Your Guide to Getting a Great Headshot – The Woodlands Headshot Photographer

Getting a headshot ranks about last on what a business person wants to do on a busy day. However, if you’re here it’s because you know you need a great headshot on social media, your website, or your business directory to make a good impression and be present on your business management page. How to make that headshot less painful? Be prepared with this handy guide on how to make your headshot session a success!

 

GET YOUR HEADSHOT DONE EARLY IN THE DAY
Not only is the light better in the early morning, but you’ll get your headshot taken care of before the day gets it’s claws into you. Before the emails, the afternoon meetings, and the stress of things-left-undone at the end of the day, the early morning is when you are at your freshest and ready to tackle the business day.

DRESS FOR THE VIBE YOU WANT TO GIVE OFF
If you typically wear a business suit to work, you’ll want to dress like you’re ready to do business or meet a client. This helps present a cohesive look for your business presence. If you don’t wear suits and ties, then feel free to be more casual and creative – and wear a pop of colour as well!  That always translates well on the camera.

DON’T FORCE AN UNNATURAL EXPRESSION
A natural smile is always best, so don’t feel like you have to come off as too perky or too serious. People want to see the genuine you!  Your photographer should be able to relax you and have you posed in a way where you look natural, so your smile will be genuine.

DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR A RAINCHECK
If you’re not feeling well, or you don’t feel you look your best on the day of the shoot, don’t be afraid to contact the photographer and ask for a delay. You should be feeling well rested, healthy, and at your best when you get your headshots done. Being unwell, feeling sick, or just being overstressed will not bring out your natural smile. It’s ok to need a day or two to get back on track!

THE LOCATION SHOULD MATCH YOUR STYLE AND BUSINESS APPROACH
You don’t need a stuffy, studio style headshot if that’s not you! Taking it outdoors is the hottest trend in headshot portraits these days, or in the comfort of your own office. Take it to the streets for a cosmopolitan look, or in a natural environment for more casual, approachable pictures. The fresh air and sunlight makes for a wonderful backdrop for your headshots!

Whether it’s for an About Me page or social media, or your own personal website, each site has specific sizes and ratios that work best. I’ll work with you so we get the best framing for your needs!

What Your Headshots Says About You – Your Business Photographer the Woodlands

Your business headshot is just as personal, and representative of you and your work, as your business suits and workspace. Companies take time and money to build their brand, and the portraits of their business leaders and employees is a big part of that brand.

The style of the headshot can be contemporary or traditional, shot outdoors in an urban environment or in your office space, fun or all business, or anything in between. That style speaks volume about the approach the business takes towards clients and partners.

This gentleman’s company takes an edgy, alternative approach with more artistic black and white headshots, that really stand out from the crowd. I really enjoyed helping him submit a portrait that shows the warmth of his personality, combined with the modern edge of monochrome.

The Perfect Outfit for Fall Family Photos – The Woodlands Photographer

I get this question all the time — what should I wear for my family portraits? What’s the perfect outfit for our pictures? The short answer is – there is no perfect outfit! It all depends on your family and your personal style! However, there are some outfit choices that really take your portraits up a notch, and some colours that translate better on camera than others. These fashion forward clients of mine showed up for their family portrait session with wardrobes that really stood out, and the overall tonality and harmony of their family pictures really shows!

POPS OF COLOUR
These ladies really stole the show with their eye catching colour coordinated outfits, that make use of pretty fall tones. Their outfits blend well together with the environment and each other, without being too tonally matching. Beautiful!

 

FORMAL ELEGANCE
Create wall worthy works of photographic art with a stylish wardrobe emsemble. The little touches here really set them apart – the strings of pearls, lace overlays, and professionally styled hair that really show care and preparation for their family pictures.

 

DELICATE NEUTRALS
Feminine and airy, sweet neutrals blend well into natural locations like parks and fields. The natural colours are earthy and calm, adding an extra layer of beauty and grace to your portraits.

 

BOLD COLOUR AND PATTERNS
This is a popular look for late fall, with Christmas just around the corner! Add a pop of merry cheer to your portraits to make them perfect for the holiday cards. Red is a bold choice that looks beautiful against the fall golden greenery.

 

BLUE IS THE COOLEST COLOUR
Blue just always looks good! No matter what hue or shade, the camera loves, loves, loves the colour blue. It pops against grass but also looks perfectly at home in urban settings. Pair with peach or baby neutrals for a winning combo.

 

ADD SOME WHIMSY
Babies and toddlers are tons of fun to dress up for family photos! When our formal pictures are done, you can bring along some adorable outfits for special individual portraits of children to cherish. This little one sports the iconic tutu, always a popular choice for sweet baby girls! Try a cute fedora, tie, and vest for little lads.

 

ADD LAYERS FOR INTEREST
If your session date falls on a colder day, you can add layers to avoid the shivers and still look stylish. Overcoats, peacoats, long patterned sweaters, and slim vests look great without adding bulk.

What To Look For in a Family Photographer – The Woodlands Family Photographer

Are you looking to get some great family pictures done of your family? Overwhelmed by the choices out there, and wondering how to go about choosing your family’s photographer? Here are a few things to look for, when booking your family portraits.

UPFRONT WITH PRICING
Does the photographer provide *all* the pricing info up front, when you inquire? Is there an online guide where Collections pricing is open and transparent? Walk away from photographers who are shy about providing pricing information, and steer you away from asking questions. When you book with Shannon Stroubakis, you receive access to a complete information guide, with all pricing upfront, so there are no surprises later. I have sessions and pricing for all budgets, just ask!

QUICK AND EASY TURNAROUND
How long will it take to get your photos back? Is it easy to download, or do you have to mess around with complex systems to get your portraits? Will you have to wait WEEKS to see your gallery? My turn around time is very fast, and you see your family gallery within the week. Upon payment, the gallery is yours to download and prints are ordered immediately and back within 10 days. As an experienced photographer, I have the ability to get your amazing gallery in a timely manner.

CONNECTION, CONNECTION, CONNECTION
Your family pictures should show the connection of family, and be joyful, soulful, full of light and love. Look for close posing, happy smiles, and warmth and happiness!

BEAUTIFUL FLATTERING LIGHT
The photos should have lovely lighting that doesn’t cause harsh shadows, or splotchy patches on the faces from dappled light. Pretty backlighting or nice overall even light is best. A good photographer knows how to handle the light!

GREAT BACKGROUNDS
Be on the lookout for pictures that have intrusive elements, like bike racks, telephone posts, garbage, and so on. Your family photographer should pay attention to the background so the focus stays on your family. You want pretty flowers, nice trees, or an urban background for a chic look. Nothing distracting!
