Absolutely! Although since our shooting time is pretty quick the easiest way to achieve different outfit looks is to choose pants that go with everything, wear an undershirt or tanktop so you can quickly change on the street, or bring a jacket or sweater to put on top of your original shirt. A simple jewelry change is also a great way to change a look on the go!

For a strong headshot we really want to focus our attention on your eyes, face, and smile. To achieve this I recommend wearing solid colors, as patterns can sometimes compete for attention and make a photo look busy. This isn’t a hard and fast rule, sometimes bold patterns pay off, so always defer to your personal style. Professional jackets or blazers look amazing, but anything with a collar always looks professional. Whatever you decide to wear please make sure it is wrinkle free and fits well. Your shoes, beltline, and nails will also be visible in photos, so please plan accordingly.

Yes! If you cancel 48 or more hours in advance of your scheduled session you are free to transfer your retainer fee to a different date, or receive a full refund. If you would like to cancel after the 48 hour deadline you are welcome to do so, but you will need to pay a new $100 retainer fee to hold your session slot.

Since I specialize in outdoor portraits I always have my eye on the weather, and I have captured beautiful photos in every possible weather scenario. Most of the time for a light rain or snow we can use umbrellas to get to a covered spot and still get great shots. The weather I most often cancel for is high wind (no one looks good with hair or dust blowing in their face), extremely cold temperatures (red noses and stiff shoulders are no one’s friend), or blizzard conditions. I will always check in with you the night before or the morning of the session if there is a rough forecast so we can make a plan together. Whatever happens we can make it work, these photos were taken in under 20 degree weather, and while the process wasn’t as fun they turned out great!

This is totally up to you! I have many clients that love to treat themselves to a blowout before a session, and many that rock at setting their curls themselves. It’s a good idea to not go too heavy on makeup if you don’t wear it often, but having a little extra coverage or glitz on the eyes can really make your features pop in photos. Long story short it’s not a requirement by any means, but if it helps you feel confident and excited for the session go for it!

Would you feel better if I told you everyone gets nervous? I hear clients say all the time that they haven’t had a professional headshot taken in 10 years, or since their senior portraits, or some have never had professional photos taken of themselves at all. Most people are not professional models and have no idea what to do in front of a camera. It’s my job to tell you exactly how to look your best. I’ll be walking you through each pose and prompt, making adjustments as we go, and telling you exactly what to do with your hands. My clients come in feeling nervous and unsure, and quickly find out that it is actually a lot of fun! So don’t sweat the nerves too much, I’ll have you forgetting about them in no time. And if all else fails feel free to bring your dog, they make everything better!
