Tips for your headshot:
Avoid big prints and patterns such as stripes/lines in clothing
Make sure that clothes are fitted properly.
Match your personality and line of profession; if you work for the bank, dress up a little more than you would on a normal workday (suit jacket, button down shirt, etc)
Choose a color that complements you, watch for colors that may be too bold or washes you out. If you’ve never had an appointment with House of Color to find out what season of colors you are, it is definitely worth the visit!
Black and dark colors photograph really well, but vibrant colors can speak to your personality!
Ladies make sure you have hair and makeup done, natural looks best and keep it simple. If you need a recommendation, Angie with Merle Norman in Dubuque is fantastic to work with and does a wonderful job and keeps the makeup natural looking! Merle Norman Dubuque
Keep jewelry simple so that it does not distract from your face
Remember to have a great attitude and always bring your best smile!
It is recommended to have headshots done one to two times a year. If your headshot has not been updated recently, now is the time to do this!
& most importantly… HAVE FUN

Branding sessions are slightly different than just a headshot session. Headshots are just that, a picture to use for your photo to show who you are. Branding sessions take it a step further and we get more involved in your photos. These pictures can be used to show your behind the scenes, a lifestyle look to your photos, and a way to change up your social media with different images!
With your branding photos, I want to use these as an opportunity to tell the story of you and your business. The more creative, the better!
I love to incorporate props! Such as your computer, cell phone, products you make/sell, your favorite drink, etc! So many fun things to do with your branding photos!
Here are a few images for inspiration!
Pictures can be done in my studio or on location! I would love to come to your place of business for your pictures as well!
Feel free to reach out with any questions!
I’m looking forward to a session with you!
