Tips&Advice — A Better Headshot

For my first blog post on this site, I'll begin with a little advice on how to get the best possible images out of your session.

1. Start with your photographer - Make sure you like their work;  the angles, the colors and the expressions that they capture in their images.  Make sure they understand what you want.
2. Make sure that you are well rested.
3. Drink more water
4. Make sure your wardrobe compliment the look you want and are not to busy or trendy.
5. Make sure your clothes are clean and wrinkle-free
