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!

"What should we wear?" — The question that keeps families from booking their session. 😅

Here's the thing: I've been doing this long enough to know that outfit stress is real. And completely unnecessary.

That's why I work with a professional stylist who takes the guesswork out of coordinating your family's look:

🎨 She creates a custom color palette that flatters everyone
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Coordinates (not matches!) each family member perfectly
📦 Can even help you shop or pull from what you already own
✨ Ensures your photos look timeless, not trendy

No more last-minute outfit changes. No more wondering if everyone looks good together. No more stress.

Just show up, be yourselves, and let us handle the rest.

Because the best family photos happen when you're relaxed, comfortable, and focused on each other — not worried about whether your shirt works with your daughter's dress.

📸 Ready for a stress-free family session? DM me to get started!

Class of 2026... this is your moment. ✨

You're not just graduating — you're stepping into who you're meant to become. And that person? They deserve to be celebrated.

This year isn't about fitting into someone else's idea of what a senior should look like. It's about showing the world exactly who YOU are:

🎸 The musician who finds peace in melody
🏐 The athlete who never gives up
📚 The scholar who asks the big questions
🎨 The artist who sees beauty everywhere
💫 The dreamer who's about to change the world

Your senior portraits should tell YOUR story. Not a generic version. Not what everyone else is doing. Yours.

Because in 10 years, when you look back at these photos, you should see the exact moment you started believing in yourself.

The moment your story really began.

📸 Ready to tell your story? Send me a DM and let's create something amazing together.

✨ The love that filled your home
📸 Moments of connection and joy 
💛 Your family's unique story

These aren't just photos for today — they're legacy images your kids will always look back on. Photos they'll treasure. Photos they'll show their own children someday.

📆 Current Family Session Availability:
• October 12
• October 18

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.
