HMUA for Headshots

I love it when my clients opt in for a hair and makeup artist for their headshots!  Here’s why:

  1. Professional makeup ensures a matte complexion: no shiny spots or hotspots that will need retouching later
  2. Professional makeup is natural but appropriate for the studio lighting that I’ll be using
  3. A hair and makeup artist knows how to make you look your very best on camera
  4. A hair and makeup artist will know how to take your hair from an everyday look to a polished and professional look with your direction

The HMUA will definitely ask your preferences on hair and makeup before getting started.  Then she will ask you questions along the way to ensure that she’s giving you the look that you want.  But she knows the colors and application to best highlight your features.  It is an additional expense for the headshots but it’s so worth that little extra touch.

Headshots for Ebony

Ebony had hair and makeup before our headshot session.  I absolutely love the look that she achieved.  Since she had pinks in her blouse, the HMUA used a light pink lip and cheek color.  The shadow color perfectly compliments these colors as well.  She did a beautiful job and Ebony was very pleased with the outcome.  Her co-workers were raving about her new headshots!  That’s always a neat thing to hear compliments from your co-workers.  I also love how we got two totally different looks – one with the clean white background and the other with the neutral grey.  She changed outfits and the second look is completely different.  She’ll have a couple of options for her new headshots.

If you’ve ever wondered what actually happens during a branding session… this is it 😅

It’s not just about getting great photos — it’s about creating an experience where you can show up, relax, and let your personality come through.

The truth is...

Different images serve different purposes. The photo you use for LinkedIn might not be the same one you use for a speaking engagement, your website, or a personal brand feature.

Your audience, your industry, your role, and the message you want to communicate all influence how your images should look and feel.

That’s why thoughtful, intentional branding photography makes such a difference. When your photos align with your goals, they start working for you — helping you build trust and credibility before you ever say a word.

If you're in need of a headshot refresh, I'm your girl 😉

The difference between good branding photos and great ones..?

Your wardrobe strategy.

Every outfit in a branding session should have a purpose. Different looks help you show different sides of your brand — and give you images you can use across your website, social media, speaking engagements, and more.

Carrie absolutely nailed it with her wardrobe choices for this session. ✨
