After your consultation, the final step is your actual photography session. This session will capture the way you look for others to see for months (or even years) to come, so make sure that you’re as relaxed and comfortable as possible.

Give yourself plenty of time to travel to your photography session, bring all the clothes you plan to wear (and keep them organized so you can find what you want right away), bring any makeup you want to use, and (most importantly) be happy. If you just broke up with your boyfriend or girlfriend, you’ll express those emotions, and they probably won’t help you capture a very good head shot. In these cases, reschedule your photo shoot rather than capture a poor head shot.

Don’t bring anyone along to your photography session unless it’s a professional makeup artist. You need as few distractions as possible, and a friend (however well-meaning) will likely distract you.

During your photography session, the photographer may suggest different poses and help you relax by telling jokes, asking you questions, or talking about nothing at all. The point is to capture that split second when your look is absolutely perfect for a head shot, so cooperate with your photographer.
