Operating with a portable photography studio equipped with professional lighting, backdrops, and more, I offer on-location services tailored to your needs in the DC area. Whether it's corporate headshots, business headshots, or professional headshots in DC, I've got you covered.

My approach ensures a comprehensive array of shots, both horizontal and vertical, guaranteeing a diverse selection for your consideration. Opting for studio corporate headshots presents a distinctive advantage: a consistent aesthetic that aligns seamlessly with your brand identity. Choose from a range of backdrops, addressing concerns about how different skin tones interact with a white background. Rest assured, with the right lighting techniques, a white backdrop can be just as flattering, bringing dimension and contrast to your images.

Before your studio headshot session, take note of the following:

A Few Days Before the Session:

• Hydrate your skin and stay well-hydrated.
• Consider a haircut for a polished look.
• Males, trim nose and ear hair.
• Prioritize a good night's sleep for a vibrant complexion.
• Ladies, opt for neutral nail colors.

Wardrobe:

• Choose solid colors that enhance your skin tone and eyes.
• Ensure color coordination for jackets and layers.
• Opt for new or freshly cleaned clothing for a pristine appearance.
• Darker colors provide a slimming effect.
• Avoid sleeveless attire.
• Bring glasses for variety.
• Consider bringing a second blazer for a diverse look.

Makeup:

• Apply a moderate amount suitable for a regular workday.
• Avoid heavy makeup; close headshots magnify details.
• Opt for light to medium eyeliners, eye shadows, and lipsticks.
• Keep shades close to your skin tone.
• Minimize foundation and avoid shiny makeup.
• Consider a makeup artist for touch-ups.

By the way, makeup can be just as important for men as it is for women in a photoshoot. Here are some men's makeup tips for photo shoots:

• Proper skin preparation is essential. Cleanse the skin and apply a moisturizer. Use a primer to create a smooth canvas for makeup and to help it last longer.
• Use a concealer to cover blemishes or dark circles under the eyes.
• Men's skin tends to be oilier, which can create unwanted shine. Use a matte-finish powder or oil control primer to keep the skin looking matte.
• Well-groomed eyebrows can help frame the face and add definition. Use a brow gel or pencil to fill in any sparse areas.

Why should you consider getting a professional makeup artist before your photo shoot?

• Makeup that looks great in person may not look as good on camera. Professional makeup artists are experienced in creating camera-ready makeup that will shine in photos.
• Can reduce stress. Instead of spending time trying to get the perfect look on your own, you can sit back, relax, and focus on other aspects of the shoot.
• When you look your best, you feel more confident. This confidence will translate into greater comfort in front of the camera.

Right Before the Session:

• Brush your teeth to ensure a clean smile.
• Alternate between open and closed smiles.
• Empty pockets, including your phone.

By following these guidelines, you'll be well-prepared for a successful and polished studio headshot session in DC. Let's capture your professional image flawlessly!
