Hey friends!

Just wanted to drop in and say Happy Spring🌼! Can you feel it? The days are longer, the birds are louder, and the pollen is… well, everywhere. But along with seasonal allergies comes a sense of fresh starts and new energy—and I’m here for it.

So, let’s talk trends—because even headshots have them. 

Here’s what’s hot right now:

Gentlemen, It’s Time to Loosen Up—Literally

Professionalism post-COVID looks a little different—and neckties are no longer mandatory. These days, most guys are going for that “I’m professional but also approachable” vibe. Think of a patterned or colored shirt under a sports coat. If you’re unsure about the dress code for your career or industry, bring a buttoned-up look and a business casual one. We’ll shoot both, and you will be prepared no matter the occasion.

Ladies: Let’s Keep It Classy, Not Flashy

Makeup trends are heading toward “natural but polished“—more like “I woke up like this” (with the help of a makeup artist). We’re steering clear of heavy contouring, blinding highlighters, and TikTok-level glam. In photos, shiny bronzers tend to reflect light like disco balls. It’s cute for a party but not so much for your LinkedIn. Soft, matte, and timeless is the way to go.

Wardrobe Variety: Because One Look Is Never Enough

Bring multiple outfits! I promise you’ll thank yourself. With all the social platforms, updates, and random requests for bios and headshots throughout the year, it’s wise to get a few versatile images now. Let’s knock out 3–4 great looks so the next time someone says, “Can you send over a professional headshot?” you won’t have to dig up that one photo from 2017.

Change the Scenery, Elevate the Shot

Want something beyond the classic backdrop? Let’s get creative! Your office, a cool wall or hallway, a cozy coffee shop—heck, we’ll shoot almost anywhere. We can bring the studio to you or help pick the perfect location to match your vibe.

So, let’s make it happen if spring has you itching for a fresh look—whether it’s your website, social media, or email signature. Click here for a 15-minute free consultation, and we’ll get you booked. Bonus: We promise to make it fun!
