Have you ever noticed when first meeting someone their smile is what captivates you? If you met your last date online, maybe you became interested in them because of their smiling profile picture. Perhaps you decided to choose a person for an interview because their smile spoke of self-assuredness and competency.
As a photographer, I take plenty of headshots and record many memories for people of all ages for a plethora of events or reasons. One of the biggest takeaways I hear from my clients is how they wish they could feel more confident in their smiles, and there’s nothing more frustrating than being distracted by your smile when you look back at photographs of yourself! If you’re ready to feel more satisfied with the reflection looking back at you, here are four tips that can help to get your smile “picture-ready:
One: Prioritize Dental Hygiene
This is probably the easiest way to prep your smile not just for the camera, but also for every-day interactions. Sure, it is preventive, but regular maintenance has long-term results as well. Daily brushing and flossing can prevent cavities, staining, breaking, and even gum disease. You’ll not only have a smile that you’re proud to look back at, but it also helps you avoid costly restorative treatments in the future.
Two: Talk to Your Dentist About Invisalign
Misaligned teeth are one of the most common concerns I hear about from my clients. Even if it’s not incredibly noticeable to others, you will always be able to pick out the flaws in photographs of yourself, which will make you less likely to feel good about being in them. The best part is you don’t have to sacrifice self-confidence with brackets and wires. Your local Richardson Dentist offers the transforming benefits of Invisalign to straighten your teeth, and the clear aligners are impossible to see in photographs!
Three: Get Professional Whitening
Who doesn’t want a brighter smile for their next headshot? After all, photoshop can only do so much! There are plenty of over-the-counter whitening products out there, but if you really want a noticeable and long-lasting result, I highly recommend professional whitening. Unlike OTC treatments that can take months to make a difference and may not end up working, your Richardson dentist uses a highly effective in-office whitening system that will brighten your smile by several shades instantly. Pearly whites can also mask or minimize a less-than-perfect smile.
Four: Be Your Most Confident Self
It’s easy to just act naturally in front of a camera when you feel confident. The best images are captured when a person is truly enjoying the moment without a single worry about how their smile might look in the photographs. My team’s passion is to help people live and love their lives while capturing moments for them. Let us get to know you and provide you with beautiful memories in a fun and genuinely professional way.
