FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
+ How can I book a session?
Email us!
We’ll will provide you with a full breakdown of current packages and preferences. In order to provide you with availability, we’ll will need to know what package you are most interested in. Once we find a day that works for you, your deposit of $50 will lock in the time and date that we have chosen based on availability.
Due to high demand, time slots cannot be reserved before receiving the deposit.
+ How far in advance should I book?
We are typically booked out 2-4 weeks in advance. September - March are our busiest seasons, so get in touch asap for availability. Sometimes we have last minute openings, so definitely reach out!
+ What should I wear?
Once you book a session, we will send you very detailed clothing suggestions, a few “homework” questions, and how to prepare the weeks leading up to your session.
+ What is a look?
A look usually implies changing your shirt, the background/atmosphere, and potentially your hair and makeup. Each look will showcase different types or dimensions of yourself. Adding a layer or a pair of glasses is not considered an additional look.
+ How many photos will I get
Depending on your package, you will get anywhere from 5 - 50 selects from the shoot.
+ When will I get my photos?
Our standard delivery is 3 weeks. There are options for 48 and 24hr rushes on our pricing sheet. Retouching takes an additional 1-2 week turn around time. There are rush options for retouching as well.
+ Why are headshots expensive?
Because a quality headshot can change your career. You want to be working with a photographer who knows the industry and will provide several coaching techniques to get you a versatile, professional and eye catching headshot. It takes hours after the shoot to comb through your session to provide you with only the best photos that are color corrected, backed up, and downloaded to your own website. This stuff takes time! We only want you to walk away with the very best.
+ What is your reshoot policy
We lead our sessions with open dialogue and collaboration. We encourage you to speak up during the session if you would like to make any changes. Periodically, we will show you how the images are reading on the monitor so you have multiple opportunities to tweak hair/makeup. Because of this, we do not offer reshoots. If you change your look and want to shoot a shorter session, our returning clients always receive 10% off any package.
+ What is your booking policy
A deposit of $50.00 is required to book a session and is non-refundable. If for some reason you need to change your scheduled time or date, you may do so within 7 days prior to your shoot day, and your deposit will be transferred. You may only transfer the deposit once. Cancellations made after the allotted time will require a new deposit in order to book. We recommend you book out the entire day to eliminate any stressors. Please make sure you alert your agency or job prior to booking your appointment to avoid any hassle later. Thank you in advance!
+ Indoors vs Outdoors
For headshots, this option is available year round, weather permitting. For branding, this option is available all season. If temperatures are not ideal (too cold, too humid, raining, etc) then we don't recommend shooting outside. Ultimately, you're going to get a higher quantity and the best use of your photos by shooting indoors in a controlled environment. When you are under the lights, industry professionals will be able to better visualize what you will look like on set and in makeup. When outside, you may be dealing with wind, melty makeup, red noses, or strange characters popping up in the background. With that said, shooting outdoors may suit your personality and the conditions may be in your favor. We can always discuss this on your shoot day to determine what will be the best. If you are interested in potentially shooting outside, we will need to book a morning or early afternoon shoot. Please let us know if this is something you are interested in at the time of booking.
+ Can I bring someone with me?
Due to COVID-19 we kindly ask that you respect our wishes to keep every a session closed to guests.
** For kids and teens 15 and under, it is ok if a family member accompanies you.
