A little bit about my process:

Where will we shoot?
 

All shoots happen in my home studio. Headshots are just that, closeups of your face capturing your 'shabang!' shot... the one that captures the attention of a casting director or client. This is the focus. Though if you'd; like at as some of my favorite outdoor spaces that make fantastic backdrops (weather permitting.)

I have a variety of outdoor locations nearby, including fences, brick walls, flower gardens, greenery and  more!

​

I mean, where exactly? 

My home studio is conveniently located a mile off of Courthouse Road in North Chesterfield, Richmond, Virginia. I'll provide you with the exact address when we chat.

​

What will the session be like? 

Mostly, we’ll just chat and I will capture your many expressions as we do. I might be asking you to ‘lean in’ and tilt your head or push your chin out here and there -- any small movement can change the ‘feel’.  We're trying to make the shots interesting, current with trends and capture photos that show the REAL you .. with subtle nuances for each shot.  We’ll have a good time, I promise! It's best to come alone. A rapport needs to be developed between you and I to get the best shots. IF you have a hair/makup person they may come and assist. 

​

What should I wear? 
 

Solid neutral colors are best, bringing several changes. YOU get to play dress-up! If you want full body shots as well, think more dressy shoes that match. Also, accessories, blazers, scarves... etc.

​

BE SURE ALL CLOTHING IS IRONED or STEAMED on HANGARS.

​

No logos is suggested, though I’ve had clients bring their favorite shirts for fun.

I have a hanging rack for you, a close by mirror and clean bathroom for changing in my studio

 

What about hair & makeup? 

Guys, if you shave, do it a few hours before the shoot to avoid facial redness.

Bring a comb and or brush.

It is best if your hair is not FRESHLY cut.

If you wear makeup, bring some along for touch ups.

How should I prep? 
Get some GOOD sleep the night before and drink plenty of water...  so you glow.😊

POST SHOOT.. what happens? 

I send you the entire file with my favorite 10 to edit. If you agree, let me know and I'll edit them for you. If there are 10 others that you'd like me to edit please give me the FILE NAMES and I can do that for you and send them along. You'll have them all digitally and can print them off of a jump drive or online with your favorite source. 

Anything else?
RELAX! Enjoy yourself, have fun with the shoot! Peruse the resource sites as well.
