What to wear for your Headshot Session

Selecting the ideal attire for your headshot session can be a challenging decision.
Here are some tips and visual suggestions to help you choose the outfit you will feel fabulous and confident in.

WEAR SOLID AND NEUTRAL COLOURS
Solid and neutral colours like black, grey or brown are a good choice for your headshot because they’re timeless. Your headshot won’t looked dated in a few years when styles change.

Avoid wearing all white as our eyes are attracted to the highest contrast in an image and the focus will be off your face. If you want to wear a white shirt, wear a suit jacket to break it up.

MIX IT UP
Bring a few outfits that are casual and professional or different colours and tones. This will give you variety when choosing an image to use for any occasion.

ACCESSORIZE
As always, keep it simple and timeless so you can use your headshot for a few years.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE FUN
Have fun showcasing your wonderful personality with your outfit choices.

AVOID WEARING
Clothing with writing or logos.
Florals, polka dots, stripes or checkered patterns.
Low-cut neck lines and turtleneck sweaters.
Fluorescent colours such as pink as they cause a colour cast on skin.

OVERALL
Wear well-fitted freshly pressed clothing that you feel comfortable and confident in.
If playful and colourful is part of your brand then go for it!

Welcome to the Family | East Vancouver Family Portraits

New parents often radiate a unique kind of joy and love that is palpable, and this family was no exception. As I stepped into their cozy home, I was greeted with warmth and smiles that spoke volumes about their adoration for their precious newborn. It was clear from the first moment that this was a family overflowing with love.
In my role as a photographer, I am constantly reminded of the power of love and connection. It's a privilege to witness these moments and to help families preserve them for a lifetime.

East Vancouver Family Portraits | Trout Lake

They don’t call it Raincouver for nothing. October has been filled with rainy and gloomy days here in Vancouver.
This sweet family was into braving the potential downpours. They donned their rubber boots and we headed to Trout Lake in East Vancouver for their portrait session. It was mostly a drizzle day and we enjoyed jumping in puddles and playing in the beautiful fall leaves.

Burnaby Family Portraits | Deer Lake Park

Deer Lake Park in Burnaby is a perfect location for family portraits. It feels like you are in the countryside.
This was my first time meeting this family and capturing their family before it grows soon.
Big sister was shy and we had fun being goofy and ridiculous to elicit some sweet smiles from her.

Burnaby Family Portraits | Deer Lake Park

This family welcomed their new family member by recreating portraits they had done of their first born at Deer Lake Park in Burnaby.
You can see his original session HERE.

This FAMILY chose a sweet STORYBOOK ALBUM of their DEER LAKE PARK portraits. This album matches the one they had done for their son’s 1st birthday session.

Kitsilano Family Portraits | Jericho Beach

This family was absolutely adorable in their cute and colour coordinated outfits.
Our playful photo session at Jericho Beach Park, complete with their furry family member, was a delightful experience.
Their closeness and genuine affection for each other added a beautiful layer of warmth to the photos.
And, let's just say, there may have been a few donuts involved to keep the spirits high and the smiles even brighter.

East Vancouver Family Portraits | Trout Lake Park

Last time I photographed these two the youngest was tiny and new.
We met up at Trout Lake in East Vancouver to take advantage of the blooming buttercup flowers.
Their parents decided they loved the scuffed knee on their eldest so we didn’t do any Photoshop magic there and kept it real.
During their fun session the eldest gave me a nickname which I think is going to stick.
Henceforth, I will be known as Bee-Belle. At least to these two.
