Abbie is a local book keeper in the local Penrith area.

She reached out to us wanting to update her headshots and take her personal brand to the next level.

As with most people, they are usually quite nervous about being photographed, and it’s our job to relax people and make them feel at home. When Abbie came into the studio, she was no different. Within minutes, some classic “Dad jokes’ helped her relax and boom she was in the zone !!

We try multiple poses and outfits for clients in the studio because every person is different. Once Abbey had her power jacket on and a few jokes under her belt her hero shot was captured.

As with all of our clients, once you are booked in, we email out our "CHARACTERISTICS OF A GREAT HEADSHOT" flyer, Abbie found it very helpful in choosing outfits and colours that would suit her style and look she was going for.

Here is a little exerpt from the flyer.

1. Clean and simple - The goal of a headshot is to show who you are in a professional manner. The best way to do this is to keep your headshots clean and simple, with nothing to distract from you.

2. Confidence and approachability -Visibly showing off your personality in your headshot demonstrates self-confidence, which automatically leads others to feel confident in you as well.

3. Smile with your teeth - and your eyes! This goes without saying, but real smiles radiate a genuine vibe that will attract your audience.

4. Personality over glamour - Make sure your headshots look like you. Do not over doit with the makeup, hair, or clothing. Just be unapologetically you!

5. Conservative colours - By wearing conservative colours, the focus stays on you, your smile, and your personality.
