Discovering the Top-notch Real Estate Agent Headshots: A Contemporary Handbook
Real Estate Agent Headshot Ideas
Real estate agent headshots don’t have to be extravagant or intricate to make a lasting impression. Our conviction lies in the fact that headshots and lifestyle photos that showcase traits like:
- character
- charisma
- and relatability
have a remarkable impact on viewers – a notion agreed upon by the real estate agents we’ve collaborated with!

Comprehensive Guide to Best Realtor Photos: Topics Covered
Our guide delves into the details of capturing the finest real estate headshots, team photos, and lifestyle images. We cover three major topics, which are:
- Defining your brand for a coherent representation in your real estate agent photos (extremely crucial)

Unlocking the Secrets: How to Get Inspired for Your Real Estate Headshots
Step One: Defining Your Identity
Before you start brainstorming real estate agent headshot ideas or lifestyle photos, take a moment to reflect on your true identity and express it through your photographs. This is the most crucial aspect that sets your headshots and lifestyle images apart.
Avoid pretending to be someone you’re not, as it will come off as artificial. Defining your identity also helps you when selecting your wardrobe. You’ll be able to avoid purchasing outfits that aren’t true to your style but are trendy.
This approach can backfire, as it will leave you feeling uncomfortable and unauthentic in front of the camera.
Look at the real estate agent headshots and lifestyle pictures below. You can quickly gain insight into who these real estate agents are based on their clothing choices and their activities in the photographs.
Step Two: Maximizing Your Target Client Reach with Real Estate Headshot Outfits
As with anything in life, it’s impossible to excel in everything. Therefore, blindly trying to work with every type of client is not a wise decision.
Mapping out your real estate headshot ideas helps you attract the kind of clients you want to work with!
Start by listing the top three qualities of your ideal client. Great questions to ask yourself include:
- Where do they reside?
- What is their occupation?
- What are their interests and hobbies?
The two real estate team photos below exude entirely different energies to potential clients based on their wardrobe, interaction and photoshoot location.
One appears to be more corporate and authoritative, while the other emits a fun and approachable vibe.
This detail matters and can significantly impact the direction of your real estate headshot ideas.
Modern Real Estate Team Photos Require Answers to These Questions
Defining your identity and target client is fundamental to creating a brand, and it’s Marketing 101.
As demonstrated in the examples above, you are a company and must carefully construct your brand to entice your ideal clients and inform potential clients of your unique selling proposition.
In addition to helping you select your wardrobe, these questions also assist with determining where to take your real estate photos and the energy and vibe you should strive to capture.

Top Tips for Male Realtor Headshots: Preparing for a Successful Photoshoot
To ensure that your male realtor headshots turn out great, we’ve put together some tips for you to follow before your photoshoot.
1: Wardrobe & Clothing
Your wardrobe is a critical part of your real estate agent headshots and lifestyle photos, and we want to help you make the best choices.
- If you have a lighter skin tone, avoid wearing solid white as it can wash you out. If you must wear white, layer it with a darker piece to break it up.
- Accessories are a great way to add personality to your photos. Consider incorporating an interesting tie or fun socks to show off your style.
- Make sure your clothes fit well and are tailored if possible. Baggy clothes can make you look larger than you are.
- Bold, bright colors work well for photos, while soft pastels can look washed out.
- Avoid small patterns like herringbone and gingham, as they can cause a moiré effect on camera. Stick with larger patterns or solids.
2: Skin and Hair
- Moisturize your skin and lips before the shoot to avoid flakiness and dryness showing up in your headshots.
- Style your hair as you would when meeting clients or hosting an open house to look put together.
- Bring a comb and hair spray (or other products you usually use) for quick touch-ups or flyaway taming during the session.

Tips for Taking Great Female Realtor Headshots
Here are some tips to help you prepare for your real estate agent headshots and lifestyle photoshoot so that you can feel confident and have fun!
1: Your Mindset Matters
Your attitude and mindset can greatly impact the outcome of your realtor headshots and lifestyle pictures.
Don’t overthink everything and trust your photographer’s creativity. Remember, it’s a collaborative effort between you and your photographer to create beautiful images.
2: Makeup & Hair
- Plan to have your hair and makeup done for your real estate agent headshots? Keep your makeup clean and natural to avoid looking too heavy or outdated.
- Avoid trying new products leading up to your shoot, and refrain from any facial treatments that may cause reactions or breakouts.
- Freshen up your hairstyle at least a week before your session to give it time to grow out.
- Avoid getting a haircut the day before your shoot. Bring your usual styling products to keep flyaways and frizz under control.
- Blowout bars can be a great option for the day of your real estate agent headshots.
4: Jewelry, Clothing, and Color Choices
- Less is more when it comes to jewelry for real estate agent headshots. Opt for smaller pieces that won’t distract from you in lifestyle pictures.
- Avoid clothes with odd shapes that may distort your body shape and ensure your undergarments are not visible.
- Stick with solid, bold colors and avoid soft pastels that may look washed out.
- Avoid small patterns and graphics that can be distracting.
- Choose clothes that reflect your personality and the type of clothes you want to attract.
FAQ’s About Our Headshot Sessions
What are some realtor outfit ideas?
Men should stick with solid colors and avoid items with large graphics or tiny patterns like herringbone as it will not show up accurately on camera. Men can also spruce up their wardrobe by adding in interesting ties, pocket squares or socks. Women should also stick to solid colors and avoid clothes that are too big or too tight. A little black dress with a nice blazer is always a good choice as are jeans, a fitted blouse and some heels or sneakers, depending on your target customer.
How do I prepare for my real estate headshots?
- Have a pre-planned game plan that includes where you want to shoot, what you plan to wear and what type of shots you want to capture. For example, smiling or walking shots or photos of you working on your iPad.
- Have your clothes ready to go the night before.
- Get a good nights rest so you arrive rested.
- Have something to eat. You do not want to be shooting and moving around while being hungry.
- Relax and have fun. Do not over think every little movement you do. Otherwise you run the risk of your poses look fake.
What should I consider when choosing a location for my real estate team photos?
First, think about your teams overall style and the type of aesthetic you’re trying to convey to potential clients. Is your team more corporate and straight-forward? Or more laid back and go-with-the-flow? Pick a location that best fits your teams vibe. Secondly, consider whether or not you will need to get permission for the location. For example, you can not walk into a hotel lobby and assume you are ok to take photos. Locations like this have a image they want to maintain and you need prior written or verbal consent from the owner, manager, etc
What are some creative ideas for real estate team photos?
Incorporate the interests of the team into your photos. For example, does everyone like to go gokart driving? See if it’s possible to pull that activity off in your photoshoot. Otherwise, pick a notable landmark in your area that you feel best represents your teams energy.
How can I use my real estate headshot and team photos in my marketing?
You’ll have access to use your final photos on social media (like updating your profile), on your website (like your teams about me), on marketing material like brochures or home listings and even on business cards.
How often should I update my real estate headshot and team photos?
It’s recommended you update your team photos at least once a year. Throughout that time you will gain and lose members of your time or they will change. For example, some may gain/lose weight or others may change their appearance (hair color, etc). You want to keep your photos fresh and updated, not stale.
What is your experience with real estate headshots?
We have been working with real estate agents for well over 10+ years and are very experienced with photographing and posing single agents or large teams.
Can you suggest any locations or backdrops for the photoshoot?
I’ll work with you on narrowing in on locations for your photoshoot. However, please note that I do not have “favorite” places to shoot. The reason is because every agent and team is different in personalities and brand. Ultimately, it is up to you to figure out what your aesthetic is and what your personal brand is. Knowing the answer to that question will help you narrow in on a location.
How many photos will I receive and in what format?
The number of photos you receive vary depending on which package you select. Please inquire for more info.
What is your turnaround time for delivering the final photos?
Agents receive the proofs fro the shoot 4-5 days after the session. You will receive an online gallery where you can review all the images captured and start narrowing down to the final number of images included in your package. After you make the final selections, it will take another 4-5 days for you to receive the final retouched photos via a WeTransfer link.
Do you offer any retouching services?
Absolutely! We will professionally retouch the final photos you selected. Retouching includes removal of blemishes, softening lines, whitening eyes and teeth and reducing the amount of stray hairs. Extensive retouching is also available, like body shaping for an additional cost.

Real Estate Team Photography Tips
When it comes to taking photos of a real estate team, careful planning and coordination are required since multiple individuals and personalities are involved. Below are some questions to consider during the planning phase in order to capture the best real estate team photos.
1: Reflect Your Team’s Personality
Your team’s personality should be taken into consideration when deciding on the style of your real estate team photos. Depending on whether you want to look more serious or laid-back, the location(s) and poses you choose can help capture the desired vibe. Additionally, drawing inspiration from your favorite TV show or film can result in a creative and unique team photo.
2: Coordinate Wardrobe and Colors
Your team’s wardrobe and color choices can reflect your brand and vibe, as well as the location and type of clients you sell to. For example, a team selling close to the water may opt for more relaxed and easy-going attire, while a team aiming for a more sophisticated look may choose an all-black wardrobe.
3: Capture Lifestyle Photos of the Team
Incorporating group activities that the team frequently does together can help create more dynamic and engaging real estate team photos. Activities such as golfing, grabbing a drink, or participating in charity work can add depth and interest to your photos, and prevent them from appearing too stiff and posed.
