📸 How to Prepare for Your Home or Office Headshot Session 🏢🏡
Preparing Your Home or Office for Your Headshot Session 🏢🏡
Creating a welcoming, clutter-free environment is essential since your session will be held at your home or office. Place pets in a secure, separate location until the session is complete and the photographer has left. Clear a dedicated space—preferably a high-ceiling area with open space. Other options include a large conference room, living room, or garage. Ensure the selected space is tidy and free of distractions to ensure your professional headshot stands out.
Tip: Keep the space warm and comfortable to help you relax during the shoot.
How to Prepare the Day or Night Before Your Session 🌙
Get a good night's sleep so you look fresh and energized.
Hydrate and eat a light meal beforehand—this helps you stay relaxed.
Avoid last-minute grooming; schedule a makeup artist, haircut, shave, or facial the day before.
Plan your wardrobe in advance to avoid any morning rush.
Feel free to search Pinterest and Google for inspirational photos representing posing, lighting, or ideas you want to try during your session. Share your ideas with your headshot photographer about 24 hours before your session.
Charge your phone or camera if you want to take behind-the-scenes photos!
Wardrobe Suggestions for a Professional Look 👔
Dress in solid, neutral colors like navy, gray, black, or white—these tend to photograph well and keep the focus on your face. Avoid busy patterns or loud prints that can distract from your professional image. A professional blazer will add diversity to your outfit selection. Avoid sleeveless tops and dresses. Make sure your clothing fits well and is free of wrinkles. If you're unsure, bring some options; Tomiko can help you decide what works best on camera.
What to Expect Just Before Your Session Starts 📅
Your session will last for the entire photography session selected during the booking. Suppose you request a studio background and lights. In that case, an additional 45 minutes is needed for on-site studio setup before the session and 30 minutes for breakdown after the session—so plan to set aside an extra hour for your session. You do not need to standby during the studio setup and breakdown times. Tomiko will guide you through various poses and expressions during the shoot to capture your best angles. You'll have the chance to review your images during the session, and retakes are always available to ensure you're thrilled with your headshots. Once done, your professional headshot photographer will carefully break down the studio setup, leaving your space just as it was.
