How do you prepare your dancer for a headshot? 📸
With NAD Headshot Week coming up, here’s the good news: they really don’t need to do much.
A few simple things can help them arrive feeling their best:
• Come with clean, styled hair — the way they normally like to wear it.
• Keep skincare simple in the days beforehand. Now is not the time to experiment with something new!
• Younger dancers don’t need makeup unless instructed otherwise. For older dancers who normally wear it, light and natural is perfect.
• Get a good night’s sleep and drink plenty of water.
• And please don’t worry about braces, glasses, a last-minute blemish, or whether your dancer “knows what to do” in front of the camera.
My goal is to create a headshot that still looks like them — confident, polished and age appropriate.
I can’t wait to see everyone this week!
