Frequently Asked Questions
What clothing should I bring?
Learn More
Choose outfits that represent the image you want to project at work or in business. Bring a mix of professional options—such as suits, jackets, or dresses—and simple, classic looks for variety. Avoid busy patterns or logos that can distract. Solid colors and clean lines photograph best.
Should I have a makeup artist?
Learn More
I provide professional retouching for every image, and this is usually enough. Executive portraits are close-up work, while most makeup artists are trained for brides who will be seen from a distance. The result is often heavy application that appears like stage makeup in the finished portraits, which is distracting and lowers their quality. For best results, it’s usually better to follow the simple preparation suggestions I provide during your pre-session consultation.
Will you shoot at my location?
Learn More
Yes! I charge a session fee for studio sessions and just $100 more to set up my portable studio at the client’s location. There is no additional charge for locations within 120 miles of Charlottesville. We will confirm space requirements during the consultation call.
