Jason Ranalli Headshots

Should you wear glasses in your headshot? Part 1.

This is one of the questions I get asked most often.

My answer is pretty simple: if glasses are part of how people see you every day, then they should probably be part of your headshot too.

AI headshots are definitely shaking up the space. They won’t replace real sessions, but they are opening up new ways to explore styles and ideas at scale.

Curious what actually works best for you? DM me and see the difference for yourself.

Two nearly identical shots… but one subtle difference changes everything. This is where objectivity matters most in selecting the right headshot.

As photographers, we’ll spend hours dialing in lighting, expression, body language, retouching, and every tiny detail, only for the final website layout to end up looking like someone sneezed headshots across a homepage. 😂

I heard this idea from a while back, and it's a good reminder that great headshots deserve great presentation too.

Saw a video from Pete Coco Photography talking about a shoot where a photographer kept pushing a client to do more and more zany poses.

Honestly, I get it. And this is part of why people are turning to AI headshots. Clients are already self-conscious, and photography is already an investment… the last thing they need is feeling even more uncomfortable in the process.

Here’s my take and how I work around this.

A quick little reminder for everyone booking a session with us.

Once your appointment is confirmed, we’ll send reminders leading up to your shoot so nothing gets missed. Please keep an eye on your messages and email so you don’t miss important updates, prep tips, or scheduling reminders.

We want your session to feel smooth, stress-free, and fun from booking day all the way to photo delivery.
