I'm not fond of being in front of the camera either, and that works in your favor, because I GET YOU! But business portraits are a part of your business--a BIG part. It's often your first and best chance to make a strong impression and your very best marketing tool. It should be the best representation of you possible.
So here are 5 super simple tips to make sure we get great images of YOU:
BE YOU! Look like yourself. If you wear glasses, wear them! If your thing is a scruffy beard, wear it with confidence. Be who you are and not what you think you should be so you can be relaxed in your own skin.
GET SLEEP, WATER AND FOOD. Party some other time--the night before your portrait, make sure you get sleep. Eat so you aren't cranky and drink plenty of water. (Really, hydrating does wonders for the way you look!)
WEAR SOMETHING YOU LOVE. Wear something you feel smokin' in. If you feel GREAT, it'll come across. You might want to stick with simple and classic though, (which doesn't have to mean boring!) because cutting edge fashion tends to look dated quickly.
DON'T BE NERVOUS. Easier said than done, but remember it only takes one good portrait and I promise you'll have that and more!
HAVE FUN! I've got tunes, a sense of humor and lots of experience with people who hate to have their portraits taken so relax and let's have fun!
