Before Your Session: FAQs & Tips
-
Stick to solid, simple colors that suit your skin tone and avoid patterns or logos. Dress for roles you typically audition for—professional, casual, or character. Bring a variety of tops and layers. Comfort and confidence are key!
-
Yes. It’s helpful to include shots that match the types of roles you’re aiming for, while also showing range.
-
Keep it natural. Minimal makeup enhances your features without hiding them. If you usually wear makeup, giving your skin a short break beforehand helps. Bring essentials for touch-ups if needed.
Can I Bring a Friend?
-
We don’t include one, as natural looks are best for actor headshots. If you’re bringing your own, please book a longer session like the Gold package, and let us know in advance.
We can also recommend a makeup artist if you’d like, just ask when booking. -
Yes, you're welcome to bring someone along for support. We do recommend that once the session starts, they step out and return toward the end. There are plenty of great coffee spots nearby where they can relax while we shoot.
-
Totally normal! We keep things relaxed and guide you throughout. If you're especially camera-shy, a longer session like our Gold package gives you more time to ease in.
-
No stress—blemishes are easy for us to retouch. Skipping concealer actually helps us edit more naturally.
-
We do! Evening shoots (Mondays & Thursdays) can be booked online with no extra charge. For weekend availability, just get in touch and we’ll get you booked in.
-
Definitely! Just let us know during your shoot and we’ll include B&W edits.ption
