DC Corporate Headshots
Make your DC headshots stand out…
In our increasingly digital world, your online presence is everything. Your image is the first thing people make a connection with.
“A sub-par headshot can easily lose you jobs, speaking engagements and other opportunities. Don’t let that happen to you.”
Picking the right headshot photographer is the most important decision you’ll make. You don’t want an inexperienced photographer who will stand you against a wall and take your mug shot without training and coaching you to get the best pose and expression. Also, avoid choosing a photographer who specializes in another genre.
“Hiring an architectural or food photographer to capture your headshots can be disastrous!”
They’ve spent their careers learning to light buildings and food, not faces.
Over the past 20 years, Kristina has lead thousands of people through their photo sessions, meticulously ensuring they look perfect in every way. Almost daily, clients mention how easy and fun the session was. If you’re interested in this kind of mentoring and customized service, then Kristina is the right choice for you.
How should I prepare for my headshot Photography Session?
We recommend drinking lots of water before your professional photo session. It’s also smart to avoid foods that cause water retention or make your face puffy.
Take special care of your skin, but PLEASE don’t be concerned if you have a blemish. We can retouch those in less than a second. Many of our clients become overly concerned if a blemish appears the night before the shoot, but rest assured this will not be a problem whatsoever.
Make sure to prepare your clothing/looks. Being prepared is a great way to ensure a seamless shoot. Steam and hang your outfits so they’re ready to go for the next day. If you don’t own a steamer, we have one at our photo studio.
Don’t wash your hair if you are getting pro makeup and hair before your session, our makeup artist prefers to work with hair that isn’t freshly washed.
If you are applying your own makeup, do it before you arrive at our studio. We suggest applying 35% more makeup than normal. Also, avoid any products with SPF. They tend to ‘reflect’ light which can cause you to look shiny in your business headshots. The studio also has a makeup station where you can touch up makeup right before we start.
If you are hiring a makeup artist, arrive at the appointment start time. We have adjusted our schedule to make sure we have enough time for your professional makeup application and the photoshoot.
Don’t forget to bring your confidence! Your portraits are bound to fail if you don’t show off your confidence and professionalism. No one wants to hire someone who looks unsure of themselves. Kristina is well aware that being in front of the camera isn’t everyone’s favorite thing to do. She will happily listen to your reservations and explain ways to achieve the best headshots during your session. She will also continually coach you as she photographs you to ensure the best poses and expressions.
