For your headshot session, we recommend arriving with your preferred makeup look, whether that be natural or foundational makeup. While we do not offer full makeup application, we are happy to assist in enhancing specific areas including the brows, eyes, cheeks, nose, and lips. If you prefer, you are welcome to bring your own makeup to use for these areas, so that you can use your preferred brands and colors. Our team understands that feeling comfortable and confident is crucial during your session, so please come with the makeup look you feel most comfortable and confident wearing. We'll work with you to help you look and feel your best.
To help you look your best, we ask that you come to the studio with your hair styled the way you would like to present yourself in your photos. We want your hair to look as close as possible to how it does on your best hair day, and we recommend avoiding the "just rolled out of bed" look. Our makeup artist will be available to ensure that your hair is shoot-ready, and we will discuss your hair preferences and make a game plan at the start of your session.
If you require a significant hair overhaul or need your naturally curly hair straightened, there may be an additional $50 charge for our makeup artist to blow it out for you.
While we generally do not recommend makeup for men, our makeup artist is available to provide light grooming for skin and hair during the shoot, if desired. If you are interested in this service, please inquire with us about pricing before your session. Please note that our professional retouching service can address any skin-related concerns, so there is no need to worry about these issues.
Please let us know in advance so that we can be sure to meet your needs and expectations.
