Start with the Photography Sessions page to understand the flow—consultation, posing guidance, lighting, and quick image review. That page also covers what to wear and how to plan for LinkedIn versus a website bio. Next, skim Best Photographer for a 60-second checklist: consistent portfolio, natural retouching, and clear answers about delivery and sizing. If you’re a realtor serving Castle Hills or North San Antonio, jump to the Realtor Headshots article for guidance on background tone, print use, and matching brokerage branding. Finally, keep Photo Notes & Tips handy for last-minute reminders—pressed collars, lint roll, hydrate, and bring a simple backup outfit. This sequence takes the guesswork out and helps you walk in prepared and relaxed.
When you’re ready to budget, the View Rates button links directly to Richard’s Photography. If you need a unified look for a team page, a quick message through the contact link is the fastest way to line up an on-site session and get consistent headshots across your staff roster.
Quick Prep Tips That Make a Visible Difference
- Wardrobe: Mid-tone solids beat patterns on screens. Avoid bright white near the face unless layered under a jacket.
- Grooming: Schedule hair at a “settled” stage (3–7 days post-cut/color). Light moisturizer; avoid brand-new skincare within 48–72 hours.
- Glasses: If you wear them daily, bring them—anti-glare helps. Clean the lenses just before your turn.
- Expression: Think of the audience you’re speaking to—clients, recruiters, or patients. Friendly and confident wins.
- Files: Ask for both web-optimized and print-ready versions so your photo looks right on every platform.
We keep retouching natural—no AI “face reshaping.” Minor cleanup, tone balancing, and flyaway control preserve real texture so you look like you on your best day. That’s what works across company sites, LinkedIn, ERAS, and print collateral without raising an eyebrow.
