Additional Hires
I do not require you have the following services during your photoshoot, but I do highly recommend them for the best outcome of your images. If you, or a friend, have special talent in these areas that is beyond excellent, but otherwise let me explain why these pro services are a worthy investment.
Hair & Makeup
$300
Professional artists are called so for a reason, and they are so important to getting the most out of your photoshoot. I have a list of pro’s that I work with, each of whom have areas of expertise and talent that I respect. My pro’s will make you feel welcomed and comfortable and will come prepared to address your specific needs and concerns. Having the peace of mind that you will look your best will leave you feeling relaxed, pampered and beautiful for your session. You will feel more confident, and that will shine through in your images.
Makeup
$180
To stress the importance of professional makeup I offer this service alone to help keep your shoot costs as low as possible. Makeup for photoshoots is quite different than your every day or stage makeup application. While doing makeup yourself may look good in person, a lot of makeup products have things in them that are more noticeable under studio lighting (especially when documented in high resolution). Our artist know what products work best to avoid this and simultaneously provide you with flattering durable makeup meant to withstand heat and sweat. A professional makeup artist can make a world of difference in a photo, especially for portrait photography.
Styling & Wardrobe
$300
Want to look awesome for your photoshoot but not sure what to wear? Hire me to style you for your photoshoot! After gathering information from you I will put develop a style concept based on your preferences. You will be sent a packing list of items to bring from your own wardrobe and you’ll be asked to arrive early for your photoshoot to try on the items that will be provided for you. Once we know what you feel best in I will put together an unlimited amount of outfits for us to play with during your photoshoot.

Headshot Formatting
In my opinion, a portrait doesn’t officially become a Headshot until it is formatted to be one. As someone who has helped adjudicate many of auditions I can tell you first hand that Headshots are most functional when your name is right under your photo. It helps those looking to hire you learn who you are with ease. This service adds a white border around your selected headshot and adds your name to the bottom right corner. Please note, photo editing is not included in this service. It is meant as an add-on an Editing Service. This is a per photo charge. The image is delivered in both high res and social sharing sizes.

Instagram Reels Crop
If you’ve ever tried to post a photo into a reel on Instagram you are well aware the that image ratios are very different when “posting” versus when adding to a “stories” or “reel”. Most of my Edits fit easily into an Instagram “Post” but if you’d most likely end up severely cropping into your image if trying to size it into a full screen view on their “stories”. With this service I will open your selected image in photoshop and expand its height, then reframe the image to accommodate the ratio required for Instagram Reels. The best images for this service are shapes that are tall and skinny, however wider images can also be resized, but may look best when cropped in closer. I may provide you with multiple options to choose from. This is a per photo charge. The image is delivered in both high res and social sizes.
