FIELD NOTES / PREPARATION

Preparing for professional headshots.

Plan clothing, image use, setting, and team scheduling before a professional headshot session with Light & Calm Photography in Boston.

Decide where the photograph will be used

A LinkedIn profile, company directory, and speaker biography may call for different crops. Share those uses, along with any company style requirements or existing team portraits that the new images should complement.

Choose clothing that feels familiar

Wear something well-fitting and comfortable that suits your professional setting. Bring an alternative layer or outfit if useful. Check for wrinkles and distracting details before arriving.

Leave space to settle in

You do not need a practiced pose. Allow time to get comfortable and follow gentle direction. A brief conversation about how you want to come across is more useful than trying to memorize expressions.

For teams, plan the schedule

Confirm the number of people, available space, and any constraints on individual availability. Assign a point of contact who can help keep the session organized and communicate any late changes.

Agree on the final use

Ask about image selection, retouching scope, file delivery, and timing before booking. Your proposal should reflect how the portraits will actually be used.
