What to Wear for your Business Portrait Session
Wednesday, May 10, 2023
Choosing the right outfit for your headshot portrait is essential to make a good first impression. Here are some tips for putting together a great outfit for your headshot:
Keep it simple: The focus of your headshot should be on your face, so choose clothing that is simple and doesn't distract from your face. Solid colors are generally a good choice, and avoid patterns or designs that are too busy.
Choose the right color: The color of your outfit can have a big impact on the overall look of your headshot. Consider your skin tone and choose a color that complements it. Jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, or ruby red can look great on a variety of skin tones.
Consider your profession: Think about the industry you work in and the type of impression you want to give off. For example, if you work in a creative field, you may want to choose something more trendy and stylish, while a more conservative outfit may be appropriate for a corporate headshot.
Pay attention to fit: Your clothing should fit you well and be comfortable to wear. Avoid clothing that is too tight or too loose, and make sure your outfit is tailored to your body shape.
Accessorize with care: Keep accessories to a minimum, and choose simple pieces that complement your outfit. Avoid anything too flashy or distracting, and make sure your jewelry and other accessories don't detract from your face.
Remember, the goal of your headshot is to present a professional and approachable image of yourself, so choose an outfit that makes you feel confident and comfortable
Now in addition to your attire, be sure to limit the salts, sugars and greasy foods the week of your session. And be sure to get plenty of rest and stay hydrated! These all can take a toll on our appearance when not attended to.
We can't wait to create your next quality portrait.

We have rebranded! Looking for fall family photos in Longmont?
Sunday, August 28, 2022
14 years ago we started the brand Effervescent Media Works. "Effervescent" referring to vivacious energy, bubby, fun. And that is me! However, we did name our business when we were 20 years old and didn't put much thought into how much of a mouthful it was that most people have trouble pronouncing or defining... and I still love it. I still photograph weddings, brands and commercial photography and video under this brand. BUT, we have split our brand! I spend most of my time doing family and portrait work!
You can now find my portrait work at RebeccaMabeyPhotography.com
Be sure to follow us on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebeccamabeyphotography/
That is where I focus on families, maternity, newborns, children, and seniors.
