Why a Professional Business Headshot Matters
In today’s digital-first world, your online image speaks before you do. Whether you’re a business owner, executive, entrepreneur, or job seeker, a professional business headshot is a vital tool for building trust and credibility.
A great headshot:
- Conveys confidence and approachability
- Supports your personal and professional brand
- Sets you apart in competitive industries
- Shows that you take your career seriously
At Longroad Studio in St. Louis, we understand the nuances of posing, lighting, and expression that bring out your most authentic and empowered self. We guide you through every step of the process to ensure you walk away with images that feel genuine and professional.
What to Wear for a Professional Headshot
Your wardrobe plays a major role in how your headshot is perceived. Here are a few wardrobe tips for women’s headshots:
- Stick to solid colors. Avoid busy patterns that distract from your face. Jewel tones, soft neutrals, navy, and black all work well.
- Tailored pieces work best. A well-fitted blazer, blouse, or structured dress adds polish and shape.
- Avoid logos or large prints. Keep the focus on you—not the clothes.
- Bring options. We encourage bringing 2–3 outfits for variety during your session.
- Minimal jewelry is key. Small studs, a simple necklace, or no jewelry at all helps keep the look clean and professional.

Light, Natural Makeup for a Polished Look
For professional headshots, less is more when it comes to makeup. The goal is to enhance your features while keeping a natural, fresh appearance.
Here are a few makeup tips for women’s headshots:
- Use a matte foundation or BB cream. This helps reduce shine under studio lighting.
- Define the eyes. Soft eyeliner, neutral eyeshadow, and mascara help your eyes pop without being overdone.
- Even out skin tone. A little concealer can go a long way—especially under the eyes or around the nose.
- Stick with neutral lips. Mauves, berries, and soft pinks photograph best. Avoid glossy or shimmery finishes.
- Avoid SPF-heavy products. They can cause unwanted reflection in studio lighting.
If you prefer, we offer access to professional makeup artists who understand how to apply camera-ready makeup specifically for headshot sessions.
