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.)
