FAQs

Do you have parking?

The studio is located in downtown Durham, located at 105 Hood Street, where I have private on-site parking directly in front of my studio.  Please come right in!

In most cases I will have a session before yours.  Please try to be no more than 5 minutes early if you must be early (I get it).  You can come and sit in the lobby while I wrap up my session or prepare the equipment and lighting for your session.

It’s always best to avoid bold patterns and choose something  simple.  Solid colors work great, especially ones that work for your skin tone. Wear something you enjoy! Keep jewelry and accessories simple.  I will also send you my What to Wear Guide upon booking your headshot.

A headshot session takes anywhere from 10 – 45 minutes, or longer depending on how many looks we are creating for you.  I aim to capture the most authentic smiles and to make you feel at ease.

A look is any change to the wardrobe, whether its a tie change-out, shirt or blouse change, jacket, etc

Absolutely!  If you are coming in only for a headshot, you can come in wearing pajama bottoms and your favorite slippers.  No need to wear dress pants, dress shoes & heels (although some clients will wear PJs with their favorite heels from time to time – do what makes you feel good!)

If you normally wear glasses, please bring them!  We can decide to use them or not, but its best to have them as an option.

You totally can, and I offer comfortable areas for them to hang out.  If you are on the fence about bringing someone, It’s totally up to you.  Friends and family members will often times become an unintentional distraction.  Their intentions are for moral support and thats awesome, just know that I will be your biggest fan while while you are at the studio!  Everyone is different and I respect  your decisions.

Clients under the age of 18 must have a guardian present.

All images are shot with pro grade gear through and trough to make sure the highest quality is achieved.  Clients will receive both hi-res images @300dpi, and a web friendly compression as part of their gallery package.  Each image comes cropped in several different ways to make the entire process as easy as just uploading your images without the headache of having to figure out formats, ratios and compressions.  Who wants to do that?  I am always happy to adjust the sizes and compressions based on specific criteria for IMDb, MLS, LinkedIn, passports, websites, etc.  Just ask!

Your proof gallery is delivered within 24 hours (Except for weekends).  On Fridays, I try my best to get the proofs out same day.  You will pick the images you want to keep and/or have retouched. The final images selected from the proof gallery typically take 3-7 business days to edit, and will be presented in a beautiful online gallery for easy download, sharing, and printing.

I love getting to know my clients and allowing them to enjoy the session that they may have otherwise had apprehension about, which, for most, having their picture taken is not something they ‘love’ having done.  When I have the opportunity to change that, my clients walk away feeling satisfied and confident about their session, excited to see their images, and that makes me very happy.  I love providing my clients with a service that is enjoyable, but moreover, It’s the investment you’re making which I take very seriously, and I want you to get the most out of your session.

Proofs can be made available for purchase with perpetual license.

I am fortunate to work with very talented stylists who know and understand how I photograph, plus, you will have us as a team to give you the best-in-class service.

After the session, I will email you a link to your proof gallery, and from there, you’ll make your picks.  It’s an easy process and ensures you have enough time to pick the ones you love.

Best course of action is to fill out the contact form (I get back quickly).

It’s totally up to you. Our hair and makeup artists specialize in headshot photography and makeup.  Many clients also choose to do their own make-up and they can do so before they arrive, or at the studio with our lighted make-up mirror.

We can do both!  Let me know ahead if you have a specific preference.  If it’s raining or freezing, or a hurricane is nearby, it’s best to not to be outside.

I will be with you every step of the way, explaining the process, and coaching you, to make sure your session is relaxing, enjoyable, and worry free!

All final images selected will be retouched and will vary based on each individual’s needs.  A few common retouches consist of blemish removal, teeth brightening, hair fly-away fix, eye redness reduction along with a multitude of other edits all done in a very natural and flattering way.
