Is a Studio Portrait
Right for You?
Studio portraits go beyond the traditional head-and-shoulders headshot. These sessions are designed for half-body, three-quarter, and full-body imagery, with intentional posing and styling that allow more of your personality and brand to come through.
While traditional headshots are perfect for LinkedIn and professional directories, studio portraits offer limitless possibilities. Many people use images from a portrait session for websites, speaker bios, and marketing materials. These sessions are also ideal for creatives like musicians, athletes, actors, dancers. Each session is unique and is designed to show not just what you look like, but who you are and what you represent.

BUT WHAT SHOULD I TO WEAR?!
This is by far the most popular question before a headshot session — and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. However, there are a few timeless guidelines that work for almost everyone:
-
Choose solid colors
Neutrals and soft tones photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your face. -
Avoid busy patterns and logos
They distract from your expression and can date your image quickly. -
Wear what feels like you
Confidence shows — choose pieces that feel natural, comfortable, and authentic. -
Think timeless, not trendy
Classic styles ensure your images stay relevant for years. -
Focus on fit
Well-fitted clothing always looks more polished on camera. -
Layer thoughtfully
Blazers, jackets, and structured pieces add depth and professionalism. -
Keep accessories simple
Clean, minimal accessories photograph best and won’t overpower your look. -
Plan for multiple looks
Bring options so we can create variety for different platforms and uses.
