Image Selection & Add-Ons

HAIR AND MAKE-UP

Hair and makeup aren’t provided as part of the session, but you’re welcome to approach it in whatever way feels best for you.

Many clients choose to do their own hair and makeup for a natural, familiar look, while others prefer to work with a professional artist. If you’d like recommendations, I’m happy to share a trusted list of artists you can book directly — or you’re always welcome to bring your own.

There’s no requirement either way. The goal is simply that you feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself in front of the camera.

Slate-Shots: $125

• Add a professionally filmed slate-shot video to your session — complete with on-camera direction, professional color grading, and delivered ready to upload directly to your Actors Access profile.

Extra Retouched Images: $55 per image

Entire Session Gallery (Color-Graded) – $225

• Receive the complete gallery of your images in high resolution, fully color-graded and delivered without watermarks — yours to download, keep, and use exactly as seen in your proofing gallery.

RUSH DELIVERY - $65

• Need your images sooner? Your final retouched images will be delivered within 48 hours of selection.

More Important Info:

• Be punctual:
  Please make sure to arrive on time. Being late will result in less time in front of the camera.

• Deposits & Payment:
  A non-refundable deposit of $150 is required to reserve a session and is vital to secure your desired date and time. We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, so we allow rescheduling up to three days before the shoot no questions asked. However, rescheduling with less than three days’ notice leads to forfeiture of the deposit, ensuring that our business remains financially secure. We aim to be flexible by allowing up to two reschedules without losing the deposit, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful planning for your appointment. On the day of the shoot, upon completion, the remaining balance must be settled using ZELLE payment (preferred), personal check, Apple Tap-to-Pay* or Credit Card*
  (*~3% bank processing fee applies to Credit Card payments.)

• Refunds:
  We aim for you to love your photos and we will work hard to make your ideas a reality. Please understand we don't offer refunds. Your happiness matters most, so be ready for your photo session. Check the steps below for tips. We promise to do our best to create beautiful photos like those in our portfolio.
  

  • Tips for a Successful Shoot:
    
    1) Understand what you require.
    If you need to express something in your shots, such as a specific mood or emotion, or if your hair and makeup need to be styled in a particular way, or if your agent or manager requires a certain "look," it's important to communicate these details with us beforehand. Feel free to ask to review your images during the shoot to ensure everything is as you desire.
    2) It's a Collab
    We value honest feedback on your perspective of our portfolio. Your opinions help us enhance our work. While we appreciate creative freedom to excel, we welcome specific preferences on backgrounds or styles that don't align with your vision. Sharing your likes and dislikes ensures we deliver results that exceed your expectations.
    3) Be Prepared
    Bring clothes you like and feel good in, get enough sleep, plan your day, take care of your skin, see a stylist for haircut/color, shape brows (if needed), and schedule a makeup/hair appointment to feel comfortable.
    4) : And above all, participate.
    Your photos need life, passion, and authenticity. A headshot is more than a product; it's a collaboration between you and the camera. Like you're dedicated to your work on stage and screen, bring that same energy to capturing your true self. Enjoy the moment, put your energy into it, and let your personality come through. Stay focused, be actively involved, and let your inner light show in every picture.

• Copyrights & Usage: Actors are encouraged to utilize these images for self-promotion on their personal websites or those of their reps.
