Hair and Makeup for Headshots

Hair and makeup services are an optional add-on for any of my headshot and corporate sessions.  Many clients choose to have hair and makeup for headshots.  It’s an easy step to ensure that hair and makeup are camera-ready.  Here are a few reasons to add hair and makeup to your headshot session:

  1. SHINE: the number one reason for professional makeup is that it reduces shine on the face.  The matte airbrush makeup is perfect for reducing shine and making the skin look flawless.  I can instantly tell the difference when someone has professional makeup on in the images.
  2. EYES: professional makeup seems to make the eyes pop for me.  With the addition of lashes, the eyes appear bigger and have more definition.  The eyes are the central focus for photographers – we constantly analyze the amount and direction of light hitting the eyes.  They are also the focus point for the entire image.
  3.  PROFESSIONAL: for the same reason that we recommend a professional headshot instead of s selfie, we recommend professional hair and makeup.  It’s done by a professional who knows the colors, the styling, and the proper application for a business headshot.

Environmental Headshots for Clare

Clare contacted me about some environmental headshots.  Her company was providing the standard studio headshot but she wanted something a little different!  Excellent!!  Roxana provided hair and makeup services at Clare’s home and then we met afterwards for the headshot session.  I’ve worked with Roxana for many years and I know that she will create a beautiful look for each of my clients depending on their style and taste.  She also makes sure that the look is appropriate for a business headshot.  Clare and I had a great time walking around and finding spots for her headshots.  She brought a couple of different outfits and we ended up with several looks for her final selections.  Thanks Clare and Roxana for a fantastic session!

If you’re a speaker, your images speak before you do. 🎤

Event planners are checking your website, your LinkedIn, your media kit — all before they ever reach out. And the first question they’re asking is:

“Can I imagine this person on our stage?”

That’s why speaker-focused imagery matters.

In my headshot + branding sessions, I don’t just have to take portraits —
I can recreate the experience of you presenting.

Spotlight, stage-inspired lighting, gestures, expressions, confidence… even if we’re shooting in my studio, we can make it look like you’re mid-keynote.

Because if speaking is part of your business, your visuals should reflect that — long before you step on stage.

When someone lands on your profile or website, they make a decision in seconds. 👀

Are you credible? Professional? Trustworthy?

Your branding images answer those questions before you ever say a word.

Strong, consistent visuals don’t just “look nice” — they build recognition, trust, and momentum. They show potential clients who you are, what you do, and the level you operate at.

And if your business has grown?
Your visuals should grow with it. ✨
