OUR HEADSHOT PHOTO PROCESS
Our unique headshot process is what sets us apart from other headshot photographers in North East Ohio! Our headshot sessions begins with a free phone consultation to discuss the end-result desired and pick a convenient time and date. We want to convey the feeling and mood of your profession - wether it's up-beat & happy, serious, hip & cool, sexy, fun or simply professional. For our in-studio sessions, we start by taking dozens of professional shots with many flattering angles directed by our talented posing coach. Next, we show you all of the best headshots and help you pick your favorite. Then we edit the photo in Photoshop to magazine quality. We can remove any blemishes, brighten teeth/eyes, remove or add hair, enhance body shape, tailor clothing, basically - anything you want! We can even take your favorite face and photoshop it onto your favorite body pose. The options are limitless. This unique in-studio headshot process offers our clients control over their image and ensures 100% customer satisfaction.
The process from start to finish typically takes less than 1 hour with the final photo unbranded and copyright free - delivered in both color (and black and white upon request) to your email at the end! So there's no waiting for your headshot and there's no surprises. You'll know you love the shot as you'll have just watched the editing process until you're satisfied.

We always edit per customer's specific request, options include (but aren't limited to):

We also offer our very popular in-person editing sessions (at no extra cost), you can direct and watch while your photos are edited and most of the time the final files are emailed to you before you even leave the studio!

Rushes available for $95+
*Any in-studio headshots are $50/edit per person
Makeup
MATTE, MATTE, MATTE. For makeup matte and powder based foundations photograph way better than reflective, shiny or liquid foundations. If you love your liquid foundation - consider bringing a translucent setting powder to minimize shine. DO NOT wear a lot of shimmer, shiny or sparkly highlighters or eyeshadows as it gives the model a greasy, shiny look - despite how much you may love highlighter in your every-day-life. Makeup tends to fade out in photos - so consider wearing a more heavy makeup look than you do for everyday. For example, if you were dressing up for a wedding or nice dinner that style of makeup would be more appropriate for a headshot. You might even consider false lashes (but the NATURAL styled - NOT Lady Gaga style - unless that represents YOU) as they can really help the eyes pop! If you have a break out or got no sleep the night before - no worries we can edit your images to remove any blemishes, whiten teeth, soften wrinkles, under-eye bags and so much more! If it’s not included with your package, just ask and we’ll add it on for a fee.
Hair
For hair styles we recommend wearing your hair for the photoshoot the way you would for a nice dinner out. Get your highlights & grey covered if that’s how you prefer your hair. We do not recommend trying out a new hair style for your headshot, as experiments can have mishaps and you don’t want to show up stuck with a new color/ cut/ style that you hate. For headshot packages that include editing, we can easily add volume, remove fly-aways, add color to thinning spots for men, slightly move down hair-lines and fill in bald spots. If editing is not included in your package - you can always ask about adding this service on.
Wardrobe
Although you may be showing up for what you think is just a “headshot” you will want to ensure you dress head-to-toe. Sometimes we shoot the full-body or a pose where you’re sitting and a foot may show up. Often people say, I wish I would’ve brought nicer shoes. So even if you don’t think you’ll need them - bring them in case! If you do your nails - come with them done, this is another thing people say - I wish I would have done them. For example if you’re doing an arm’s crossed pose - your hands will show up. Remove any bracelets, watches, jewelry, accessories you do not want in the shot - they often peak out of the sleeve and show up even if you think you’re hiding them. If you where glasses, we’ll be doing headshots with them on and off so we can photoshop out the glare. More tailored suits and shirts are more flattering than baggy suits. Dark colors like Black, Navy, Dark grey are more sliming than white or pastels. Horizontal patterns will make you look wider, while vertical patterns will make you look taller. Tight patterns, like houndstooth and tight checkers/ stripes look BAD in online media as they look like an optical illusion. In general you should wear colors you LOVE on yourself and outfits that you think, “I look good whenever I wear this.” Dressing in what makes you feel most confident will help you appear confident in the end photo. If your photo is being used for a company that requires the image - get any information on requirements prior to the shoot so you’re prepared. If this is for your own company or business think about what best represents you - there are no “shoulds”. If you always where jeans and a polo in your business - wear that! If you always wear suits - where your favorite one! Be sure to check under your package details to see how many outfits are included, for some sessions only 1 outfit is included but you may be able to add another look on for an additional fee. However, even if your photoshoot package & budget only allows one outfit - we always give a free consult when you arrive on what we think will look best.
Posing
We are experts at pose-coaching and will easily guide you through the photoshoot process. We’ll mirror the exact poses to you and guide you on how to place every part of your body right down to the fingers and toes! Facial expressions are perhaps the most important part of the pose & we’ve got you covered there also! We have techniques on how to bring about natural smiles that will convey a friendly, approachable friendly vibe for headshots. We also encourage you to get in the right headspace prior to the shoot. Luckily, Liza is an empath so she’ll be able to read your energy when you arrive and help coach you into the best headspace to capture the message you’re trying to convey in the headshot. During the shoot you may do eyes-closed exercises to help bring something you love into the mind’s focus, then open the eyes and look into the camera to capture that happy thought! Have insecurities? No problem. Liza is an expert at minimizing them - just tell her what they are when you arrive and trust her expertise to guide you through them. Often clients leave saying, that’s the only photo I’ve ever liked of me smiling or I never thought I’d like that pose while I was doing it, but it’s the best! So relax - we’ve got you covered and we’re confident you’ll love your results.
