Once you’ve made your selection, each photo is professionally retouched and delivered within three business days. Same-day options are available if you need them sooner.

I recommend wearing something that makes you feel confident and represents your professional image. Solid colors generally work well, as they keep the focus on your face. I’ll help you make the best choice when you arrive.

Yes! Professional hair and makeup are available upon request. If you’d like this service, let me know in advance, and I’ll arrange for an experienced stylist to enhance your natural look.

Life happens, and I understand schedules can change. If you need to reschedule, just let me know, and we’ll find a time that works for you.

I recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to ensure you get your preferred time. However, if you have an immediate need, feel free to reach out—I’ll do my best to accommodate you.

I recommend bringing six to ten outfit options if you have them. We’ll choose the three to five best options for your session, but having a variety allows us to pick the most suitable looks. Many clients even shop specifically for their photoshoot to ensure they have choices that reflect their style and goals.

Absolutely. I’m here to make sure your headshots fit your unique goals. Feel free to share any specific requests before or during your session.

Authenticity That Stands Out
