FAQ’s

  • We send out a comprehensive Headshot Guide when you book a session with a detailed guide but generally for headshots you should:

    • Stick to solid colors — they photograph cleanly and keep the focus on you.

    • Avoid busy patterns or logos that can be distracting.

    • Choose well-fitted NEW clothes that make you feel confident and comfortable.

    • Layers work well (like a blazer or jacket) to add depth and variety.

    Think about your industry and audience — finance, tech, or creative roles may lean toward slightly different styles — and bring options so we can pick what works best on camera wrinkle-free. (We do have a steamer on-site in case you forget!)

    For jewelry or accessories, less, if any, is more — aim for subtle accents rather than statement pieces.

    Most importantly, wear something you feel comfortable and confident in, because that confidence always comes through in the final image.

  • Hair and Makeup is highly recommended for both in-studio sessions and on-location shoots. Investing in professional styling ensures your team looks their best, reflecting the high quality of your brand.

    For individual studio sessions, we recommend booking one of our trusted HMUAs through us to ensure a seamless experience.

    We offer several services to suit any budget and have great half day and full day rates for Group Sessions

  • Before your session, we’ll send you a detailed prep guide based on my 20 years of experience. But here are the essentials:

    • Wardrobe refresh – a new or well-fitted outfit can help you feel your best.

    • Take care of yourself – hydration, rest, and healthy habits show up in your skin and energy.

    • Consider professional hair & makeup – it’s an investment in looking polished.

    • Don’t stress – even if you’re camera-shy, I’ll guide you through simple poses to bring out natural, confident expressions.

  • We shoot at GOOD FRIEND STUDIO just by Central Market just off Guadalupe!

    Free Parking on site and on site cafe Terrible Love for a pre-shoot caffeine boost!

  • In Studio: We shoot using studio flash and daylight with multiple backgrounds. If you have a specific need for your marketing or company branding we’re happy to collaborate.

    On Location: We bring our studio to you and work fast, so you can get back to your work day.

    After your session we upload your images to a private gallery for you to choose your favorite images to get retouched.

  • For individual headshot sessions, your private online gallery with proofs will be delivered within 24 hours. Once you select your final images, retouching is typically completed within 3–5 business days.

    Expedited Delivery can be purchased after the session if you wish to rush your order. Please ask at time of booking.

    Group sessions vary - but you can expect up to 14 days before you receive all your final retouches.

  • Retouching is included with all final images to ensure a clean, professional finish. Standard edits include skin smoothing, stray hair removal, eye brightening, teeth whitening, and color correction—all designed to enhance your natural look while maintaining authenticity. Our retouching rates are some of the most competitive in ATX and start at $50 for individual images.

    If you have specific requests beyond our standard retouching—such as background replacements, advanced body shaping, or object removal—just let us know.

    Additional charges may apply depending on the complexity of the request.

  • Group Sessions require a 50% deposit made at time of booking to secure the session. Please drop us an email for details and sessions can be booked up to 3 months in advance.

    For Individual Sessions full payment is taken at time of booking. Please see our booking page for our latest policy

  • Corporate prices vary depending on your office and employee size. Basic Group / Company Rates vary depending on company needs and team size. Please drop us a line for a quote.
