In the business world a quality headshot is expected, and it's not something you want to be without.

Benefits of a Professional Headshot for Pageants and Models

As an aspiring model or beauty queen your headshot is without a doubt your single most important investment. Your headshot is key to landing that very first gig.

And for established models and actors your headshot is what gets you jobs and keeps you working. The people who give you work and feed your career - casting directors and modeling agencies - use headshots every single day to decide who to call in for auditions, and who to pass by.

Do you rely on other streams to get noticed, for example Facebook, Instagram or even LinkedIn? Competition is fierce and you can't compete without a quality professional headshot.

To put it simply, a quality headshot it absolutely vital to your career.

My Headshot Sessions

My headshot shoots are casual and fun and provide great results.

Typically when creating your headshot I will ask that you come to the studio, as the lighting and backdrops required for a quality headshot can be difficult to transport to another location.

If coming to the studio is inconvenient or not possible then I do offer a package for shooting your headshot on location.

Before Your Appointment

Once you have scheduled your headshot session I will call you prior to your appointment to go over a few details and answer any questions you may have.

Day of Your Session

Even though only your head and upper torso will be visible in the final image, most people find it helpful to fully dress for the part. In other words, if you're wearing a shirt and tie, you don't want to be wearing shorts. Dressing from head to toe for your photo makes you feel more confident, which always shows in the final image.

My headshot sessions typically last about 45 minutes, with the first 15 minutes or so devoted to instruction and preparation.

For studio headshots you will be able to immediately see and choose your favorites from the images that were captured during your session in the studio. Your chosen final images will be ready in about seven to ten working days.

For headshots on location, approximately three to seven days after your headshot session you will receive an email that contains a session code and instructions on how you can view the images from your session. Your chosen final images will then be available in about seven to ten additional working days.

After Your Session

My headshot packages include "full but gentle" retouching of one or two images, depending on the package you have chosen, at no additional cost. This retouching includes skin smoothing and removal of most skin blemishes along with eye and teeth brightening. You can of course choose not to have your images retouched if you prefer.

Once you have viewed your proofs and you are happy you will be able to pay any balance due. You'll then receive a second email with a link to download your finalized full resolution images complete with copyright so that you may use them in any way you wish. I do retain the right to use the images on my website and/or in my marketing.

Your image files can be instantly uploaded and shared to any social media. Printed photos are also available here in the studio. Contact me for more information or to place an order.
