Professional header designer question

For you designers out there, how do I go about getting my photo in a header design?

Do I need to have a professional photo taken?

If so then what background color or does it not matter?

    The backgroud color does not really matter. You can cut yourself from any photo. But if you want it to be less work make the background only one color.

      Thanks for the help.

      Before I contacted a header company I just wanted to make sure I did not waste my money getting the 'wrong' type of photo taken from a studio.

      I assume these days that all studios provide them digital, correct?

      (have not taken a professional photo since the 80s!)

    I think you would be hard pressed trying to find a studio who DOESN'T use digital these days. Just make sure your photo is done in front of a white screen or any other solid background. This makes it very easy to work with.

    I recommend looking the camera straight on. I've noticed many real estate brokers (specifically) tilt their head, its kind of a industry 'fashion'.
    Makes you look suspect in my book.

    If you have your photo ready like the guys above suggested you could probably find someone to design a header with it over at fivrr.com fo $5.
