Towards the end of 2017, I discovered how much I enjoy photographing lifestyle headshot sessions for fellow entrepreneurs. The most common questions I receive from my clients are, "What do you recommend I wear for my photos? What colors and styles photograph best? Are there any patterns I should stay away from?" Luckily I've been photographing portraits for years, so I've picked up plenty of ideas for the best outfit styles and session planning tips!
