"I'm just not photogenic."

I hear this so often, and I wish people knew how many others feel exactly the same way.

Most of us aren't used to seeing ourselves in photographs taken from someone else's perspective. Add a camera, a little pressure, and the feeling that we're supposed to look a certain way, and it's easy to become uncomfortable.

But being photogenic isn't a requirement for having a photograph you love.

My job is to help you feel comfortable, guide you through the process, and pay attention to the little things that help your personality come through.

You don't need to be good at having your picture taken. You just need someone who knows how to help you.

A little preparation goes a long way.

Getting ready for a headshot session doesn't need to be complicated!

Here are three simple things you can do before your session:

Choose an outfit you feel good in.
Think about who will see your photograph and what you'd like it to communicate.
Give yourself a few minutes to breathe and settle in before stepping in front of the camera.

That's it. No practicing your smile in the mirror for hours. No memorizing poses. No pressure to be perfect.

I've put together a helpful guide with more tips to make your next headshot day feel easier.

You don't need to know how to pose.

If the thought of standing in front of a camera makes you nervous, you're in good company.

So many people tell me they feel awkward in photographs or have no idea what to do with their hands.

Here's the thing: you don't need to know how to pose. That's my job!

I'll guide you through the process, making small adjustments to your posture, shoulders, hands, and expression. We'll take our time, try different things, and find what feels natural for you.

You don't have to show up knowing what to do. You just have to show up.

What should you wear for a headshot?

One of the questions I hear most often is, "What am I supposed to wear?"

My biggest piece of advice? Wear something that feels like YOU.

Choose clothing that fits well, makes you feel comfortable, and reflects how you want to show up professionally. Solid colors can photograph beautifully, but patterns and jewelry are absolutely fine, too.

You don't need to buy a whole new wardrobe or dress like someone you're not.

The best outfit is one that lets you feel like yourself on a really good day.

I've shared more tips in my latest blog post about preparing for a headshot day.

Where does your headshot show up?

Your professional photograph might be doing more work than you realize!

It could be on your:

✨ LinkedIn profile
✨ Business website
✨ Speaker bio or event announcement
✨ Book cover or author bio
✨ Social media profiles
✨ Company staff page

When someone looks you up, your photograph helps introduce you before you've had a chance to say hello.

Does your current headshot reflect who you are and what you're doing now?

If it's been a while since you've updated yours, it might be time.

When someone asks for your headshot…

You know that moment when someone asks you for a headshot and you start scrolling through your camera roll, hoping to find something you actually like?

Maybe your photo is ten years old. Maybe you don't feel like it really looks like you. Or maybe you just don't have one you're excited to share.

I hear this all the time.

Your headshot is often one of the first ways people get to know you professionally. You deserve an image that feels current, looks like you, and makes you feel good about putting yourself out there.

I wrote a little more about why a professional headshot is about so much more than just a nice picture.

How do you know when it's time for a new professional headshot?
Here are a few signs:
📸 Your current photo no longer looks like you.
📸 You’ve changed your hair significantly.
📸 Your career or business has changed.
📸 You're launching a new website or brand.
📸 You’re looking for a new job.
📸 Your LinkedIn photo is from… let’s just say, a different era.
📸 You keep cropping yourself out of group photos because you don't have a current headshot.
Or maybe you simply look at your current photo and think, “I don't love this.”
That's enough reason.
A professional headshot doesn't have to feel stiff or overly corporate. It can be warm, approachable, confident, creative, and genuinely you.
If your headshot doesn't reflect who you are today, it might be time.

What's the difference between a headshot and personal branding photography?
A headshot is usually focused on you.
Your face, expression, and personality.
It’s the image you might use for LinkedIn, your company website, a speaker bio, or a professional profile.
Personal branding photography goes further.
It tells the story of what you do.
It might include you working with a client, creating something, teaching, meeting with your team, or simply showing more of your personality and your environment.
If a headshot says, “This is me,”
branding photography says, “This is me, this is what I do, and this is what it feels like to work with me.”
Both can be incredibly valuable. The right choice depends on what you need your images to do for your business.
And sometimes, you need both.

It's been a while since I have posted about a Goddess Session. They are still happening and as empowering as ever.

There is something powerful about allowing yourself to be seen exactly as you are.
Not ten years ago.
Not five pounds lighter.
Not once you finally accomplish the thing you've been waiting to accomplish.
Now.
My Goddess Sessions are for women who are ready to celebrate themselves in this chapter of their lives.
They aren't about looking younger or becoming someone else.
They are about seeing yourself with fresh eyes.
Strong. Beautiful. Alive. Interesting. Powerful. Human.
And sometimes, a portrait can be a beautiful reminder that you don't have to wait to become worthy of being celebrated.
You already are.
Goddess Sessions take place in my Easthampton, MA studio.
