“Love my pics and the experience provided from hair & makeup to the actual shoot was a delight! I felt comfortable, confident and like I had a champion in my corner!” – Sarah Lash
Add a Hair and Makeup Artist
If you wear makeup, we strongly suggest you add one of our in-studio hair and makeup artists to your session. Why? Because what most people and general makeup artists think is right for headshots can look pretty bad in the final images. With decades of experience in the film editorial industries, our artists know exactly how to make sure everyone who steps in front of thge camera looks their best. (Available only with the Professional Session.)

Branding and Business Portraits
Need more than just a headshot? Many of my clients also need branding and commercial photography for their websites and marketing collateral. I can create those images for you either in my studio or on location.
