When choosing what to wear or bring the day of the shoot we always remind you of our #1 rule: you have to love it! 

We encourage you to bring a range of different options for clothing you will be comfortable shooting in. If you are having trouble picking items we suggest you bring a range of different colors and necklines. If you have any kind of doubt in your mind on whether something will work or not we always suggest to just bring it along. You don’t have to dress seasonal, your clothing can vary from t-shirts, tank tops to sweaters and light jackets. We love textures and layers but we try to keep the jewelry to a minimum. Studs or small earrings work and simple necklaces, anything hanging or chunky will usually draw too much attention away from you in a headshot. If you are unhappy with your current wardrobe and decide to go shopping, we will keep the tags on in case you choose to return any items. We also have a steamer at the studio and will remove any wrinkles if desired. 

Your choice of wardrobe will help add the finishing touches to your overall image and photoshoot experience!

 

Women's makeup:

We encourage makeup for all women and that is something we are able to provide at the studio. The makeup we apply takes into account the lighting we use. We do not like to overdo anything and keep everything looking natural and simple, a little makeup goes a long way! As we are shooting we will also do touch ups or make small changes if necessary. On the contrary, if you rather have a bold look from the start you can inform us at the beginning and we will gladly help!

Women's hair:

We ask that everyone come in with their hair already styled in a way you will be comfortable shooting in. We want you to be comfortable with the style you choose.

If you desire an overall hair redo or choose to straighten your natural curly hair by getting a blow-out, there may be an extra $50 charge for our stylist to do that. This is a discussion that can be had with us prior to your session, this will prevent any miscommunications on the actual day of the shoot. 

Men Makeup:

Overall makeup on men is not something we suggest. If desired, our makeup artist iis able to provide light grooming for skin and hair on the shoot for $35. All our work is retouched afterwards, so any blemishes will be taken care of during that process.

Men Facial Hair:

If you have facial hair and prefer to shoot with it we will be of assistance and regardless of the level of growth we will help shave or trim it down once we’ve gotten the scruff covered. We just ask you bring any grooming products required.

 

Once you have gone through the images that were made available on the provided proofing gallery and you have made a selection you can place an order for retouching with us or you may also choose to take the images to your lab of choice. Generally any retouches is conducted by our retouching team and this is done for quality purposes. High resolution images are not released to our clients except for the case that clients purchase a full buyout of the entire session for $200 (High-Res Un-retouched). If this option is chosen, the opportunity to work with our retouching team will still be available.

A professional headshot has multiple purposes, it can be displayed on your website, resume, or marketing materials such as postcards and business cards - to name a few.  

Whether you are applying for a new job, updating a previous headshot, or simply updating your new display picture, the headshot of your choice will help others get an idea of who you are as a person.  Your professional headshot is able to help someone put a face to your work and brand.

It is important you update your headshot as your appearance changes, this ensures that you appear authentic and there is not any disconnect upon meeting any new professional contacts. 

A professional headshot is an investment in yourself that displays your professionalism and overall lifestyle and work ethic. When you choose a trustworthy photographer whose work you love and believe in, the end result and cost for your headshot will be well worth it. 

If you want to be regarded as a professional you are expected to have an image that represents this message. This image will not only boost your confidence when others compliment on the level of professionalism you display, but also be more inclined to have a first initial meeting. Potential clients, partners, investors, etc., within other industries will also get an insight of who you are an individual, just based on what photo you choose to display!  

Trust is a huge contributing factor that will help you choose the right headshot photographer for yourself. Although the work they deliver may be over the top, you also have to take into account their work ethic and see if they the right fit for you. Many photographers offer an initial free consultation, within this time you are able to converse with them and get an idea of their character and how their work style is. 

If tension is ever detected, chances are, that photographer is not ideal and that will come to show in photos taken. There has to be mutual trust and communication. 

An ideal photographer will lead the session in a way where they will not only make you feel comfortable and let your personality beam,while having a great sense of direction and making sure they are coaching you efficiently to get the best shots!
