Plan to get your best professional head shot.

• Drink a lot of water the night before and try to get 8 hours of sleep.• Have your clothes pricked out, ironed and on hangers ready to go in the morning.• Have your hair cut a few days before the photo.• Bring chapstick (guys) or lip stick/ lip gloss (ladies).• Bring a hair brush or comb.• If you wear glasses-they may have a reflection from the lights unless they are non-glare.• This session takes about 15 minutes. You will have several different poses/ options to choose from.

Ladies- V-necks, darker colors with long sleeves are the best choice. If you wear bright colors, that is what will take the focus and not your face. Large or busy patterns are also distracting and not timeless. Things that don’t photograph very well are: shiny, silky and white shirts tend to reflect light. Stiff cotton shirts or big flowing shirts can look boxy on women in photos. Knit, darker toned shirts are more flattering.

Guys- white shirts or darker tones shirts both work if you are wearing a jacket. Ties that have smaller patterns or stripes are better than bold patterns and large wide stripes. Solid ties also blend well.

The camera will send the image to my iPad as I take them. We will stop and make adjustments so you will be completely happy with the results. You will receive 1 touched up image within a week, via Wetransfer.com, to download to your computer. You will get this image in a full sized resolution, good for printing or the web.

I edit the images to make sure it looks natural. I soften wrinkles and even out skin tones. I whiten teeth mildly and remove any blemishes.
