General Info
-Please don't be late to your appointment -We're a small home studio and can't accommodate an entourage. If you bring an escort, it's considerate if they step out for the session. There are plenty of coffee shops nearby! -Music? Yes! We love when our clients bring music playlists to the studio. Whatever will get you into a mood/ zone/ character, write a list or share a Spotify playlist. It's one of the most successful ways to get out of your head and into the shoot. -The studio is located in the upper west side, Manhattan on 163rd and Broadway off the A/C/1 trains. -Eat before the shoot! No matter what style of shoot, it will require a lot of energy. Nerves on top of an empty stomach is a bad mix. You're welcome to bring snacks. Payment and receiving your images -In order to secure your booking, we require a non-refundable $50 deposit, so be certain you can make it! -We accept cash, Venmo or transfer. We also accept payment plans. -If you're on a payment plan, you will receive the images on receipt of your final payment. -Make sure you have a Google Drive set up to receive your images. If you have a Gmail you have a Google Drive. |

Outfits

-The general guideline for headshots is not to wear anything that draws focus from your face, like patterns, strange or busy necklines and jewelry.
-It's recommended you go for colours that compliment your skin tone and avoid black and white. However rules are allowed to be broken if you feel strongly about an outfit and it compliments you well.
-Please avoid spaghetti straps or very low/strapless necklines. Ensure if you wear a bra it doesn't show.
