What to Expect:

I currently work in a rental studio space; feel free to bring someone along for your comfort.
I'll ask that you sign a basic contract (including deliverables, artistic discretion, and release for social media).
I'll shoot "tethered" to a computer so I can quickly show you the photos and make adjustments.
I’ll coach you through poses and facial expressions - I’ve shot with hundreds of people and many people are a bit nervous. I’ll help you through the whole session.
We'll select shots along the way that look good enough to consider.
At the end, we'll narrow it down to the photos you wish to purchase. They will be professionally post-processed and retouched.

How to Prepare

Simple clothes work best - you don't want the outfit to compete with your face. I suggest bringing a plain-white, plain-black, and solid-colored shirt. Avoid frills.
Bring multiple looks - there’s no outfit limit - we can’t shoot it if you don’t bring it.
Avoid jewelry or anything that will compete with your face.
Avoid reflective makeup and clothing (hair clips) if you can.
Please arrive with your hair "audition ready”; but I do have a bathroom where you can touchup or change.
If you intend to wear make up (discouraged if you normally don’t, gents), I encourage you to hire a makeup artist. I have several I work with and can help you arrange one.
Don't worry about concealing temporary blemishes - those are easy to correct in post-processing and poking at them tends to discolor the skin, which is harder to correct.
If you wear glasses, bring multiple pairs in case we face reflection issues.
If you have a specific look in mind, let me know so I can prepare for it.
