Where will we shoot?

​All shoots happen in my home studio. Entrance is through the carport and screened porch.  Headshots are just that, closeups of your face capturing your 'shabam!' shot... the one that stops the casting director in their tracks  among the hundreds of submission thumbnails! This is the focus and its what makes my art special. 

​

I mean, where exactly? 

My home studio is conveniently located a mile off Courthouse Road in the Rockwood neighborhood, Richmond, Virginia. I'll provide you with the exact address when we set the shoot.​

​

What will the session be like? 

We’ll chat, and I will capture your many expressions as we do. I might be asking you to make slight nuanced moves that can change the ‘feel’ of the shot.  Perhaps we'll give a 'nod' to what  your ‘type’ might be. We’ll have a good time, I promise! ​

​

What should I wear?

​Solid neutral colors are best, bring clothing changes, up to about 3 should do. Maybe jackets or overshirting as well. I DO NOT recommend 'chunky' or otherwise distracting jewelry for headshots. BE SURE ALL CLOTHING IS IRONED or STEAMED HANGING on HANGARS. I have had folks come with that direction and still stuffed them into a a suitcase... really. I don't want to spend our time steaming everything...please! Wrinkles, pilling and hairs show up in editing and it takes longer to edit out. No logos. I have a hanging rack for you, a close by full length mirror and bathroom for changing in my studio

​

What about hair & makeup? 

Bring a comb and or brush. It is best if your hair is not FRESHLY cut. If you wear makeup, bring some along for touch-ups. If you wear false eyelashes, bring your glue and tweezers. Be sure the foundation makeup also matches your neck area. 

Be sure you’ve plucked your eyebrows or shaved many hours or the night before the shoot to cut down on the redness. Get some GOOD sleep the night before and drink plenty of water...  so you glow.😊

​

POST SHOOT.. what happens? 

​I send you the entire file via a link from Outlook ONE DRIVE and you pick 5 that you'd like me to touch up (Fun Fact: It takes about an hour for each photo to do properly.) I NEVER over edit. .we want you to look like you, just a 'fresher' version.  Please give me the FILE NAMES and I can do that for you and send them along. You'll have them all digitally and can print them off of a jump drive or online with your favorite source. Payment via VENMO @ssshots,  or cash on the day. You'll have them a day or two after the shoot and edits will be finished within two weeks. ​

​

PLEASE leave me a review if you loved your experience! If you didn't tell ME! I'm always open to a a reshoot if you're not satisfied.
