Understanding Executive and C-Suite Headshots
Executive and C-Suite headshots are professional portraits designed specifically for business leaders, including CEOs, presidents, vice presidents, directors, and managers. These headshots go beyond a standard business photo. They are crafted to reflect authority, professionalism, and approachability, aligning with both personal branding and the company’s image.
A strong executive headshot should look polished and intentional. It serves as a visual representation of the individual’s leadership style, credibility, and role within the organization. It also plays a key role in networking, media features, corporate websites, and speaking engagements.
The Significance of Executive Headshots
A professional headshot is an essential tool for executives and business leaders. It supports personal branding, builds trust, and strengthens your presence across both digital and professional spaces. Here's why investing in an executive headshot matters:
Personal Branding
Your headshot reflects your leadership style and values. A tech CEO might prefer a modern, forward-thinking look, while a financial executive may choose a more traditional image to convey reliability. The right photo helps communicate who you are and what you stand for.
Online Presence
In today’s digital world, platforms like LinkedIn rely heavily on visuals. A clean, professional headshot increases profile visibility and connection requests. It also helps you appear approachable and established.
Company Website
Corporate websites often feature executive profiles. High-quality headshots humanize your leadership team and help build trust with clients, investors, and prospective employees.
Media Features
If you're interviewed in the media or featured in articles, podcasts, or industry publications, a professional headshot provides a recognizable and polished image. It ensures consistency across public appearances.
Public Speaking and Events
When you're invited to speak at conferences or webinars, event organizers will request a headshot for promotional use. A strong photo reinforces your credibility and makes your presence feel intentional and prepared.
Showcasing Personality in Executive and C-Suite Headshot
A strong executive headshot captures more than just how you look. It gives others a glimpse into your personality and leadership style. Here are a few ways to bring that personality forward while keeping your image professional.
Expression Matters
Your expression can say a lot about who you are. If you're known for being warm and approachable, a genuine smile can communicate that. If you’re more serious or focused, a composed and confident look may be a better fit.
Add Personal Touches
Including small, meaningful details can help tell your story. If you’re passionate about a cause, a subtle symbol can reflect your values. If you’re a thought leader in your field, a relevant book or item in the frame can speak to your expertise without distracting from the image.
Use Action-Based Portraits
Photos that show you in a natural work setting can feel authentic and dynamic. You might be leading a meeting, presenting to a group, or having a thoughtful conversation. These moments can highlight how you carry yourself in professional spaces.
Include Both Formal and Casual Options
Different platforms and audiences may call for different styles. A classic, formal headshot works well for press, websites, and investor materials. A more relaxed image can be ideal for LinkedIn, speaking engagements, or internal communications. Having both gives you flexibility while keeping your brand consistent.
Preparation of Executive and C-Suite Headshots
A little preparation can make a big difference in how confident and professional you look in your headshots. Here are some of the most effective steps to help you feel ready and look your best.
Grooming
Schedule grooming in advance. This might include a fresh haircut, facial hair maintenance, and professional makeup if desired. Well-groomed individuals appear more polished and confident in photos.
Rest and Hydration
Get a full night of sleep and drink plenty of water the day before your session. Tired eyes and dry skin can show in your photos, so simple self-care goes a long way.
Accessories
Choose accessories that elevate your look without distracting from your face. A well-chosen tie, necklace, or watch can add personality while keeping the image clean and professional.
Props
If you'd like to include any items that reflect your role, choose them thoughtfully. A CEO might hold a branded pen or tablet. A creative director might feature a sketchpad or notebook. Props should feel natural and support your personal brand.
Practice Your Expression
Spend a few minutes in front of the mirror trying out different facial expressions. A genuine smile or calm, composed look can change the tone of your portrait. Find what feels most like you.
Ask for Feedback
Ask a trusted colleague or friend for honest input on your appearance, outfit, and expression. A second opinion can help you make small adjustments that improve the final result.
Stay Relaxed
Use simple relaxation techniques before and during your session. Deep breathing or a short mindfulness moment can help you feel more at ease, which shows in your expression and posture.

Specializing in Executive Portraits, C-suite, VP, President & Corporate Headshots
With both the networking space and social media climbing to new heights, it is important to portray yourself professionally- especially outside of interviews. Businesses like LinkedIn and Facebook are becoming more professional at every turn, and relying on professional photographs taken by a professional photographer for potential employees.
In my studio, I don’t just provide you with a professional-looking executive portrait or C-suite; I capture the person inside, and in such a unique and authentic way that it truly shows. I don’t ask people to fake a smile, which tends to look phony anyway. I capture authentic photos, and they are also the most professional-looking.
Similar to our executive portraits, I collaborate with you to help you make your session unique, utilizing colours that complement your style, and photos that better accentuate your distinct individuality.

Preparing for your C-suite, VP, President, or Executive Headshot Photography Session
To help maximize how fresh and vibrant you appear in photo capturing possibilities, please rest well the night before and drink several glasses of water.
Keep the entire day free so that you are not stressed or rushed.
Solids work even better than patterns.
The best colors are unobtrusive colors; otherwise, if you're wearing distracting or overly bright colors, they will take away from the sharpness of your eyes and how you feel, showcasing your personality.
Please, choose the colors that look good on you.
Simplistic is preferable. Clean is much simpler.
When choosing shirts, please pick a shirt without writing or a logo (avoid sports teams?).
For makeup, simply keep it light and practical: apply it like you're going to go to work on a normal day, and simply bring along blush, a few lipsticks in your usual shades, and a brush.
Bright colors are representative of youth, whereas very dark colors are representative of maturity.
Please bring along at least 4 outfits to try on (4 outfits will enable us to find the most complementary outfit for you through at least 1 flattering outfit option).
Please drink plenty of water and eat healthy to keep your energy up throughout the shoot. Hydration is important.
If you have them available, include eye drops to prevent your eyes from appearing red and irritated.
Men: please bring options to suit.
- Variety of outfits (dress casual to business formal)
- Optional suits and ties, business casual option;
- Optional casual;
Women: please bring a variety of options to suit.
- A variation of dress shirts to suits to business party casual with blouses;
