Preparing for Your Headshot Session
We want your Lacara headshot session to be relaxed, enjoyable and stress-free. Here are a few simple tips to help you prepare.
What to wear
-
Please arrive wearing one of your chosen outfits and bring two additional tops so we can create a variety of looks during your session.
-
Simple clothing photographs best. We recommend:
-
Plain T-shirts
-
Shirts
-
Simple jumpers or tops
-
Denim
-
Try to avoid large logos, bold patterns or anything that may distract from the face.
-
If you're unsure what to bring, feel free to bring a couple of extra options and I can help you choose what will photograph best.
-
For girls, please avoid strappy tops, vest tops, Bardot or bandeau-style tops and dresses for headshots.
Hair & Makeup
-
Children should arrive with clean, natural hair and no makeup.
-
Teenagers may wear very minimal, natural-looking makeup if required, for example to lightly cover a blemish.
-
The aim is always for the photographs to look like you.
Your Session
-
Your headshot session will last approximately 30 minutes.
-
There is no need to practise poses or smiles beforehand — I will guide you throughout the session and keep everything relaxed and natural.
-
For younger children, we actually recommend not talking too much about the photoshoot beforehand. Sometimes too much preparation can make children feel nervous, so simply tell them they're coming along to have some photographs taken and have fun!
After Your Shoot
-
Following your session, you will receive 9 professionally edited digital photographs via download within approximately two weeks.
