High resolution and in-focus
Your photo should be clear and crisp. Avoid images that are grainy or out of focus.
Well-lit with a neutral background
Use soft lighting to avoid harsh shadows and ensure you have a simple, neutral background.
Pose is warm and relaxed
A warm expression and relaxed posture in your headshot helps clients connect with you.
Dress is professional and simple
Wear an outfit you would wear for a client session and avoid distracting sunglasses or hats.
