What Should I Bring to my Headshot Photoshoot?

photographybyemmabrown@gmail.com

The Essentials:

Clothing and Accessories: 

I’ve got you covered on outfits. When you book a headshot photoshoot with me, we will also book a call to go over outfit choices and you are always welcome to send as many pictures of clothes to help you narrow down what you want to bring. If you wear jewelry I also always advise you to bring jewelry. It adds color, shapes, and can also help to communicate your personality. Side note: please don’t let anyone make you believe you can only wear specific colors for photos. Not everyone wants to be in a black jacket with a white button down, especially if that’s not the kind of person you are. 

Examples of jewelry communicating different personalities: 

Hair and Makeup: 


I always ask that people do their hair and makeup, even if it’s minimal. If you don’t usually wear foundation, throw on just a little because it helps so much with lighting. Naturally, your face has many different tones in it, so a little bit of foundation all over goes a long way. 


And PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not forget a lipstick or a lip gloss. The smallest bit of color on your lips goes a long way. 


Anything you need to feel comfortable: 


If there is anything you’d like to bring with you to feel comfortable you are more than welcome to. Feel free to bring your favorite hype-you up playlist. I have a speaker available at all times. Also, if you would like to bring a friend with you to help you feel more comfortable feel free! Just make sure they are someone who will make you feel good about yourself, not someone that will nit pick every pose, angle and facial expression. 


Editing: 


I professionally edit every single one of my images. Whether it takes three minutes or fifteen minutes, I make sure to put the time in. There are always hairs out of place or a shirt/jacket that is a little wrinkled so I make sure that everything in the image is perfect. If there are certain things you don’t like or if you have specific edits; you are more than welcome to request and I will make it happen. Even stuff like changing background colors or changing the color of your clothing, I’ll get it done. 

What you don’t need to bring: 


You don’t need to bring any poses, backdrops, special lighting or prepared facial expressions. I am here to be your official hype woman. I will instruct you on all posing right down to the angle of your body, face, and even the direction of your eyes. It is my goal to make you feel as confident, beautiful, and comfortable as possible.

Ronisha came in wanting a simple backdrop to celebrate her birthday. We kept the backdrop simple but changed up all the posing. This is one of my favorite ways to help women get in touch with their inner beauty.
