Frequently Asked Questions
-
There are several things you will need to bring to your shoot, but first and foremost is your wardrobe! I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to make sure you bring a LOT of wardrobe options. To help you cover your bases, here is a starter list to make sure you are on the right track (please note these are suggestions and not a comprehensive list):
*IRON/PRESS/STEAM YOUR CLOTHES PLEASE
Before I even talk about outfits, I need to remind you bring your clothes ironed/pressed/steamed. Wrinkles suck and look sloppy so save your shooting time by having your wardrobe ready to wear. Yes I’ve had clients roll in with a gym bag full of options, but man does that slow things down when we have limited time to shoot…And yes…I will have a rack to hang your clothes up.
Solid base layers (t-shirt, tanks, cami, etc.
For guys and girls a basic black, white, & gray tank or tee is always the simplest.
Bring V-necks and Crewnecks.
Ladies please be aware of any bra lines on your shirts (this tends to happen with thin material shirts, or tight tops). You don't want to have to pay for retouching on ALL of your images, so check your outfit and if needed be prepared to layer with a cami or tank.
Clothes to layer (sport's coat, jackets, sweaters, blouse, etc).
Something dressy
Guys it never hurts to bring a button-up, tie, & sport coat.
Ladies a nice dress can do wonders on camera!
We may shoot you fancy, we may not depending on your looks you want, but it doesn't hurt to bring it.
Accessories
You can bring accessories (ties, scarfs, jewelry) but we will only use items that do not pull focus from your face.
Headshot trends and styles evolve over time and while some traditional agents and casting directors may not approve of using jewelry, etc. some do. The main point is to focus on who you are as a person / actor. We can always choose not to use what you bring. I'll usually make sure we get enough "safe" shots in before we go to accessorize your look, so either way bringing more options is always nice! (Especially if you want to get a quick edgier shot for your personal marketing websites, etc.
Costumes? :)
Some agents want you to be very specific so it’s ok if you bring a police outfit, cowboy hat, military jacket, etc. Since you have unlimited looks it doesn’t hurt to have the option if you see yourself auditioning for specific genre type shows or films!
Friends
Seriously, if you trust a friend to keep you relaxed and having fun than by all means bring them by!
Food & Tunes!
I'll have bottled water, coffee, a few snacks, and a whole army of Spotify tunes waiting for you when you get here. If you want to grab a quick bite or coffee before you come that is cool and you can bring it over.
Please be careful when you eat to make sure your grill is clean so we see some nice pearly whites afterwards!
-
Makeup services are currently NOT part of our offered packages, however I do STRONGLY urge you to hire a makeup artist to work with you for the shoot! (My wife is a professional makeup artist & Esthetician, but she also owns a Spa so her availability may be limited).
You may hire anyone you like (or in a pinch do your own makeup), just let us know what you decide.
If you decide not to use makeup (usually the fellas) please remember that may affect the quantity of photos that will be useable without needing additional retouching. I do basic edits on everything, but will only edit blemished, stray hairs, etc. on your chosen retouches.
-
Yes and no. It really depends on the photo and how you did during your session. If you are a perfect model and the stars aligned and you did not have a single hair out of place, than you may be fine. Every client I shoot gets at least a few of their headshots retouched (all my Headshot Sessions include a few free retouches).
The way I personally view retouching is to take a natural approach that will help enhance your photos and get them to pop off the page or screen. I'll clean up skin and stray hairs, make sure your eyes are looking amazing, but other than that unless you ask for it I won't dramatically alter your appearance.
On that note, I STRONGLY advise against editing the photo yourself, or letting a "friend who knows photoshop" do it. Retouching photos of people is a skill many of us photographers and digital artists invest a lot of time learning and mastering (yes AI has learned too, but the paint brush is only as good as the craftsman wielding it ya know?). A poorly edited photo sticks out like a sore thumb and not in a good way. If you want to have a professional studio retouch your headshots I am totally ok with that!
-
I will include 1 retouched photo per look that you pay for. If you want additional photos retouched, it will be $30 per photo for most requests.
Retouching turnaround will be done as quickly as possible, but will depend on studio workload at the time of the request.
-
Select a date, time, and session length when you hit the BOOK NOW button. If you have questions first, send me a message and I’ll respond, or we can hop on a call to chat if you want.
A non-refundable 50% deposit is required to hold your appointment time. If you need to change your time your deposit will be credited to the new appointment.
When you book your shoot you will be asked to sign a Headshot Services Agreement and a Model Release Form.
The Services Agreement will articulate what services you are purchasing and what you will be charged for them.
The Model Release Form gives your permission for Lumos Eleven (my biz!)
to use the images we create on our online accounts (website/socials) for portfolio & advertising purposes only. You can always opt out of this if you want to keep it private.
-
I accept credit card, cash, Venmo, or Zelle payments.
You must pay for the deposit online to book the session, but if you want to pay the remaining balance with cash/Venmo/Zelle you can.
Payment is due in full upon completion of the session and before you leave the studio.
Images will not be delivered until payment has been received in full for all session & retouching work.
-
I will deliver all of your photos from the session except for the outtakes or blinks, etc. You’ll get a ton and they are yours to do with what you want!
I ONLY delivers DIGITAL copies of your images.
Delivered images will be High-Res 300dpi JPEGS for you to download and use. Good enough to print, perfect for online!
-
I will send you a link to view & download your photos within 7 days of your shoot at the latest (usually way earlier!).
Retouched photo turnaround and delivery will be determined by the studio schedule at the time of retouch request. Once you request your retouches they will be delivered in under two weeks (again depends on my current workload at the time).
