Styling
Hair-Men
- Haircuts should be done a few days before your shoot so it can relax and settle in a bit, unless it’s a close cut which needs to be crisp, of course.
- A fresh shave or bread trim is a must.
- If you are thinking of changing your hairstyle, please consider doing it before the shoot.
- If you want a hat in your shoot, bring it! But don’t wear it – hat hair is not a great look.
Hair-Females
- Have your hair blown out or styled just before the shoot. We do have a hair dryer and curling iron available to freshen hair, but come with your hair already styled as you want it in the portrait. Our makeup artist is good with minor hair touchups.
- If your hairstylist wants to do your hair in-studio, we can accommodate that request. Let us know when you book your shoot, so we can allow extra time.
- Think about your different outfits and how you want your hair for each one. For instance, if you bring a sports uniform and a ponytail is preferred, we will use that outfit last since a ponytail might mess up the hairstyle you want for a more dressy look.
Makeup
Makeup for photography can be different from your usual makeup, but will look great in the portraits. My makeup artist, Scarlett, worked with us and has done makeup for photography for many years. She will listen to you, help you relax, and is great with both natural and more dramatic looks. You will feel very pampered and secure in her hands. I can also give you Scarlett's number and you can speak to her directly before the shoot.
