Everything you need to know about selecting the right outfit, striking the perfect pose, and choosing the ideal background for professional lawyer headshots.

Why Are Attorney Headshots Important?

First impressions are formed in just a fraction of a second and can significantly impact how people perceive you.

Most initial interactions now happen online—whether through LinkedIn, law firm websites, or client reviews. Hiring managers, potential clients, and other legal professionals often evaluate an attorney's credibility based on their online presence, and a high-quality headshot plays a critical role in that assessment.

A well-crafted attorney headshot helps establish trust and can make a lasting impression on colleagues, recruiters, and prospective clients.

How Should I Pose for a Lawyer Headshot?

Simplicity is key when it comes to posing for professional legal portraits.

  • Start with a confident yet approachable stance—a relaxed smile works well
  • The arms-crossed pose is widely used among attorneys as it conveys strength and authority
  • Candid or slight-angle shots can add a natural, engaging feel to your portrait

Our approach focuses on minimalist, professional poses that highlight confidence while maintaining authenticity.

What Should I Wear for a Lawyer Headshot?

Your choice of attire should reflect your practice area, target audience, and professional brand.

  • Traditional law firms (corporate, litigation, finance, etc.): A classic suit and tie or professional blazer is highly recommended
  • Boutique firms, solo practitioners, or legal consultants: Business attire may be slightly less formal but should still exude professionalism
  • General rule: Observe how successful attorneys in your field present themselves in headshots and align your wardrobe accordingly

When in doubt, dress for the role you aspire to, not just your current position. If you need guidance, we're happy to offer recommendations.

"I had a great experience with Andrew. As soon as I booked the appointment, he called me to align on my needs and expectations. During the photo shoot, he made me feel at ease and he took a lot of really good shots. It was hard to choose just a few. The editing process was really quick and even when I requested additional adjustments, he did them right away and made sure I was happy with the results. I'd highly recommend Andrew!"

"Andrew is an absolutely fantastic photographer. He is able to capture a variety of photos that tell a true 'story' through different lenses, angles, and lighting. I would 100% recommend Rocketa Industries to anyone who is looking for top-notch work."
