Clothing:

  • Simple is best.
  • Wear comfortable, well-fitted clothing.
  • Make sure your clothes are clean and ironed or pressed.

  • Avoid showing too much skin.
  • Don’t worry about shoes. Those won’t be in the photos.

  • Tame fly-aways as much as possible. The photographer will help with this.
  • You may want to bring a hairbrush or comb to the session.
  • Men: a clean shave looks great.

Makeup:

  • Should be simple and well done.
  • The focus should be on bringing out your best features.

Glasses:

  • Check that they rest level on your face.
  • Clean lenses.

The photographer will have a lint brush, lens cloth, mirror, and spray bottle with water available for your use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring more multiple changes of clothing?
Since this is a mini headshot session, the timing only allows for one set of clothing. Please be ready for your scheduled session.
Can teams be part of a session?
Because these are mini sessions, the timing and studio arrangement only allow for one person per session. In case of teams, please book a separate session for each team member for their individual headshots. The individual photos can be digitally grouped at an additional cost.
How much body will be shown?
Headshots display only the upper body and are focused on the face and eyes. Retouched photos are cropped from the mid-section of the upper body.
What should I bring?

Just yourself and your smile, although you may want to bring a brush or comb. A lint brush, a lens cloth, a spray bottle containing water, and a hand mirror will be provided.

How do I pay for the session?

We accept payment by credit card or email transfer. Payment is due at the session.
