3 Tricks to Look Better in Photos
They work even if you're not "photogenic!"
Our #1 goal is to make sure you look your absolute best on camera – no matter who you shoot with. Try these three simple tricks next time you’re getting your picture taken:
And one bonus tip: Genuinely laugh. Whether it’s a full-on, teeth-showing laugh or just a subtle chuckle with your lips closed, a real smile engages your face and makes you look more confident, warm, and approachable – exactly what you want in a great headshot. Our specialty is helping people without much on-camera experience look confident and natural in their photos. We’d love to work with you next! - The City Headshots Team |

Laura Jackson "Initially I was nervous about being photographed. I'm awkward as hell in front of the camera, but I needed the headshots for business purposes. They killed these pictures! They told me exactly how to pose and position my feet/shoulders to get the best angles for the shots. I'm so pleased with the outcome!" |
Nicole Wagner "They were incredibly responsive and emailed me within an hour to ask if I had questions or needed any help prior to the session. The photographer was super nice and reassuring, and knew exactly how to direct me. We stopped after each batch of pictures to make sure I liked them, and when I finally settled on a photo and submitted it for retouching, I received it back within one day." |
Sheila Foster "I have used City headshots now for the past 6 years. I have since had 4 shoots with them over the years, the most recent this month. The photographers are all excellent. If you need a headshot, this is the place to come. I tried out another photographer for a headshot but was disappointed. I am happy to report that City Headshots doesn't disappoint!" |
