10 Essential Tips for Clients: Preparing for a Headshot Photo Session

Congratulations on booking a headshot photo session with Amanda Dudzik Photography! To ensure that you get the most out of your session and achieve stunning headshots, here are ten essential tips to help you prepare:


1. Communication is Key:

Reach out tome before the session to discuss your goals, preferences, and any specific ideas you have in mind. Clear communication will help me tailor the session to your vision.

2. Plan Your Wardrobe:

Select your outfits well in advance, keeping in mind the image you want to convey. Opt for solid colors or subtle patterns that complement your skin tone and personal brand. Avoid loud prints that can be distracting.

3.Press your clothes: Wrinkled clothes are distracting and can look unprofessional and sloppy. Do your best to have them pressed or steamed, and wrinkle free for your session. Often, there isn't the option to edit them out.

4. Grooming and Haircare:

If you're due for a haircut or trim, consider doing so a few days before the session. Pay attention to details like nails, eyebrows, and facial hair. Clean, well-groomed hair and skin will enhance your final images.

5. Skin Preparation:

Leading up to the session, stick to your regular skincare routine to ensure your skin looks its best. Avoid experimenting with new products that might cause unwanted reactions.

6. Hydration and Rest:

Get a good night's sleep before the session and stay hydrated. Rested and well-hydrated skin tends to look more vibrant and youthful in photos.

7. No Need to Practice Your Poses:

I'm very bossy during my headshots sessions. I will direct you into the most flattering poses for your face and body.

8. Accessories and Jewelry:

Choose accessories that complement your outfit without overpowering your face. Minimalistic accessories work best for headshots. Consider bringing a couple of options to the session to see what works best on camera.

9. Trust My Expertise:

Remember that you're in the hands of a professional photographer. Trust my guidance and direction during the session. Relax and enjoy the process, knowing that as your photographer, I will capture your best angles and expressions.

10. Be Yourself and Have Fun:

The most captivating headshots capture your genuine personality and confidence. Relax, be yourself, and have fun during the session. I will work to create an environment where your true essence shines through.
