I get it. For most of us, taking photos sucks. If you fall in this category, let us know when you arrive and we’ll make extra sure to work quickly and efficiently. Our top priority is to make sure you are completely comfortable. We shoot “tethered” to the computer so you will be able to review immediately afterwards and confirm that you are happy with the images.

Individual sessions are 30 or 60 minutes depending on the package, which generally produce 50 to 100+ shots across variations of angles and expressions. You and I will immediately review and select your favorite images for retouching.

Wardrobe should strike a balance between your industry standards and what you think you look best in. Clothes that are comfortable, fit well, and are neatly pressed always look great.

Women: Generally have a bit more flexibility than men - standard business look is a jacket and a collared or collarless shirt/blouse. Plain colors work well – blue, green, wine and purple are universally nice. Avoid big prints, busy patterns and large lines/stripes. For a casual look without jacket, colored shirts work better – avoid a white shirt by itself unless it is underneath a jacket or sweater. Keep jewelry small and simple – or it may distract from your face.

Men: Standard business look is a suit jacket, dress shirt and tie. Casual business can include a jacket and open dress shirt, a shirt and tie without jacket, or a dress shirt on it’s own. For a casual look without jacket, colored shirts work better – avoid a white dress shirt by itself unless it is underneath a jacket or sweater. Avoid busy patterns and large lines/stripes. Colored accents (like a tie or pocket square) can help add color or even complement colored eyes.

You know your hair best so if it will need some product or a comb, bring it with you. Women should have a think beforehand about tying hair up, back, or down - review in the mirror the night before if you’re not sure. Planning is recommended if getting your hair cut or colored near your photoshoot date (avoid the temptation to experiment with a new style or hairstylist). Same day haircuts for men may result in bits of hair on their forehead which are difficult to retouch.

To the extent possible, rest well the night before, eat clean and stay hydrated. If thats not possible, then there is retouching…

We apply our “standard retouching” to all images that are delivered by our studio – the goal is to make you look as neat and clean as possible, including: lightening wrinkles or eye bags, removing pimples, lint or fly-away hairs, reducing shine, whitening teeth, and smoothing out "bumps" in jacket shoulders or sleeves. If requested, we may additionally make the face slightly less round, slim arms, or enlarge one eye slightly to make more symmetrical. Any request outside of this, let us know and we’ll see if its feasible.

We never retouch to the point of looking fake.

It depends. Let us know in advance what type of background you need if you have specific requirements.
