Frequently asked Questions

  1. What should I wear? It is best to where what you feel best in while dressing up a bit, if it’s corporate then have your tie and jacket or that special blouse or outfit. If you’re just looking for an update for social media or you’re an entrepreneur or are not specifically in a corporate environment then business casual would be fine. Stay away from bright colors unless that’s your thing, or from busy patterns that are distracting. Don’t wear big jewelry such as large dangling earrings or neckless that are overpowering or draw too much attention. The rule for jewelry is if it draws the attention from your eyes then don’t wear it!

  2. How long will my headshot take? Generally it will be about half an hour, but it will take as long as it needs in order for us to get past the lens pointing at me phase and get to the point where we are capturing your best and natural looks. It can take a few shots before I find your best angles and sides, or at what point your smile matches the little squinting of your eyes. These details are the work of the photographer and should be anticipated as part of the process. We’ll work thru that awkward phase, have a few laughs and then finish up with some great headshots.

  3. Should I have a stylist or make-up artist? I suggest that if you are used to putting yourself together go with that, but if you’re someone who doubts the way you look often, then a stylist can be a huge benefit. Don’t go get a new hairstyle or haircut! and if you’re a man and your needing to get your haircut do it three days in advance, especially in the summer months. Trim you beard and mustache a day ahead of time.

  4. Can I come to your studio? We currently do not work out of a studio, but come to your location. If you are a corporate client or a model who wants multiple looks etc. there are many studios to rent around Indianapolis by the hour and day. So, if having the set-up in your office or home is not feasible we can still make it happen.

  5. When do I see my proofs? Generally, your proofs will be provided within 48hrs of your shoot via secure proof gallery. You’ll be able to share that gallery with others if you choose for second opinions. We get rid of obvious NO’s as well as images that are essentially duplicates. The images receive very basic edits to begin with, upon your selection of images you desire they are then “finalized” and go thru the complete editing process to have blemishes and contouring (burning and dodging) hair smoothing etc. applied. If you are choosing the branding session, then proofing may happen in person as soon as we’re finished due to the various purposes and types of photography being employed. This assures the images needed for your marketing are in fact achieved as well as expediting the editing process and staying in tune with the desired look of the brand.

  6. Will you pose me? Yes, I will coach you and help you find your comfort zone while being photographed. If you don’t know your best side we’ll find it. You’ll probably even get a few helpful hints for future photos by friends and family or even those selfies.

  7. Do I really need a professional headshot? If you are a business owner, in sales, have a professional career, looking for a professional position or serious about your social accounts and status, Yes. If any of that applies to you and you haven’t updated your headshot or portrait for a few years, Yes. If you just want something for your social media and aren’t actively selling or influencing there then No, you probably can do without the expense and have a friend get a good shot of you with your phone, but if you just want one, that’s fine too!

  8. We have less than 5 individuals that need headshots at our office, can we still get a group rate? Yes, Generally speaking, if the portraits do not require moving a lighting set-up and the same scene or background is to be employed then a reduced rate will be granted. Typically at three individuals.

  9. I’ve had my headshots in the past and the photographer charged me an additional fee for “usage rights” or “licensing” do you charge this fee? No, I do not charge an additional fee for usages or licensing. Typically this fee is associated with commercial licensing where advertising or direct sales are involved. If you’re having a personal branding session and part of your photography is product you sell, then there may be a usage fee applied, but in most cases the first year of “rights” are included.
