Why business headshots matter

Your photo shows up next to your name on LinkedIn, your website, Google Business, and social platforms. A professional headshot builds trust fast and helps you look established, confident, and credible.

Studio vs lifestyle headshots

Studio headshots

Clean, timeless, and perfect for corporate teams, healthcare, legal, finance, and executive profiles.

Lifestyle headshots

Modern and approachable, ideal for entrepreneurs, realtors, coaches, creatives, and personal brands.

Approachable modern headshot with soft background blur

A lifestyle look that still reads professional and polished.

What to wear for modern business headshots

Solid colors like black, cream, navy, charcoal, and muted tones
Simple textures and clean lines
Necklines that frame your face well
Minimal jewelry that does not distract

Skip bold logos and busy prints. If you want, bring two outfit options so we can create both confident and approachable looks.

Common headshot mistakes

Over retouching that removes natural skin texture and personality
Outdated or distracting backgrounds that pull focus from your face
Images cropped too tightly for LinkedIn and website layouts
Using different headshots across platforms that weaken brand consistency
Wearing bold patterns or logos that date your images quickly
