Mini Sessions

We want to make sure that the clothing you wear looks like you, reads as credible in your industry, and doesn't compete with your face for attention. Here are some suggestions:

Best Colors

• Jewel tones (navy, emerald, burgundy, deep teal) — universally flattering on camera, read as confident and polished, work for nearly every skin tone
• Solid neutrals (charcoal, camel, soft white, black) — timeless, professional, never date the photo
• One accent color is great — a colorful blazer, scarf, or top — but keep it to one statement piece

Colors to avoid:

• Pure white (can blow out next to skin, especially with simple lighting setups)
• Busy patterns, plaids, fine stripes, or logos (they create moiré/distortion and pull focus from the face)
• Neon or fluorescent shades (distract and can color-cast onto skin)
• Head-to-toe black (can look flat and overly somber unless intentional and broken up with texture)

General Styling Tips to Include

• Fit matters more than the brand — well-tailored basics beat expensive ill-fitting pieces
• Layer when possible (blazer + top) — gives variety across shots without full outfit changes
• Iron/steam everything before arriving— wrinkles show more than people expect on camera
• Think about your industry's "uniform" — wear what makes a potential client trust you instantly
• Skip logos and busy jewelry — statement earrings or a simple necklace is plenty; avoid noisy bracelets if hands will be in frame
