Yes! Most people aren’t comfortable with lights and a camera pointed at them. The most flattering positions for your face and body type are coached and directed in the session. I specialize in headshots and understanding the subtleties of personal expression.

You should bring more not less clothing options for us to choose from for great headshots. We will choose your outfits together based on desired messaging with color and skin tone considered as well. Freshly pressed suits, shirts, ties, dresses, and blouses are best. Solids and textures work nicely on camera, and the occasional print, too. Extras like sweaters are good sometimes, too, plus you can’t beat a solid turtleneck.

Yes, if you wear glasses daily. I can adjust the lighting removing most of the reflective glare in the lenses.

Hair and make-up is up to you. I encourage light makeup and any lipstick if you wear it for moisture is fine just not matte, please. You can bring make-up to refresh and we can add as we go, if need be. Men don’t need makeup for headshots.

The biggest thing is that it creates more engagement with the viewer. We want people to make a connection with you and your eyes and your expression. We want you to appear confident and approachable and up close. Based upon my experience this is the best course. Plus, everyone knows what the top of your head looks like! You will receive multiple crops in any case for all formats.

No, there are no galleries. Actually, choosing your final images is a very easy thing to do. We select your favorite images immediately after we finish shooting for three reasons. One, we insure immediate quality feedback about your expressions. Two, we can dialogue about specific applications again. Three, you willl receive your final images more quickly!
