How to Prepare for your Headshot Session

How to Prepare for your Headshot Session

What goes into a successful headshot photo session?

So, you’ve done the first step – booked your headshot session. What comes next?

 

  • As the photographer, I’ll start by asking you some questions about what you do for a living and how you want to use your new photos.
  • Depending on your answers – we’ll work together to pick a location.
  • You will be responsible for choosing your outfits (though I’ll send you some general guidance ahead of time) and getting your hair and face camera-ready
  • At your session, I’ll provide plenty of instructions to make you feel comfortable and confident
  • After your session, I’ll do some light retouching to provide you with an accurate but flattering new profile picture

Please check out some of my favorite images from a recent headshot portrait session below and contact me if you’d like to book your own photo session.

1. What prompted you to have this photo session? I haven’t had new headshots since 2014 – almost 10 years! A little over a year ago, I become the Chief Business Officer for the College of Education. My intention was to align new headshots with my new role. I’ve been a bit busy (ha!) – and I’m finally happy to get new headshots that match me as a person now.

2. How did you choose your location for your session? Nothing like the appeal of 1970s architecture to really inspire you! It’s work. My work location chose it for me. Do I wish I still worked in the Tower – yeah – she’s pretty. But, Stephanie did a fantastic job at finding compelling, artistic spots to shoot at, given what she had to work with. kudos!

3. What advice would you give to others planning a similar photo session? All the external stuff was easy – clothes, hair, make-up. i think wrangling the inner dialogue is the hard part. it’s all about telling yourself you’re a badass and then believing it.

4. Anything else you’d like to add? Posing can feel really awkward, especially as an adult. Fun fact, I learned my serious face is my mom face.  Stephanie’s directions were straight-forward and easy to follow – I felt immediately comfortable once we got going. Turns out, posing can also be really fun.

TriStar Farms – Branding Photo Session

TriStar Farms – Branding Photo Session

TriStar Farms has two locations – one in Austin near St. Edwards Park and one in Coupland, Texas (about a 40 minute drive from Austin).

Between their two locations, they offer horse boarding, trail rides (Coupland location only), riding lessons, birthday parties and summer camp.

For their Branding Photo Session, we focused on the trail rides they offer in Coupland. It was the first time I’d been up on a horse in a few decades. But the staff was so friendly and helpful, and I relearned how to steer a horse (reins in one hand while taking photos with the other hand). They put me on Tilly – who was as sweet as can be.

CLICK HERE to learn more about their Trail Rides. And if you book a ride, I recommend going an hour before sunset to enjoy golden hour like we did for these photos.

A selection of their photos appear below. The full gallery (password protected) is HERE.
