Everything You Need to Know Before Booking
How should I prepare for my headshot session?
Get plenty of rest, hydrate, and bring at least 2-3 outfits per look that complement your skin tone. And matches the tone and role you’re going for.
Do you offer hair and makeup?
Yes! Professional hair & makeup services are available as an add-on. Highly recommended for the best results.
Can I bring a friend to the shoot?
Firstly, if you are under 18 you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. For others, I’m not opposed to friends joining you, as long as they are not distracting us from our work. Please let me know, if you are bringing a friend so I can accommodate.
How long does a session take?

Can I see photos during the session?
Yes! We’ll review images throughout to make sure we’re getting exactly what you need.
How do I book a session?
You can book directly through my online calendar. A 50% deposit is required to secure your date.
Do I own the images after purchase?
Yes! Once purchased, you receive full personal usage rights for acting submissions, social media, and self-promotion. I may use select images for portfolio/marketing unless otherwise discussed.
How do I select my final images?
You’ll receive a watermarked proof gallery to choose your favorite shots for retouching. From there you’ll email the file numbers you’ll like retouched.
How long does it take to get my final images?

Retouched images are delivered within 5-7 business days after selection.
Retouched images will not be delivered until the invoice is paid in full.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Can I reschedule or cancel my session?
Yes! You can reschedule or cancel up to 7 days before your session. After that, the deposit becomes non-refundable. If under 7 days, your deposit will be rolled over to future bookings however with a $35 rescheduling fee.
What kind of retouching do you provide?
My retouching is natural and professional—I enhance skin, remove minor blemishes, adjust lighting, and make subtle tweaks without making you look unnatural.
Can I pet your dog (Remy)?
Absolutely! Remy is the real MVP of the studio. He’s friendly, loves head scratches, and is always happy to say hello. Just be warned—he might try to steal the spotlight!
Need a pet-free space? If you’d prefer Remy not be in the studio for any reason, just let me know in advance, and I’ll make arrangements.
