Headshot Photography FAQ
Headshot FAQs for Actors & Creatives
Q: What’s your process?
Our sessions are collaborative and fun. Christine draws on her acting background to help you express a range of characters and emotions, while David experiments with lighting and backdrops to match your type and casting targets.
Q: How long does it take?
Actor sessions usually run 2 to 3 hours, depending on outfit changes and look variety. We’ll discuss your goals beforehand to ensure we capture everything you need.
Q: Should I hire a hair and makeup artist?
We recommend it. A professional HMU artist keeps you camera‑ready and helps you transition between looks quickly. We can provide trusted HMU artists as part of your package.
Q: What should I wear?
Bring 3–4 outfit options that show your range (business casual, casual, high‑fashion or character‑specific). Avoid logos and keep colors simple. Accessories like glasses or jackets can vary a look without a full wardrobe change.
Q: How much does a headshot session cost?
Prices vary depending on session length, number of looks and whether you need hair and makeup. Please contact us for a personalized quote.
Q: How many final images will I receive?
Typically 3–5 fully retouched shots per look. You’ll receive a proof gallery with more images so you can choose your favorites.
Q: Can I bring props
Yes. Props, musical instruments or costumes can showcase your versatility.
Q: How should I prepare?
Rest well, hydrate. If you color your hair or get haircuts regularly, schedule them a week before your session.
