We're not in the 80s anymore—skip the tie unless it's something you regularly wear for important meetings at work. Dress authentically for your professional context.

No, but I work with professional makeup artists who can come to the studio. If you'd like to book a makeup artist, let me know and I'll coordinate the timing for your session.

I value authenticity over perfection. While makeup artists are excellent for hair styling, they often apply more makeup than necessary for professional headshots. You should look like yourself in your photos—polished, but recognizable. Most clients do their own makeup and are happy with the results.

Dress as you would for an important business meeting in your industry. Bring options if you're unsure—we'll work together to choose what photographs best.

Bring at least three looks: something formal you'd wear to a work ceremony, business attire for an important meeting, and something more relaxed like you'd wear meeting a friend for coffee—but still professional enough to be photographed in.
