FAQ

  • What should I wear for my headshot session?


    I recommend wearing clothing that is simple and classic, avoiding patterns or prints that may distract from your face. Solid colors work best, and we suggest choosing a color that complements your skin tone and eyes. For women, we suggest wearing natural-looking makeup that enhances your features. By dressing in a way that highlights your best qualities, your headshot will have more impact and help you stand out from the competition.

  • How do I prepare for my headshot session?

    To prepare for your headshot session, it's essential to get a good night's sleep and stay hydrated. Perhaps do a few short meditations in the days leading up to to shoot. It’s important to be relaxed in order to get any kind of emotion on screen. It's important to communicate with me about your vision and any specific requests you may have ahead of the headshots session.
