Photos for personal use and social media

If you use social media personally, but would like to maintain a professional appearance, consider a professional headshot. With the ease of use of internet among the majority of today’s employers, chances are they have viewed your social media presence. Depending on your occupation, you may want a professional profile image, even if wearing casual clothing in a casual pose.

Online dating profile images

Online dating sites have grown in popularity. Having a professional looking image of yourself gives confidence to potential partners that you care about your appearance. Investing in yourself shows that you value others and have taken the time to show them your best self. Candid photos are important as well, but having a good, clear professional image as the first image viewed gives you an advantage in making a great first impression!

How do I prepare for my headshot?

Schedule your hair appointment at least a week prior to your appointment.
Come groomed and ready with clothes freshly pressed.
Hydrate well a couple days before your appointment and get a good night’s rest.
Makeup should be kept natural.

In selecting your wardrobe, consider:

Solids photograph best
Layers and light accessories can add visual interest (keep jewelry small and minimal)
Colors that compliment your eyes and skin tones are great for headshots
Neutral colors can be worn but adding pops of color can bring out your best features
