When preparing for your photo session, there are a few key things to keep in mind. One of the most important items to bring is a brush or comb. While this may seem obvious, it’s crucial for achieving the best results.

Why You Should Bring a Brush or Comb

We strive to make you look successful, professional, and stunning through our expert use of lighting, posing, and Photoshop. A few flyaways can be easily fixed in editing. However, significant hair corrections can be challenging and time-consuming.

We do provide some anti-frizz products and a selection of dollar store combs for your convenience. You’ll also have the opportunity to check your appearance in a mirror several times during the shoot. This ensures you feel confident and look your best.

But remember, bringing your own comb or brush is essential. It allows you to maintain control over your hair and ensures you feel comfortable throughout the session.

Preparing for Your Session

Dress for Success

Choosing the right outfit is just as important as your hair. Wear something that reflects your personality and makes you feel confident. Consider the colours and styles that suit you best.

Skincare Matters

Take some time to care for your skin before the shoot. A good skincare routine can help you achieve a fresh and radiant look. Moisturize and consider using a primer to create a smooth base for makeup.

Makeup Tips

If you wear makeup, opt for a look that enhances your features without being too overpowering. Natural looks often work best for headshots. If you’re unsure, consider hiring a professional makeup artist to help you achieve the desired effect.

What to Expect During the Shoot

During your session, we’ll guide you through various poses to capture your best angles. Our team is experienced and will help you feel at ease. Remember, this is a collaborative process. Your input is valuable, so don’t hesitate to share your thoughts.
