What to Wear For Your Bay Area Headshot Session

February 25, 2024

⭠ back to blog home

Your headshot session is an opportunity to showcase yourself and your brand in the best light possible. It’s important to feel comfortable, confident, and true to you during your shoot. Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect outfit for your 30-minute headshot session:

1. Comfort is Key for Your Headshot Session

The most important thing is to wear something that you feel comfortable and confident in. Avoid anything too tight or restrictive, as it can affect your posture and how relaxed you appear in your photos. Choose fabrics that are comfortable and allow you to move freely.

2. Consider the Location and Your Colors

Since we’ll likely be shooting in a studio with white walls and neutral tones for your headshot session, consider wearing colors that will complement this backdrop. If your favorite colors are vibrant, feel free to wear something that will stand out against the neutral background. Ultimately, choose colors that make you feel good and reflect your personality.

3. Keep Accessories Simple

Less is more when it comes to accessories for your headshot session. Choose one or two pieces of jewelry, such as earrings or a necklace, that you typically wear. The goal is to enhance your natural beauty, not distract from it.

4. Reflect Your Vibe in Your Headshot Photos

Think about the vibe you want your headshot photos to convey. If your brand is cozy and home-based, consider wearing clothing that reflects this. If you want to project a more professional image, a suit jacket might be a good choice. Ultimately, your outfit should align with how you want your brand to be perceived by your audience.

5. Stay True to Yourself

There’s no right or wrong way to dress for your headshot session. The most important thing is to stay true to yourself and your brand. Choose outfits that make you feel like the best version of yourself, and we’ll work together to capture that essence in your photos.

In conclusion, the key to a successful headshot session is to wear something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and true to your brand. Keep these tips in mind as you prepare for your session, and remember, the goal is to capture the beauty of you!
