Frequent Questions

We aim to retouch with empathy and love, and we think it’s important to keep it real. We want you to look like you would on your best day when you are well rested and hydrated, having a great hair day, and your skin is clear and blemish free.

Temporary blemishes will always be removed and more permanent features like scars or moles can be remove on request.

Both! We have a comfortable and cozy studio attached to our home here in Green. The studio has its own entrance and a private restroom and changing room that you are welcome to use.

If it’s easier for us to come to you, or if you want your work space to serve as your backdrop, we can bring our portable headshot studio to you for a small fee.

Absolutely. We can bring our portable headshot studio to your office, and we’ll even help set up time slots to get everyone scheduled to keep the process smooth and trouble free. Check out our team headshots page for more details and pricing.

We’ll be able to review and select your favorite images in real time as we are taking them. This is an excellent way to make sure that hair, clothing and jewelry are doing exactly what you want.

By the end of your headshot session, you will have made a selection of your favorite images for proofing. These proofs will go into a private online gallery where you’ll be able to make your final selections for retouching and downloading.

We recommend updating your headshots every 2 to 3 years, or anytime your appearance changes noticeably, like a new hairstyle, glasses, significant weight change, or even a shift in personal style.

If you’re in a client-facing or public role, keeping your image current helps build trust and ensures you’re recognizable in real-world interactions or online networking. Consistency across platforms like LinkedIn, company websites, and marketing materials is key to a strong personal brand.

A headshot is a type of professional portrait that focuses primarily on the face, usually framed from the shoulders up. It’s designed to clearly represent what you look like in a polished, approachable, and professional way. Headshots are most commonly used for business profiles, LinkedIn, company websites, speaking engagements, press features, and marketing materials.

Unlike lifestyle or family portraits, which are often more candid or artistic, headshots have a specific purpose: to help people recognize you and make a strong first impression in a professional context. They’re less about telling a personal story and more about capturing your best, most confident self.

We review the images together during your session so that we can make adjustments as need as we go. You can choose your favorite before we deliver the final version. Retouching is included to address minor blemishes or distractions.
