Photoshoots take place in a vintage 1950s air conditioned photography studio in East Hollywood, CA 90027, near Barnsdall Art Park, with parking available.

Studio address provided in intro email.

No deposit needed, payment is due at the end of the session.

A gallery of your images is provided within seven days after receipt of payment so you can share your stunning results with agents, managers, friends & family.

Life happens. If you can’t make it, let us know as soon as you can.

We shoot in-studio so weather won’t affect your session.

Of course! Especially consider bringing a friend along if you don’t plan on hiring a hair & makeup artist.

The studio is equipped with a steamer, mirror, restroom & changing area.

A 90 minute headshots session includes 60 minutes of shooting time, 30 minutes of consultation and setup time, all of your images from the session sized for web, and two minimally retouched images of your choice sized for print.

Plan for a max of about 3-4 looks per 60 minutes of shooting time for best quality results.

On average we can fit a maximum of 5-7 looks into 60 minutes of shooting time, depending on how fast you change.

Additional shooting time can be added in 30m increments when scheduling if you know you’d like more time to capture more looks, or at any time during the session, as needed. Each additional 30 minutes of shooting time added includes two additional minimally retouched images sized for print.

When you arrive, the session will start.

All headshots sessions include 30m of wardrobe consultation and setup time at the top. We‘ll review the wardrobe you’ve brought and strategize our game plan for the looks we plan to capture.

From there, we’ll address what needs steaming and get you through hair & makeup and into a look to execute the plan.

The combination of: wardrobe + lighting + background = a Look.

All headshots sessions include an unlimited amount of looks for the duration of the session.

On average we can fit a maximum of 5-7 looks into 60 minutes of session time, depending on how fast you change.

For best quality results plan for 3-4 looks per hour.

Pacing wise, first time headshots sessions generally last 1.5hrs.

Keep in mind that the more focused and specific your ideas for casting type, wardrobe, and how you’d like to use the images are, the better the resulting headshots.

If you have representation of any kind, please check in with them before your headshot session to see what looks they might recommend you prepare to capture.

If you don’t have representation, please let us know when you book your session and we’ll include a couple helpful resources to help you best prepare.

No retouching whatsoever is permitted for digitals.

Headshots packages include two minimally retouched images sized for print.

Minimally retouched means we’ll edit the image to make you pop more than you did before. We’ll also remove distracting minor blemishes like acne that won’t be there in six to eight weeks.

Keep in mind though that things like wrinkles, scars, and skin texture are what make us human, unique, memorable, and perfectly fit for certain roles. These areas will not be retouched.

Additional retouched images can be purchased for $25 each.

Retouched images have a 7-14 day turnaround time, but can be rushed upon request.

It is highly recommended that you add a professional hair & makeup artist for your headshots session, especially for women.

Photography makeup is specialized, and the artist stays throughout the session for touch-ups, catching flyaways and making changes.

An additional 30 minutes of session time are included for hair and makeup to be applied.

The hair and makeup artist is paid separately on the day of your session.

Having someone on set to handle the additional close up details makes all the difference between getting good vs. outstanding images of you.

This is why adding a professional HMUA is recommended for all headshots sessions.

Outside HMUAs are welcome, but must arrive with you fully camera-ready.

You are free to do your own hair and makeup, although it is not recommended.

Please arrive camera ready for your session if you opt to do your own.

Want both?

Sure thing, just please let us know in advance. It makes a difference for our scheduling.

We allot 15 minutes for hair curling and shaving.
