What to Expect at a Denver Headshots Photography Session
Creating a Relaxed & Empowering Headshot Experience
Your headshot is more than just a photo—it’s your personal brand, your confidence, and your story, all in one powerful image. At our Denver Headshots studio, we’re here to make sure your session is as comfortable and uplifting as possible. Whether you’re updating your headshot for a new role, a LinkedIn refresh, or simply to feel your best, here’s exactly what you can expect when you work with us.
A Warm Welcome at Our Denver Studio
From the moment you step into our gorgeous Denver studio located in the historic Dry Ice Factory, you’ll be greeted with a smile and a welcoming atmosphere. We know stepping in front of a camera can feel intimidating, so we’ve designed every part of our process to put you at ease. We’ll start by getting your wardrobe set up, making you a cup of warm coffee, and chatting about your goals, career, and personal style. This isn’t just about taking a picture—it’s about getting to know you so we can create a headshot that feels truly authentic.
Wardrobe and Prep
We’ll take time to review your wardrobe options and work together to pick the pieces that best reflect your personality and brand. Need help deciding? We’ve got you covered with expert advice on colors, textures, and fits that look best on camera. If you’ve opted for professional hair and makeup services (highly recommended for a polished, camera-ready look), you’ll sit back and relax while our skilled artists get you ready for your close-up.
Coaching and Direction
Once your look is set, it’s time to step in front of the camera. Don’t worry if you’re not sure what to do—that’s our job! Aaron Lucy and Tommy Collier are experts at creating a relaxed, fun environment. They’ll guide you into poses and expressions that feel natural, confident, and approachable. From posture tips to facial expression coaching, we’ll provide constant guidance to ensure you’re looking your best. We’ll even throw in a few jokes to help you relax and enjoy the experience.
The Session Flow
We’ll start with a few test shots to adjust the lighting and help you get used to the camera. Bright studio lights might feel a bit overwhelming at first, but you’ll quickly get comfortable. As the session progresses, we’ll work through outfit changes and different poses, always tailoring each shot to your goals. Whether you’re going for a corporate look, a creative vibe, or something in between, we’re here to capture your unique personality.
Real-Time Feedback
Throughout the session, we’ll pause to review images on a monitor. This collaborative approach ensures you’re happy with what we’re capturing and allows us to make adjustments in real time. See something you love? Let us know! Not sure about a particular angle? We’ll fix it. This process empowers you to feel in control and confident, ensuring you walk away with images you absolutely love.
Final Review and Wrap-Up
As we near the end of the session, we’ll focus on perfecting those final images. Expressions tend to become more natural and confident as the shoot progresses, so this is often when the magic really happens. After capturing your best looks, we’ll email the proof photos, allowing you to select your favorites from your headshot session. From there, we’ll handle the retouching process to ensure your final images are polished and professional—without losing the authenticity that makes you, you.
Why Our Headshot Process Stands Out
At Denver Headshots, we don’t just take photos; we create experiences. Every part of our process is designed to make you feel comfortable, confident, and celebrated. Our personalized coaching, collaborative approach, and commitment to excellence ensure you’ll leave with more than just a photo—you’ll leave with a renewed sense of confidence.
