NOT OPTIONAL
Why Hair & Makeup Is Required
I require professional hair & makeup on The Headshot and Headshots Plus for one reason: I've watched too many people skip it, love the shoot in the moment, then open their gallery and not like how they look. That's almost never about the photography — it's the stuff a mirror won't tell you and a camera won't hide. Skin, brows, flyaways, shine. A trained H&M artist catches all of that and they are great.
Skip it and the fix happens in retouching instead — and hours of extra retouching costs you more than the H&M artist would have. Every session I've shot with H&M on-site has come out stronger than the ones without. It's not an upsell. It's the difference between images you like and images you love.
Billed separately at $150 — that fee goes straight to the hair & makeup artist, not to me.
The Quick Headshot Day
A stripped-down, high-speed version of The Headshot — 30 minutes, 2 looks, straight off the camera. This isn't always open. I only run it when enough people want in, then I announce one date and take the first 10.

TRUST IS EVERYTHING
What people photography is in the world of Robots.
Photography used to be about composition, lighting, and connecting with a subject to create an image.
Now photography is about trust.
Built on the backs of stolen copyrighted imagery - Generative AI can make you look however you want with a prompt and a selfie.
I believe that sooner than we realize we will not be able to trust any digital image.
When anyone sees your portrait their first question will be: “Is that AI?” - “How real is this?”
The reality is - we all know that faces have been smoothed, tummies tucked and wrinkles smoothed from shots.
So how is this different?
It’s not really - the only difference is everyone can do it now.
AI is amazing and can make workflow and retouching an image so much faster.
But I will never change your appearance.
