Headshots That Look Like You: Showcasing Personality With Lauren
There is a quiet pressure many people feel before a headshot session.
What should I wear? Do I need a blazer? Should I look more serious? More polished? More “professional”?
Lauren’s headshot session gently dismantled all of those questions.
Because the truth is this. Your headshot is not about dressing like someone you are not. It is about showing up as who you truly are.
You Do Not Have to Wear a Suit to Look Professional
One of the biggest misconceptions about professional headshots is that they require a suit, blazer, or corporate uniform.
Lauren’s session reminded us that professionalism looks different depending on your career, your clients, and how you actually show up in your work.
If you meet your clients in a t-shirt, a sweater, or a relaxed creative outfit, then that is exactly how your headshot should reflect you.
Your audience does not connect with a costume.
They connect with you.
When You Take the Mask Off
Lauren showed up without the need to perform or pretend. No shell. No overthinking. Just presence, personality, and ease.
And that is when the magic happened.
Her images feel approachable, confident, and real. They reflect the version of her that clients experience when they work with her, not a polished version created just for the camera.
Sometimes people are not looking for the most formal version of you.
They are looking for the most honest one.
Why Personality Matters in Your Headshot
Your headshot is often the first introduction. Before someone emails you, books you, or walks into the room, they see your photo.
A personality-driven headshot:
Builds trust before the first conversation
Helps clients feel connected to you instantly
Reflects how you actually work and communicate
Makes your brand feel human, not corporate
Allows the right clients to find and recognize you
Lauren’s session shows that when you allow your personality to lead, your headshot becomes more than an image. It becomes an invitation.
Headshot Express: Designed for Real People
This is exactly why Headshot Express sessions exist.
They are quick, intentional, and guided, but never rushed or rigid. Headshot Express is about capturing who you are, not forcing you into a mold.
Whether you are creative, corporate, relaxed, bold, or somewhere in between, these sessions are built to meet you where you are.
The Headshot Marathon is perfect if:
Your current headshot no longer feels like you
Your brand has evolved
You want updated images without a full branding session
You are ready to be seen clearly and confidently
Lauren’s session is a perfect example of what happens when you allow yourself to show up fully.
Let Your Headshot Match Your Energy
If you have been holding back because you think you need to look a certain way to be taken seriously, let Lauren’s story be your permission slip.
You do not need to wear a blazer if that is not who you are.
You do not need to perform professionalism.
You just need to be yourself.
And that is more than enough.
Headshot Express and Headshot Marathon sessions are now booking.
If you are ready for a headshot that actually looks like you, this is your moment.
