What Makes A Great Realtor Headshot in Sacramento?

A realtor headshot is all about striking a balance of exuding confidence, being warm, and portraying an image that you’ll get the job done. People want to know that their property is in good hands, whether they’re buying or selling in Sacramento.

With over 10+ years of taking professional portraits, here are ways to capture a great portrait that will capture the attention of Sacramento real estate clients:

Create An Instant Connection With Clients from Your Headshots

Incorporate a Sacramento landmark in the background of your real estate agent headshots, such as the Tower Bridge or the State Capitol. Future clients will be drawn to your headshot and real estate business, as they sense familiarity with your brand.

A Wardrobe That Resonates With Sacramento Clients

As Sacramento is the capital of California, it’s influenced heavily by the state government. As a realtor, this means that your wardrobe has to lean more on the business professional side, especially for your headshot. This will help you seem credible to existing clients and attract future clients.

Since, the Sacramento Kings are the local basketball team. It’s a nice touch to accent your realtor wardrobe with a slight bit of royal purple, such as your tie or pocket square, for your professional headshot.

Warm, Approachable, and Confident Facial Expressions

Most of the real estate clientele in Sacramento work in government or corporate offices. To attract these clientele, it’s important to have a warm, yet confident facial expression in your headshots. Avoid looking too excited, but don’t look too cold either. Striking a right balance will get you the clientele you’re looking for.

How To Prepare for Your Realtor Headshot in Sacramento

In order to get a polished headshot, it’s highly recommended to prepare for your headshot session. Here are the tips that our 415Headshots’ photographers suggest:

Hone In On Your Style

The greater Sacramento area clientele range from government workers, health care professionals, farmers, and everything in between. If you’re targeting a specific type of clientele, it’s important to cater your professional headshot to that demographic. For example, if you’re catering to the government workers, you’ll want to opt in for a headshot with an urban background and a business professional wardrobe.

Prepare Your Skin and Hair Before Your Headshot Session

Be mindful of when you’re taking your realtor headshot in Sacramento.

  • Summer-time headshots: If you’re taking your headshots during the summer, it’s important to hydrate the skin, especially in the heat waves of over 100+ degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure to drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your session. On the day of your headshot session, feel free to add a shine-free moisturizer to your skin.

During the summer months of our city, it can also get humid, which may lead to frizzy hair. Add in anti-frizz products to your hair to ensure that your hair is looking its best for your headshot.

  • Winter-time headshots: If you’re taking your headshots in the winter of our city, also hydrate the skin in the days leading up to your session. In the wintertime, the air is often dry and can lead to chapped lips. Please make sure to moisturize lips to avoid cracked lips before your headshot session.

Relax and Trust The Process

Our headshot photographers understand that you’re probably not in front of the camera everyday. We’re highly trained in figuring out what studio/outdoor lighting will work best for you, how to coach you on poses, and walk you through different facial expressions. All you have to do is to make sure you come in with a relaxed and open mind.

If you don’t believe us, look at our reviews. For example, a previous Sacramento client has mentioned on Google Reviews, “the experience was smooth and professional. Jasmeet was easy to work with and I could feel that he knew exactly what to do…”

Where to Take Your Realtor Headshot in Sacramento?

Your real estate agent headshot should highlight your knowledge about Sacramento and create an instant rapport with your future clients. The backdrop and location of your professional headshot plays an important role for this aspect.

For example, if you’re a residential real estate agent, you should opt for an outdoor headshot in a neighborhood like Elk Grove, Roseville, or Folsom to showcase your familiarity with residential neighborhoods.

On the other hand, if you’re a commercial realtor, you should opt for a headshot background that showcases the skyscrapers in downtown Sacramento. The background of the skyscrapers can highlight your connection to the business community in our city.

If you want to cater to both commercial and residential real estate customers, opt for a brick-wall background in your headshot. The brick wall background caters to residential customers looking for properties in a more urban environment, while still drawing in commercial clients. A great place to take these type of headshots would be nearby the brick buildings in North Oak Park of Sacramento.


In addition, studio headshots are a classic way to supplement your brand. Oftentimes, realtors take studio headshots against a charcoal gray or off-white background. These studio headshots should be taken in conjunction with the outdoor headshots to have a holistic realtor image.

How Much Does a Realtor Headshot Cost in Sacramento?

The cost of a realtor headshot in Sacramento varies on a lot of factors, such as how long your headshot session is, the number of pictures that you’d like licensing rights to, number of wardrobe/backdrop locations you’d like, and the experience of the photographer you’re hiring.

The average realtor headshot session can range from $149 to $399. This price range will provide a consultation, a headshot session, and at least 100% licensing rights to one image that is retouched. If a realtor headshot session costs more than this, it’s usually because a realtor may opt in for hair and make-up, extra retouched images, or additional licensed images.

At 415Headshots Inc., we understand that realtors need headshots that are high-quality and won’t break the bank. This is why our headshot sessions start at $209, which comes with a 15-minute coached headshot session, 100% licensing rights to all images that we take, and 2 custom, retouched images of your choice.
