How do you feel?
I am a firm believer that how you feel and how you have set your tone to start the day is the most important factor to determine the flow of our next 12ish hours in the day.
With the sky being the limit on what you can do on your day and have the control of your actions and make you feel connected, comfortable and excited about your day, is the first step of a path of success.
Another thought of mine that I want to share is the more personalized your day is to you, the more meaningful the journey will be.
This is where I get in!

I am here to help you elevate your brand with beautiful professional headshots.

Preparing for your studio session
Life is always busy, and it does not get any easier, so make sure to add to your calendar time to prepare for your photoshoot, preferably, a few days ahead of time.
Why is that?
Making time to assess your closet and accessories will be an investment to a desirable outcome. Make sure to present yourself clean and well-groomed during your photo session. Is it time to refresh highlights, have a new haircut, disguise gray roots, trim facial hair, have your nails done professionally?
I always recommend that days before your photo shoot, you follow a healthy skin care routine, get plenty of rest, hydrate your body and plan your outfits. Sometimes a button is missing, or the garment is stained for being without usage in months inside the closet. These basic steps should help, not only, you look fantastic but also feel boosted with confidence when it’s time to take your photos.
Best backgrounds for headshot sessions
The focus of a professional headshot session is YOU! The backdrop used should be simple in a way that highlights your features, personality and allows you to show yourself according to your field of expertise.
Generally, solid neutral colors are the best bet! A brick or wooden wall can also be used, depending on the message you want to convey to your audience.
Popular colors are in the grey scheme, champagne and white family.
When headshots are tied to business lifestyles, outdoors and indoor sceneries must be simple and uncluttered.
Why do I need a Professional Headshot?
Professional headshots including face, half body or full body, can be used anytime a photograph is requested or needed for several instances in life. This type of photography shows your clean image and professionalism in the type of work you do and wish to convey to your audience. Through updated Professional Headshots, a brand becomes more respected and recognizable by the audience.

Great professional headshots
A real good professional headshot shows:
a. Your true personality: try to relax and be who you are during the session.
b. Your face being recognizable when meeting clients in person. A great headshot does not cast heavy shadows to hide your face.
c. You appear friendly, natural, relaxed, and experienced in your field.
d. You accept yourself as you are.
e. Your clothing, makeup, hair, and nails are clean and without wrinkles.
f. Your jewelry and accessories look professional and not distracting.
How often do I need a headshot?
Think about a passport which is required to be renewed on a certain period, so is your professional headshot.
Your audience, clients and target market won’t face any problems in recognizing you, when they see a true match between your headshot portrait and you in person. True matches and accurate depiction bring trust to a brand.
In the event of new haircuts, hair color changes, new tattoos, weight loss and gain, bare face, mustache, full beard, and natural aging process all reflect the image you want to convey by reflecting who you are and how you want to be recognized. In this case, if you go through different changes and looks throughout the year, it is recommended that you consider having headshots scheduled once or twice a year. New updates and refreshments on your photos shows dedication to clients and prospects.
When should I use headshots
If you want to use your professional headshots on your resume, social media, handle to friends or work, dating websites, modeling comp cards, and others instances, having updated headshots are the best option to keep your portfolio up to date and ready to go!
