Sophie's Headshot Guide
A great professional headshot should feel like you…confident, approachable and ready to connect with the people you want to work with. The good news? We will show you how to pose or feel completely comfortable in front of the camera; that’s our job!
1. Think About Where You’ll Use Your Headshot
Will it appear on LinkedIn, your website, speaking profiles or marketing materials? Knowing where your images will be used helps us create the right mix of expressions, poses and framing.
2. Dress Like You’re Meeting Your Ideal Client
Choose an outfit that feels professional, comfortable and genuinely reflects your personality. Simple colours and subtle patterns photograph beautifully, while very busy prints, large logos and uncomfortable clothing can become distracting.
3. Keep Hair, Makeup and Accessories Authentic
Aim for a polished version of how you normally present yourself rather than trying something completely new on the day. Keep jewellery and accessories simple unless bold pieces are part of your personal brand.
4. Bring a Few Essentials
Pack a hairbrush or comb, powder for shine, lipstick or lip balm, and anything else you might need for a quick touch-up. If your package allows time for variety, bring an additional jacket, top or accessory to create a slightly different look.
5. We’ve Got You
We’ll guide you through your posture, positioning and expressions so you feel relaxed and look natural, confident and professional.
Your headshot is about creating an image that helps the right people recognise, remember and connect with you.
From headshots, gala dinners and expos to conferences and corporate celebrations, the Sophie B Photography team loves capturing the people, atmosphere and moments that make every occasion unique. If you’re planning an upcoming event, now is the perfect time to secure your photography and videography coverage, we’d love to help bring your story to life!
Brining You More Each Month
We’re turning things up a notch and moving to a monthly newsletter! More events, more behind-the-scenes moments, more recent work, and more stories from the people and brands we’re lucky enough to capture along the way. Thanks for being here – we’re excited to share more with you each month.
