Most headshot sessions take about 15 minutes, so appointments are scheduled in 30 minute blocks to give ample time for each sitting. Please park in the driveway and wait until your appointment time.
Want more outfits and/or more time? We offer 40 minute appointments.
Arrive in what you want to be photographed in and we highly recommend bringing a 2nd top. Classic headshots include head and shoulders so it is unnecessary to wear a complete outfit. However, wearing a complete outfit can be good for mindset and allows for portraits from the waist up.
Once in the studio, ask Alexa to play your favorite music or enjoy the quiet. We will take a few pictures, make a lighting adjustment if needed, and continue on until I think we have a few authentic expressions. I will show you the back of the camera for feedback. We go from there. Most headshot sessions create 5 - 10 proofs which will be posted in a gallery for you to choose.
