not your outfit.
3.Speak your concerns
I get it, we are our own worst critics and there may be something you are worried about in your photo that I might not notice. Feel free to let me know! I want to give you a photo you feel great about, and I am happy to accommodate, so we can make that happen.
4.Keep your routine
Feel free to do a little more prepping than usual for your headshot, but don’t try any new products or services that you might not end up loving. Stick to what you know looks great on you!
5.Try to relax
Just show up, and I can do the rest! I will always be intentional to take the time needed to get a great photo that you feel good about. And it’s okay to feel nervous. Many people aren’t totally comfortable in front of a lens. All I’ll ask you to do on picture day is to take a deep breath, show off your authentic smile, and in a few clicks you’ll be all done!
