Should I get a hair and makeup artist for my headshot?

Professional headshots should represent the very best you!  Sometimes a hair and makeup artist can bring out the best you by accenting certain features and minimizing others.  You can certainly do your own hair and makeup.  I recommend going a little heavier on the makeup than you would normally wear.  This is because the lighting that I will be using can wash you out a bit.  A hair and makeup artist uses air-brushed foundation that leaves a beautifully matte finish on your skin = no shine!  We have even used this for men to eliminate shine as well.  The artist will also know how heavy the makeup should be and what colors compliment your skin tone.  My makeup artists create a very natural beautiful look that is easy to photograph.

Professional Headshots for Renee

My headshot session with Renee was fantastic!  She brought a couple of options for clothing and we switched backgrounds as she changed her jacket and blouse combination.  I love the grey background with pinks, reds, and burgandy colors.  Renee did her own hair and makeup for the session and it was perfect!  Her look was very natural but matte finish and even tones.

Renee needed a new headshot for business purposes.  She works for C&S Wholesale Grocers as a senior manager for training and development.  Now she has a new headshot for LinkedIn, the company website, and other marketing materials.

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.
