Q: What should I keep in mind for makeup and skincare in headshots?
A: With headshots, it's best to keep your makeup natural. Avoid heavy, bright, or dark eye makeup. Go easy on contouring, as the lighting will naturally enhance your features. Use light foundation to avoid cracks on the face. Consider using lip gloss or at least chapstick for shiny lips. Remember, cracked lips don't look good in headshots. These tips apply to both men and women.

Understanding the Importance of Professional Headshots for Strong First Impressions
I think we all agree at this point on the importance of professional headshots for your company. Whether you’re a corporate leader, entrepreneur, or creative professional, a strong headshot plays a crucial role in shaping perceptions. Think about when you’re searching for an individual or company to hire. As a client, first impressions happen within seconds. If you open a website or LinkedIn profile and it lacks professionalism, chances are you’ll move on to the next option—one that appears polished and trustworthy.

Crafting a Brand Image that Reflects You with Branding Headshots
When I think about what makes my business unique, I always come back to a simple answer: ME! I am my brand, so I need to have great personal branding headshots that show a little about who I am. I want to be professional yet approachable. Mostly, I'm a huge goofball and spend a lot of time laughing. I'd say my current headshot shows who I am and what I do. So, what do you need to do to make yourself the face of your brand?
“Investing in high-quality, authentic photography is required if you want your visuals to play a crucial role in delivering the personality of your brand. Much like eating, we shop with our eyes. We make many purchase decisions based on first impressions. And buying is often an emotional decision more than a practical one. Therefore, your branding is about influencing the way consumers think about you and your business or product. As a result, personal branding photography can have a huge impact on your business and your bottom line.” – Tanya Boggs, Forbes

3 Ways to Make Your Headshots FUN!
Before diving into the exciting world of fun headshots in Atlanta, let’s pause for a moment to have a little chat. I’m not here to lecture you with the usual “First Impressions Matter” spiel — because let’s be real, you already know that. However, I will badger you (just a bit) about a few things. Don’t worry; this badgering will be gentle and spread out over time. You might even enjoy it.
Let’s start with your profile photo.
If your profile picture is less than two years old, not a poorly lit snapshot, and definitely not a cropped selfie, then congratulations! You’re dismissed from today’s session. Pats you on the head. Take a lollipop on your way out.

Over 50 & Fabulous: How a Photo Shoot Can Give Us Our Groove Back!
If you're over 50 and are feeling less than fabulous, we've got the perfect remedy! Here's why a photo shoot could be the best thing you do in 2020!
We've reached a point with self-care routines where age affects us far less than it has in the past. In fact, some celebrities look just as stunning in their 40s, 50s and beyond as they did during their 20s.
Many people, though, find that they don't feel quite as beautiful after they pass 50. Their skin doesn't have the same tightness, and there may be a stray wrinkle here and there. I swear the day after my 50th birthday, the skin on my legs was like, “Um, we’re done being wrapped tightly… gonna loosen up a bit, thanks.”

Benefits of Corporate Photoshoot For Your Business
There’s far more to building a business than chasing numbers. Company culture is a significant factor that contributes to how productive your employees are as a whole. Team-building comes in many different forms, and one of the most effective is getting everyone together for corporate and branding photo sessions. I know getting everyone together is no easy task. It’s like herding cats. Not sure where to start? Don't worry, we've got you covered.
Let’s take a look at everything you need to know about the benefits of a corporate photo session.

Dear Diary
Dear Diary,
It has been raining for 73 days now. I don’t remember what the warmth of sunshine feels like anymore. I fear this is just the way life is now….wet, gray and depressing.
And yet… I soldier on.
