Getting Ready

What to Expect:

When you arrive, be prepared to sit and chat for 10-15 minutes or so, maybe with a cup of coffee or glass of water. (This doesn't count as your studio time.) This will give you a chance to relax and decompress from the traffic or whatever. Stressed headshots are not good! 

What to Wear: 

A headshot only shows the shoulders, or mid-chest, up to the top of the head, so the shirt/top is the most important item.  And remember:

• Keep it simple.
• Choose something you feel comfortable in. 
• Avoid busy patterns.  
• Go for a solid colors.  Pastels are best. 
• Consider bringing a solid black and/or white top/shirt   
• No logos. 
• Make sure your clothes are freshly pressed - no wrinkles.
• Pick out your clothes the day before, so you're not stressed the day of your session. 

What to Bring:

• Bring brushes, combs etc. for your hair
• Bring any cosmetics/hairspray you may need.
• Think about any props you might want (hats, sunglasses, etc.)

And Finally:

• Get a plenty of sleep.
• Manage your hairstyle to minimize flyaway hair.
• Men, if you tend to get a rash after shaving, shave early in the morning. 
• Try to be on time and relaxed.  

After Your Photo Session:

In 1-3 days, we will have your best pictures selected with basic edits.  We get rid of blinks, blurs and the like, crop them to 8x10 and do some basic color correction.  Those pictures will be posted to your private gallery on our website, and you'll be notified by email with a link when they are ready for you to see them and/or download them. From our website, you can also  select your final picks for more detailed retouching, if needed.
