We have all heard of headshots, but have you heard of lifestyle headshots? They are honestly  the same thing. However, headshots remind me of those picture day booth step ups that you would have when the school was taking your photo for the yearbook. & honestly they always felt unnatural to me. I personally would feel very stuffy and would always feel like my smile was fake.

But Lifestyle Headshots are 100% about you and 100% you. I love the idea of Lifestyle headshots, because it takes you out of a cold room and puts you in your element or in an element where you feel a lot more freeing.


So, What Are Lifestyle Headshots?

They are headshots that you take to not only bring professionalism to your brand of business, but also to bring your personality out as well. These are perfect for print and web, but also for social media content. Yes, your social media can be filled with everything your brand or business does, but we also want to see the face behind that incredible brand or business.


So, Let’s chat about all the ways you can use them…

Lifestyle Headshots are not meant to be scary, but once planned out and thought through they can really be highly beneficial. Also, if you have a team they are perfect for creating memories and getting your group together. & remember lifestyle headshots do not have to be outside, they can still be inside as well. I will always be partial when it comes to lifestyle headshots, but I promise once you give them a chance so will you. However, if you are the type who still enjoys normal headshots then I completely support you and there is nothing wrong with that.
