HMUA (Hair and Makeup Artists) for Headshots

I always recommend a hair and makeup artist for my headshot sessions.  The main focus in a headshot is the face.  To me, what’s really important about this service is the makeup.  I personally do not wear much makeup, ever.  But for a studio headshot session, professional makeup is a life-saver!  I work with some very talented makeup artists and the airbrush makeup evens out the skin tone and makes the skin very matte.  The studio lighting can quickly wash out a face with too little makeup.  Even with men, a little bit of powder or airbrush foundation reduces shine and really helps the overall skin tone.

Headshots for Rosemary

Rosemary came to my home studio for hair and makeup before her headshot session.  At first, she felt like the makeup might be a little too dark.  However, as soon as she saw the images on the back of my camera, she knew it was just right.  The blush defined her cheek bones and the eye makeup made her eyes pop.  In the end, we were both very grateful for the artistry that is makeup.

I hear it all the time… ⬇️

“I want to lose a little weight first.”
“I’ll do it after I get my hair done.”
“I just don’t feel ready yet.”

But the truth is… most people never feel 100% ready.
And that’s okay.

You don’t need to be “perfect” to show up confidently.
You just need the right space, the right support, and someone behind the camera who sees you as you are—right now.

✨ If this is the sign you’ve been waiting for… I’d love to help.
Here’s the truth 👇🏻

I have two business degrees — everything I’ve learned about photography came from hands-on experience and in-person workshops.

If you’re starting a headshot business or stepping into photography, here’s my biggest advice:

✨ Join local and national photography organizations

✨ Invest in in-person workshops

✨ Learn by doing, not just watching

Online resources are great, but there’s no substitute for seeing another photographer set up lighting, work with models, and handle real scenarios. You figure out what works for you by trying it yourself.

Because at the end of the day, your style is yours — and you only find it through practice.
