Being prepared for you photography session is important.

Hair for photographs

I don't know how I can drive home the importance of your hair, Bad hair can ruin your whole shoot! Play it safe and go to the hairdresser right before the shoot. The headshot will last for at least a year, don't be stuck with dull hair. But... don't style your hair in an unusual way, look like you normally do, maybe a bit neater for your headshot photography, photo shoot.

Nails for photographs

Please do not forget the importance of your hands in your portraits. Whether you choose to do your nails yourself or have them manicured, keep them clean and use coordinating colors. Photographs often show your feet as well.

Glasses for photographs

If you wear glasses most of the time, you will want to wear them in your photo session. To eliminate glare or reflections, bring empty frames or remove the lenses from your glasses. We can take photos with and without the glasses.

Suntans for photographs

Do not overdo the sun for a photo session. It looks great, but in moderation. Sunburn can be an expensive problem. It causes facial shine, red noses and cheeks, strap marks, hat lines and peeling.

Do some research before your photo shoot

Look at shots from the fashion magazines and glamour magazines and pay a close attention to poses, arms and legs placements and facial expressions of the models. Analyze those separately and as a complete composition. Bring the modelling photographs from the magazines of your choice with you to the shoot so we have some visual creative ideas to work with during your shoot.

Location

The majority of the photo shoots are done outside using natural light. However, I also typically use a couple of portable strobes for hair and side lighting. (know that depending on the weather, natural light may not be the best choice for your photography session)

Don't stress. Headshots should be fun--and I'll do everything possible to make you feel as comfortable and relaxed as I can.
