HEADSHOTS

YOU NEVER GET A SECOND CHANCE TO MAKE A FIRST IMPRESSION

A great headshot can help you stand out against your competition and provide the opportunity to gain the trust of a potential client.  The image you use online defines you, defines your business and defines your brand.  It is not just a picture, it is one of the most powerful tools in your business tool kit!

The Headshot Experience

“I hate having my photo taken.”
“I never look good in pictures.”
”I don’t know how to pose.”

As a headshot photographer, these are the things I hear on a daily basis. I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way, really!
First, know that there is absolutely a difference between a portrait, a selfie and a headshot. Headshots have a job - a good headshot not only captures your image, but it hints at your personality, confidence and creates the all important “first impression”.

No pressure right?

Nah…this is where I come in. Rest assured I will provide you with all the information and guidance you need to nail the look that you need for your profession. Need to look confident? We got it. Need a serious expression? Done. Want to show a bit of your quirky personality? No problem! Not sure what background color suits your needs best? Let me help figure it out.

Leave your insecurity at the door. I got you!

The BASIC headshot session is done at the Fotoplicity studio, takes about 30-45 minutes and includes the following:

The Process

 

PREP GUIDE
Upon booking you will receive an e-guide which will walk you through what to wear, what kind of jewelry works and doesn’t, what colors to consider and other prep tips.

PHONE CONSULTATION
If you have questions, or need a little extra guidance you can schedule an optional phone consultation.

POSING/EXPRESSION COACHING
No need to practice in the mirror, I will help you achieve the look you are going for. From where to place your hands, how to relax your shoulders, angle your head and reduce a double chin - I will guide you!

IMMEDIATE IMAGE REVIEW
When done in the studio we will take breaks from shooting to review the images. This is where you tell me exactly what you like, what you don’t and then we’ll go back to the camera and make any needed adjustments. The more you share, the better the outcome.

RETOUCHING
If you wake up the day of your session with a large pimple on your cheek, don’t sweat it. Your selected headshots will be edited to perfection. Any blemishes, dark eye circles or random eyebrow hairs will be retouched.

Questions & Answers

  • It’s a good idea to bring a couple of options. Unless you plan on doing 3/4 length shots, you only need to bring shirts/blouses/tops. A good rule of thumb is to mix up the options with some formal and casual wear and neutral as well as bright colors.

    Bring attire that reflects you and your personality. Do try and avoid very busy patterns. Solid colors often work best.

  • At the Fotoplicity Studio, we will review each of your images together during the session to determine it’s viability for use in representing your personal brand.

    If done at another location all your best shots will be uploaded into a watermarked proofing gallery where you can choose your images for retouching and download.

  • The basic headshot session includes two fully retouched high resolution digitals with web resolution copies. You have the ability to purchase additional images if desired.

  • Yes. This is called a “Session Buyout”. You may purchase all the viable UNEDITED images from your session for $600. You may add retouching to any buy out image for $30 each.
