how to prep for your headshot…
(aka how to make this
easy and kind of fun)
⏱ First Things First
Your session is 30 or 60 minutes, depending on your package.
Time moves fast, so a little prep makes a big difference.
⏰ Arrival Timing
Please arrive 10 minutes or less before your appointment
This helps keep sessions running smoothly.
📸 What We Shoot
• Headshots, mid-body, and full-body
• Mostly on a clean, simple colored backdrop
• Stylistically we keep it pretty simple. The focus is you 💙
🎭 If You Have an Agent
😌 Vibes Check
Yes, headshots can feel awkward at first. Totally normal.
We’ll guide you the entire time. After the first few minutes, it gets easy. Promise.
The goal is not perfection.
It’s presence.
Check in with them ahead of time to confirm what they’re looking for.
🚨 Running Late?
Text us if you’re running behind. We get it.
Arrivals 15+ minutes late, will need to forfeit the session.
(it’s really hard to make up for that time)
