How would you describe your comfort level in front of a camera on a scale of 1-10? Ten means that you can’t get out of bed in the morning quick enough to be in front of the camera and strike a pose.

Hiding is your first instinct as you cringe at the thought of having your picture taken.

You booked a headshot session and are looking through your closet to find the perfect outfit to complement your eye color and face shape.

Anita answered my model call for a headshot series I wanted to create to educate clients about the importance of the right amount of make-up for business headshots.

Then she posted this story on her facebook page.
