Headshot Moisturizing

For the face I highly recommend everyone put on a good amount of moisturizer or aloe vera.

For the Lips, Use a simple lip gloss / lip balm  and avoid heavy lipstick.

Headshot Makeup

Women’s Makeup should look as if you were going to a company event and trying to impress people. That means nothing pushed to the extreme.

When it comes to professional headshots makeup, you want your makeup to be light and fresh. Natural makeup that simply emphasizes your natural beauty is best.

Heavy makeup doesn’t photograph well in headshots. If you’re worried about covering up blemishes or wrinkles, it’s much easier for us to edit out blemishes than trying to manage makeup concealing them.

Eyeliner can be especially distracting in a headshot. I generally prefer no eyeliner, but I suggest an especially light application if my clients are committed to using it.

Headshot Clothing

First of all, make sure to bring several options if you want to have diversity. I suggest 3-4 outfits. You can bring a whole suitcase full of clothes if you want, and we’ll pick the best together! Don’t worry, I have an Iron.

Remember, if you don’t bring it, I can’t shoot it, so bring variety!

As long as you keep the clothing on the simple/classic side, you'll be fine, such as your best fitting professional top/dress.

The fit of your clothing is important. Baggy or excessively tight clothing won’t bring out your best.

Solid or at least non-distracting patterns are best.

Bring a professional jacket if that’s a look you want.

Headshot Hair

Please take the time to style your hair nicely. If you wish bring everything you use to style your hair, including anything you use to tame flyaways.

Headshot Jewelry

Headshots are all about the facial expression for me, and my artist eye usually prefers to remove all jewelry. If you really want jewelry in the shot, bring options. I prefer less distracting jewelry if it is in the shot.
