What to Wear for Your Business Headshot

One of the most common questions I get before a session is:
“What should I wear for my headshot?”

The goal is not to overcomplicate it. You want to look like a polished, confident version of yourself, not someone you don’t recognize.

If you’re preparing for your business headshot session in Cuyahoga Falls, here are a few easy tips to help you feel confident walking in.


1. Start with Something You Feel Good In

If you don’t feel comfortable, it will show in your photos.

Choose an outfit that:

Fits well

Feels like your everyday style (just slightly elevated)

Makes you feel confident the second you put it on

If you’re constantly adjusting or unsure about it, it’s probably not the right choice.


2. Keep It Simple and Clean

Simple always photographs best.

Stick with:

Solid colors or choose minimal patterns

Classic jewelry

Avoid:

Busy patterns

Large logos

Anything overly trendy that may date quickly

A clean look keeps the focus on your face, which is exactly where it should be.


3. Choose Flattering, Neutral Tones

Soft, neutral, and rich tones tend to photograph beautifully.

Great options include:

Creams and whites

Soft blues

Earth tones

Classic black

If you love color, go for it, just keep it intentional and not overwhelming.


4. Bring a Second Option

For headshot mini sessions, you can bring up to two outfits, and I always recommend it.

A great combo is:

One more polished or professional look

One slightly more relaxed option

This gives you variety and flexibility depending on where you plan to use your images.


5. Keep Accessories Minimal

Accessories should complement your look, not distract from it.

Think:

Simple jewelry

Clean, classic pieces

Avoid anything that pulls too much attention away from your face.


6. Think About Your Industry

Your headshot should match how you want to be seen professionally.

For example:

Corporate roles may lean more polished and structured

Creatives and entrepreneurs can go a bit more relaxed and personal

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, which is why we keep things flexible during your session.


7. Don’t Stress About Posing

This is the part most people worry about, and you don’t need to.

I will guide you through everything during your session so you feel comfortable and confident the entire time.

You don’t need to know what to do. That’s my job.
