The process:
Once you book, you will receive an email with wardrobe and grooming tips for preparing for your shoot.
Where: 2829 2nd Ave South, Suite 305
Birmingham, AL. 35233
This is at Pepper Place and my studio is in the old Dr Pepper Building- the one with the farmer in overalls painted on the side.
Day of your shoot: You come ready to go, having your hair, makeup (if you wear it), and clothing "camers ready" (meaning clothing already pressed, hair already fixed, nose hairs clipped, beard trimmed to how you wear it on a good workday). I do have a primping area in my changing room for you to do your last minute items. Then we shoot! I'll be your expression coach if you need it and posing guide. Don't stress! I know it is hard to be in front of the camera, but I'll do my best to help you relax and enjoy it! I shoot tethered straight into the computer, so you are able to see your straight out of camera images immediately. Once we capture the images needed, I help you narrow them down to which one/s you want to purchase. You purchase the same day (I use Square for all my business financials, and yes, I can take credit cards on site).
Once you have selected and purchased the images you want, I will professionally edit and process them. By processing them, I mean I optimize each image for the platforms on which you might use them, e.g. web, linkedIn, print, etc. Then, within 10-14 days you will receive a Dropbox folder with all your images. You may let me know if you can not use Dropbox, and I can send your folder to Google Drive.
The session is for 30min-70min with time for one, possibly two outfit changes. If you believe you need more time, you can schedule 2 sessions back to back. This is the CLASSIC HEADSHOT session which is my signature headshot which is truly a "head" shot meaning the composition of the shot is from mid chest up. 1/2 or 3/4 body shots are portraits branding shots, and I am happy to shoot these. Just know the sitting fee as well as image fee are doubled for that style .
Don't stress over what kind smile/no smile you should go for, I will be your expression coach, and I'm committed to making you feel comfortable in front of the camera and give an expression that speaks your brand.
