However, one thing I\u2019ve learned from my personal photography business on the side is that relaxation can make or break an image.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The saying <\/span><b>\u201cThe eyes are the window of the soul\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> truly attests to this, too\u2014if you\u2019re uncomfortable and rigid, it will definitely show. We don\u2019t want that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before coming to get your picture taken, I recommend you make funny faces in the mirror to warm yourself up because there isn\u2019t anything to be nervous about. Doing so will help you relax and let your personality shine through when you\u2019re in front of the camera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because the studio backdrop is grey with a purple tint, you can wear pretty much any color and your headshot will pop. Make sure your outfit is not only comfortable, but also true to your personality\u2014this helps kick your picture-nerves to the curb even quicker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/xtnAuzvEZhdu0\/giphy.gif\" width=\"465\" height=\"262\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall, I love meeting new students and taking photos they are happy with, so if you\u2019d like more, just speak up and strike a pose!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>You can get your headshot taken this semester on Sept, 18, Oct. 16, and Nov. 20\u2014this isn\u2019t something you want to miss.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Curious what else is on the docket for Fall\u2019s virtual career events?
