5 Things to Do Before Your Headshot Session
Preparing for your professional headshot session is more than just showing up on the day. To ensure you look your best, there are a few key steps you should take in the days leading up to your shoot. Here's a checklist of the top five things to do before stepping in front of the camera at Venya Portrait.
Nail Care:
Whether you opt for a simple, clean trim or a professional manicure, ensure your nails look neat and tidy. Consider neutral colors or a clear gloss to keep the focus on your face. Press-on nails can be a quick, effective option for a polished look.
Hair Preparation:
Have your hair styled or trimmed a few days before your session to allow it to settle naturally. Choose a hairstyle that you feel confident in and reflects your professional image. Avoid trying new hairstyles right before your shoot to prevent any last-minute surprises.
Skin Care:
Start hydrating your skin well in advance by drinking plenty of water and moisturizing daily. A gentle exfoliation a day or two before the shoot can help your skin look fresh and smooth. Avoid any harsh treatments or new products that could cause irritation or breakouts.
Hydration:
Drinking plenty of water the day before and on the day of your shoot will help keep your skin hydrated and looking its best. Well-hydrated skin has a natural glow and helps in reducing puffiness around the eyes.
Practice Your Smile:
Spend some time in front of the mirror practicing your smile to find one that is both natural and flattering. Being comfortable with your smile will help you feel more relaxed and confident during your session.
Taking these steps before your headshot session can significantly influence the quality of your final images. At Venya Portrait, we strive to capture your professional best, and preparing beforehand will help ensure your headshots are something you’re proud to display.
