We will book a consultation in the weeks or days prior to your shoot so you have time to coordinate everyone’s schedule.

For individual studio headshots, schedule people at 15-minute intervals.

A typical 8 hour day can accommodate about 20-25 people after setup.

For on location studio sessions, it’s best to have:

• A quiet conference room or area at least 12 × 15 fee

• No windows or window coverings

• AC power and Wi-Fi

• Set-up requires up to 1-hour prior to first scheduled headshot.

What you wear is usually dictated by your personality, industry and/or intended use of the headshot. Here is an essential list of things to consider:

• Opt for tailored outfits with structure that do not wrinkle easily

• Avoid oversized jackets

• Avoid clothing that is too tight

• Opt for fabrics with little or no distracting patterns, such as large prints or fine stripes

• Avoid reflective/shiny fabrics, such as satin

• Darker colors work best against a lighter background

• Scarves or neckties are the best way to add a pop of color

• Jewelry or accessories should be simple and understated

• Wear a color that complements your skin tones (bring 1-2 options if you are unsure)

• Most importantly, be well-rested and relaxed to look your best!

• PDFs of all unedited “proofs” are sent within 1-3 days after the shoot for selection

• Unedited images are also available upon request for an additional fee

• All images are provided as digital download JPEGs in both large and small format

• Travel expenses include tolls/parking/transit within the Bay Area
