Headshots don’t have to be the traditional stuffy realtor type that looks like you’ve just had major cosmetic surgery, are 20 years younger, or are in extreme discomfort! Good headshots capture YOU! There are lots of options when planning your headshots, traditional studio shots, on location at your office or place of work, close-up facial shots, head and shoulder shots, ¾ headshots, and full length body shots. Not sure what type of headshot you need? Email Allison Hendrickson Design & Photography for a free consultation! Headshots costs range from $50 to $250 depending on the type, number of photos, and location of the shots. All packages include basic editing to make your skin look it’s best!

Here are a few pointers get the most out of your headshot session:

Makeup – sometimes less is more. Don’t put on layers of makeup with excessive eye shadow, lipstick, or foundation. You want you headshots to look natural and not like 80′s glamour photos! For both women and men, when you come to your shoot bring powder that matches your skin tone to touch up shine.

Keep your clothing simple. Choose solid colors and avoid patterns and prints. You want to people to notice you and not your clothing.

And most importantly relax and have fun as your photo is taken! I always make sure I’ve had lunch ahead of time so I promise I won’t bite! Instead of thinking of the camera or your client looking at you, imagine yourself looking at your potential client, customer, agent, or casting director.

I’m here to take as much time as we need to get the right shot, I want you to feel relaxed and comfortable so that your personality shines through.

Below is examples of several different styles of headshots from left to right, full length body shot on location, 3/4 shot studio shot, and a traditional head and shoulders headshot.
