Corporate Headshots in Charlotte, NC
What Not
To Do
The Face of Professional Success
Let’s be honest
your corporate headshot isn’t just a photo
It’s your first impression. Here’s what to avoid to ensure your image reflects the polished, professional you want on LinkedIn, your company website, or speaking engagements. They’re clean, focused, and intentionally simple to keep the attention on your expression and professional presence.
Wearing Busy Patterns or
Distracting Colors
Your headshot should highlight you, not your wardrobe. Loud prints, trendy patterns, and neon hues may seem fun—but they can steal attention and date your image quickly.
What works best:
Solid, timeless colors that flatter your skin tone and reflect the polished look expected in Charlotte’s professional community. Think navy, gray, white, or muted tones.
Overly Stiff or Forced
Expressions
This isn’t a passport photo. While you want to appear confident and professional, rigid poses or exaggerated smiles can come off as unnatural.
Our approach:
We guide you into natural, relaxed expressions that strike the perfect balance—so you look both competent and approachable to potential clients and employers.
Using Cropped Group Photos
or Old Selfies
If you’ve ever uploaded a cropped photo from a wedding or snapped a selfie in your car, you’re not alone—but it’s time for an upgrade.
Why it matters:
A high-quality headshot signals credibility. Investing in a professional photo shows you take your personal brand seriously—an essential in Charlotte’s growing business and networking scene.
Ignoring the
Background
Unmade beds, cluttered shelves, and office wall art have no place in your headshot. A distracting background pulls attention away from your face.
What we recommend:
Neutral, clean backgrounds—whether you’re at our Charlotte studio, your office, or on location in Uptown, Ballantyne, or Myers Park—designed to keep the spotlight on you.
