What's the difference between headshot photos and lifestyle photos?

Headshots and lifestyle branding photos go hand in hand, and sometimes people have a hard time deciding which one to get. It all depends on what you are looking to get out of your photos. Maybe you just need to update your social media profile picture, or maybe you’re looking for content to be able to post about your business. Let’s break it down!

Headshots are just that! They usually consist of one or two outfits, and the goal is to get a clear professional image of your face. Headshots are usually used to update the ‘about’ section on your business websites, social media platform photos, etc.

Lifestyle photos are so much more. Lifestyle photos aim to tell a story! The goal of these photos is to visually communicate to your clients who you are. These photos can include action shots of you working, product photos, behind-the-scenes shots — anything! The goal is to convey you and your business with these photos.
