What to Expect During Your Headshot Session

A successful headshot session is built on preparation, communication, and a clear plan. From the start, I focus on understanding your goals so you feel confident, comfortable, and camera-ready throughout the session.

1. Pre-Session Consultation

Before your session, we’ll discuss your goals and how you plan to use your headshots. We’ll also go over wardrobe options and any specific preferences so everything is aligned before we step in front of the camera.

2. Relaxed Photo Session

You’ll work in a private, comfortable studio environment with time for wardrobe adjustments and finishing touches. We’ll review your outfits, do a quick lighting test, and then focus on natural movement and expression. I guide you throughout the session so your headshots feel effortless, authentic, and true to who you are on camera.

3. Delivery & Professional Retouching

Within one business day, you’ll receive a gallery of proofs to select your favorites. Optional same-day downloads of the full session are available at no additional charge. Final retouching is clean and natural, enhancing color, lighting, and detail while preserving realistic skin texture. Finished images are high-resolution and ready for casting submissions, professional profiles, and print use.
