How to feel comfortable in your headshot session
Let’s be honest, most people are not thrilled at the idea of being in front of a camera. I know I prefer to be behind to camera!n Whether I’m photographing a branding session or a headshot session one of the biggest pain points I hear is “I’m not good at posing and I’m totally awkward in front of a camera”. So, if this speaks to you, know that it speaks to 100s of other people too.
Here’s the good news. You don’t have to be good at posing, or being in front of the camera. Think about what you do for a living, if I came to your office would you expect me to understand what you do, or be good at it, no, that’s why I’m coming to you! Great headshots or personal branding photos are not about being good at posing or knowing how look amazing in front of a camera, it’s about being relaxed and feeling comfortable. That’s MY job to get you there.
A Stress-Free Headshot Session From Start To Finish
I believe the best photos and expressions happen when we’re relaxed and comfortable. This is one reason why I don’t like to even whisper the word post in my studio. People freak out when they hear it, “I don’t know how to pose”, or “What if I look silly”. I like to create a space where you can be yourself and not worry about posing or getting it right. From the moment you walk into my Clarksburg studio, I’ll guide you through each step of the session so you’ll know exactly what’s happening and what’s coming next. I’ll coach and make adjustments on everything from your posture to your expression.
Live Headshot Image Review
I love being able to review iamges live as we shoot. This gives us the ability to make any adjustments we need to in real time. No shooting for an hour and then saying, oh, I wish we hadn’t shot with me turned. Now we can make any adjustments and I coach you on posture and expression, saving you stress and time.
Why Feeling Comfortable Matters
A relaxed headshot that shows confidence and approachability is powerful. When you feel good, feel confident, you’ll look confident in your headshots.
So, if you’re dreading booking a session because of any of these things, let me take that stress off your shoulders. Book a session with me, we’ll have fun and create killer headshots that will give you a boost of confidence.
