> Headshot Session
This is a headshot session. We will not capture your full body. (Above the waist only)
Skin- Lotion real good. Any dry or ashy spots will show in your photos (elbows, fingers, etc). Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. We encourage the ladies to wear professional makeup to even out their skin tone and lip and eye cover to enhance the attention of their face. Please book with a professional makeup artist and bring touch up makeup and lip coverage. We highly recommend booking an appointment with a makeup artist in advance.
Fingernails- Please make sure your fingers and hands are well hydrated and manicured. The camera will catch dry cuticles.
Hair- Be sure to get a hair cut/hair style that will not be in the way of your face, but show your best look. If there is anything that you may not be comfortable with, please let the photographer know. If you decide to wear hair extension/wigs/weave, please have it in place and prepare it with “hair control” to keep it in place.
Eyes- Be sure to get plenty of sleep and rest the night before. It will show in your eyes if you don’t.
Teeth- Be sure that no food is in between your teeth. The camera will get it.
Wearing your Mask: If you are still wearing a mask, be sure to wear a soft mask to avoid the mask marks on your face. We want to eliminate these marks in your portraits.
Outfit: Bring 1 outfit pressed. Avoid wrinkled clothes, white, and small strips; as they can make you appear flat and wide. Remove tag and stickers ahead of time. Bring complementary accessories to support your outfit.
Undergarments: please wear appropriately sized undergarments to support your chest, waist, and loins. Loose undergarments will show and appear saggy—and tight undergarments will create skin rolls. We ask that you be cautioned when considering white as a part of your wardrobe, as it does bring attention to undergarments.
Eating: To avoid sleepiness and feeling sluggish, don’t eat 1 hours before your session.
Props: You can bring any props to help cater to the theme of your photos, like a bible.
Please be on time; we will be on a time schedule. Don't bring a whole entourage with you. Less is best. The more people you have the more pressure you'll here on you. If you need a person to help out with your makeup/hair touchup, please bring them!
Parking may be limited.
