Professional hair and makeup services are available

My stylists are experts and have years of experience creating flawless hair and makeup.

The makeup artists are skilled at creating a natural look for women’s headshots. They can create a smoky eye, winged eyeliner, or a soft shimmery look. If you bring a photo of a favorite makeup look, they can recreate it for you.

My makeup artists and hairstylists have completed hours of professional training are licensed and follow strict hygiene procedures. They use disposable mascara wands and lipstick applicators. All non-disposable applicators are shampooed and cleaned thoroughly after each session.

Professional makeup artists often custom-blend foundations and lip colors to match your coloring. They’re able to do this because their range of products is so extensive.

Hairstylists have amazing professional kits with a wide array of professional products and styling tools. They are equally adept at giving you a super straight blow-out or creating soft waves. I suggest you bring a picture of yourself with your hair styled just as you like it.

Different professions require different types of headshots

I photograph everyone from lawyers to designers to musicians to professors, and they all need something a little bit different. Almost everyone wants a photo that makes them seem friendly and approachable.

The more conservative professions prefer suit jackets and simple jewelry and an in-studio setup.

Solopreneurs and creative people tend toward more casual lifestyle images. We’ll talk about what kind of image you want to present before your session.
