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.
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 (estimate) — that fee goes straight to the hair & makeup artist, not to me.
If you have your own person you’d like to work with we can discuss.
