Terms
Deposit: Clients have the option to either pay in full or make a non-refundable deposit of $150 with a credit at the time of booking to secure their session date and time. This deposit guarantees your slot and prevents other bookings for that period. Please note that this deposit is non-refundable, regardless of any changes or cancellations to the appointment.
The deposit will be deducted from your final bill, with the balance due immediately after your session. Payment can be made via cash, credit cards, checks, or Venmo.
If you request hair and makeup services, we would be happy to help schedule or refer you to outside salons.
Rescheduling: You may reschedule your shoot for any reason, provided you notify us 48 hours before the scheduled time, without forfeiting your deposit.
Retouching: I specialize in natural retouching aimed at enhancing your appearance while preserving your authentic look—well-rested, healthy, put-together, and blemish-free. I strive to present the best version of you, subtly making you appear a little younger without altering your essential features. Each image includes up to three rounds of retouching, although most images typically require only one. Additional retouching is available for $10-30 per round, depending on the complexity of the adjustments required.
While we endeavor to meet all client requests, our focus is on natural studio and location shoots. I do not specialize in heavy alterations or composite images. For specialized retouching needs beyond our scope, you are welcome to take the images to external service providers.
Terms for Group Sessions on Location
Clients will be asked to sign a contract that requires a 50% deposit to secure the booking. The remaining balance is due within 30 days after the shoot. Payments for both the deposit and the final balance can be made via credit card, electronic funds transfer (EFT), or company check.
Headshot Photograpehrs FAQ's
What exactly are headshots?
Headshots are professional photos typically focusing on the head and shoulders, designed to reflect a polished and professional appearance. They can be styled in various ways to meet the specific needs of professionals across industries.
How many images do I need?
The number of images you need may vary depending on your professional requirements. For most business professionals, a few high-quality images are sufficient to enhance their LinkedIn profiles, company websites, and other professional platforms.
What is a ‘look’?
In professional headshot photography, a “look” can be defined as a variant of your portrait with a particular outfit and style. Each look captures different aspects of your professional persona, allowing for a versatile portrayal of your professional image.
What do you mean by retouched images?
Retouched images are professionally enhanced to correct color, lighting, and minor blemishes, ensuring the photos present the best version of yourself. The goal is to keep the enhancements subtle and maintain your natural appearance, optimizing for a professional context.
What should I wear?
For professional headshots, it’s essential to wear business attire that aligns with your industry’s standards. Opt for neat, well-fitting outfits in solid colors to ensure a professional appearance. Avoid busy patterns that can be distracting and detract from the primary focus—your professional presence.
What should my expressions be like in the images?
Your expressions should convey professionalism and confidence. It’s important to have a relaxed and approachable demeanor. I will guide you through various poses and expressions during the shoot to capture your professionalism effectively.
Do I need a makeup artist or hairstylist?
While not always necessary, a professional makeup artist can enhance your features and ensure you look your best under studio lighting. For men and those with short hairstyles, a hair stylist may not be essential. However, having a professional handle your makeup and hair can significantly elevate the quality of your headshots, especially for more diverse looks.

Absolutely! I offer a variety of backdrops to suit your specific needs and align with your company’s branding.
