Why is your business portrait important?

It conveys:

• You are a professional

• You take your career and brand seriously

• You are in demand and have a need, and can afford professional Images

• You’re up to date and relevant

What to wear for your corporate headshot.

Keep in mind, these are just guidelines!

1. The most important advice for clothing is to wear something that makes you feel confident. Generally, dark, solid colors work best, with no patterns or logos. Traditional business colors (black, dark blue and grey) work well, as these tones really highlight the face, which is the first thing you want someone to see in the portrait.

2. Avoid haircuts or doing anything that radically changes your appearance before your session. Styling is okay and encouraged as long as you stick with what you are used to. If you do need a haircut, schedule it at least a week in advance. Men - A fresh shave and trimmed beard is a must.

3. Ideally, your business portrait showcases your personality and brand. This can be achieved through accessories and backgrounds. A scarf/tie in a signature color, or a favorite jewelry piece can establish your brand; a background that suits your interests/uniqueness can set the stage for what clients can expect when working with you, and establish common interests.

4. If you regularly wear glasses - wear them. You want to be recognizable. However, glare and lens distortion is a problem. To eliminate reflections, glare and odd distortions of the face bring along a pair of empty frames.

5. Relax and have fun. It will reflect in your images.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT GARLAND PHOTOGRAPHY and Garland:

Garland Photography will be celebrating over 30years in business! We are so grateful for all our wonderful clients that have trusted us over all these years and that continue to use our business. Many have been with us when we still used film! My wife and I LOVE working with people and helping them create lasting legacies for their home.

I(Garland) am from a small town in Tennessee, where I was studying art at the University of Tennessee but couldn’t pass up an opportunity to move to San Diego, CA. I continued to study art and photography in San Diego where I met my wife Kathy(who was born in Nebraska and moved to Colorado before she moved to San Diego. After daughter was born, we wanted to move closer to family and Colorado has been our home for over 30 years.

Kathy and I enjoy camping, spending time backpacking, and traveling when possible. We also enjoy spending time with their two kids, Sierra and Tevis and our two Jack Russells.
