A good headshot adds instant credibility. It's your first impression and helps you build trust and professionalism. The beginning of the year is a great time to revamp your headshot.

Here are a few tips to ensure you get a good one.

#1. Talk to your photographer before to plan your session

When you schedule your session, talk to your photographer about what you are looking to accomplish. You should walk away from that conversation feeling great about the direction you are going.

#2.Wear solid colors and stay within the basics like black and white, navy or earth tones.

Keeping your clothes simple and classic, ensures that the focus will be on you and not your clothes.

#3. Get a haircut/trim a week before

If you get a haircut the week before your session it will look more like you than a fresh cut. Gives you the chance to get comfortable with the new style.

#4. Practice your smile in the mirror

Smiling is hard! Practicing your smile or poses feels weird at first, but when it comes to the day of the photo session you will feel relaxed and like second nature.

#5. Get some sleep and drink water

When we don’t get rest and enough water it shows on your face. So to make your skin glow, drink water!

#6 Get make up professionally done

Make-up artists know exactly what works to make you look like your best self! I have recommendations for some of the best.

#7 Relax

Take a deep breath and trust your photographer to do fun job of making you look amazing.
