In my post, I shared a few “To Do’s” and "To Don'ts." Today, we’re wrapping up with some things that you should NOT do on session day.

  1. Don’t get a new haircut just before the session. Give it a week.
  2. Don’t wear something that might “clash” with the background.
  3. Don’t wear white unless you are wearing layers and it is underneath.
  4. Don’t wear jewelry that will distract from your face or that is very trendy and might look dated down the road.
  5. Don’t overdress. Don’t wear “big” jewelry, big scarves, big hair.
  6. Don’t wear loud stripes or checks. Avoid herringbone. No short sleeve shirts, please.
  7. Don’t wear a turtleneck (unless it is a very good look for you). In general, a v-neck style will be more attractive.
  8. Don’t wear a jacket you cannot button, or that you have to stretch to be able to button. It will not look good and you will not feel good about it. Bring something that fits properly.
  9. Don’t over-do your makeup. And I don’t mean the “style” of your makeup, I mean in the thickness and amount of application on your skin.
  10. Don’t be afraid to ASK me / CALL me about any of these BEFORE you arrive.

That’s it! Getting a professional and polished headshot that represents you and your business is pretty simple if you follow these tips and hire an expert. If you’d like more information about scheduling a headshot session with me in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, I’d love to hear from you.
