Clients have been very happy with their results from a 45 minute digital corporate headshot session. Keeping the digital corporate headshot session relatively short produces the best results. However, if you are not comfortable or have little or no experience in front of the camera you should plan for a 1 hour digital corporate headshot session. My digital corporate headshot sessions are casual and I am very good at making you feel at ease in front of the camera.

All Corporate Headshot Sessions Include:

• Unlimited digital headshots within the alotted session time.
• I will upload a zip file of the retouched hi–res digital headshot(s) to my server for you to download to your computer.
• If requested, I will burn a CD/DVD with your hi–res retouched digital headshot(s).

If you need digital corporate headshots for many employees use 15 minutes per person as a guide when picking the proper session length. If you have employees that aren't photogenic or don't like to have their picture taken you should estimate 30-1hr for them. If I come to your business please add 30 minutes to the session length for scouting a location and setup time. The digital corporate headshot session may take more or less time then estimated depending on how photogenic the employees are and any hair and wardrobe issues.

• When you show up we discuss what you want for your headshot, and the make-up artists does your make-up if you requested one.
• We will periodically review pictures on camera.
• At the end of the digital headshots session we will view all the digital headshots on the camera screen and delete those you do not want.
• I will post a web gallery of the digital headshots for you to view (usually the same day). You can send the URL to friends, agents, and family to get their opinion on which headshots you should choose. I will also email you with my favorite headshots from your digital headshot session if requested.

Get more online dates than ever before! Online dating experts will tell you that having a great photo on your profile is the key to attracting the quality singles you want to meet. I will capture attractive photos of the real you to upload to your online dating profile so that the real you is represented online.

Posting a photo on a dating site that does not look like you is cheating. If a photographer retouches your photos to make you look like a supermodel – and you are not one – then you are cheating other dating site singles. But if you post a dark, blurry, posed or unfocused photo that makes you look twenty years older than you are, then you’re cheating yourself. That’s how most photos on dating sites look. The people who look at your profile want to know exactly who you are. They want to see the real you.

All Online Dating Headshot Sessions Include:

• Unlimited digital headshots within the alotted session time
• All low–resolution web only 450 pixel images (vertical) 500 pixel (horizontal) downloaded to your computer.

Within 48hrs Marybeth's new headshots on Match.com got 100 hits, in two and a half weeks, 500 hits. Janettes new headshots on Match.com got 26 views and 3 emails in 12hrs. The previous year Janette got 20 views and two emails. On okCupid, Janette got 34 views and 2 emails and normally she gets 3 views a day and one email every two or three weeks.

Another client reported to me that in the past two months "the response has been overwhelming thanks to your great photography. I have received 2000 views since I put my new headshots online." And yet another client met her current husband once she uploaded her new headshots.

True Love Is Just A Photo Away
“I first winked at John (which was against my original "rules" I originally started by just letting men contact me.) He wrote back almost immediately. We talked on the phone a few times, then had dinner a week later. From that first date, I knew I had met my future husband. We connected immediately and I knew we were totally compatible. Seven months later, he proposed and we are now having fun bringing our two families together and starting to plan the wedding (we each have 2 kids). Meeting him was wonderful, a total dream and much better than I ever could have imagined. As far as my overall online dating experience: Without a shred of doubt I attribute my success to my photos that I had taken with Roger. The number of winks and contacts I got went through the roof after I posted the professional photos. Seriously, I could have had a date almost every night of the week. I went from getting just a few winks/emails a week to getting several a day. It was great for me because it helped me relax about the whole thing. I didn't feel worried about not meeting someone anymore and it made the whole process really fun. Plus, Roger was great; he was really patient with me and helped me get some really great pictures. I also had my makeup professionally done by Talya Siegel, which was well worth the extra money. My fiance actually keeps the photos on his desktop because he loves them also. Now, whenever anyone asks me about online dating, I always tell them, Don't even start until you get some professional pictures taken by Roger. I tell everyone who is interested: Oneline dating is a great way to meet someone, but the pictures are critical!” Online dating experts will tell you that having a great photo on your profile is the key to attracting the quality singles you want to meet.

If you have very little experience in front of the camera, I highly recommend you choose a digital headshot session that will give you the time you need to get comfortable in front of the camera.

• Keep yourself hydrated; dehydration will affect the look of your skin.
• Please get a good night sleep the night before the digital headshot session. If you feel tired, it will show in the pictures.
• Avoid using alcohol and tobacco products the night before and day of the shoot. My studio is a non-smoking environment.
• Hair should be cut, colored, and styled to your liking. Please bring your own gel, comb, hair clips, or hairbrush. The condition of your hair will greatly affect the final look of your digital headshot session. If you are having a bad hair day, you are better off rescheduling (you must reschedule earlier in the day not an hour before the photoshoot).
• If you need a makeup artist I can arrange for one, but you are welcome to bring your own makeup artist. Makeup time will vary depending on the style of makeup used. Natural makeup will take about 1 hour for ladies; 30 minutes for gentlemen. Please arrive with a clean face, no make-up. Unless you really know how to apply makeup, I strongly suggest that you use a makeup artist. Be aware that you should look like your headshot when you go for an audition, so if you use a makeup artist, be sure you can make yourself look like your headshot or have the makeup artist do your makeup again before your audition. Makeup should look natural.
• If you do not like your make-up you are responsible for speaking up before the photo session begins, otherwise it will be assumed you are fine with the make-up and no refund will be given by the make-up artist.
• If you choose not to use a make-up artist, do not expect your skin tone to look as good as someone who uses a makeup artist. You will have more shiny areas due to oily and sweaty skin. Your skin may also have varying degrees of color blotches and acne. Digital retouching can improve the look of your skin but if over done will make the skin look fake. It is always better to use a makeup artist to even out your skin tone.
• If you decide to do your own makeup, please make sure you bring powder to reduce glare from oily skin.
• Bring a variety of necklines; I find narrow V–necks to be the best choice for most people.
• Please avoid wide V–necks as they reveal too much skin and will take the focus off your face.
• If you have a long neck then a rounded collar usually works best.
• Turtle necks usually dont come out that good as it makes your head look round and fat.
• Long sleeve shirts will be better if you dont like how your arms look.
• It is best not to bring friends or parents to your photoshoot, as they are usually a distraction, but sometimes they can help. I leave this to your discretion.
• Bring at least 3 changes of clothes: Wear solid color tops that create a contrast with your skin tone which frames your face better (dark skinned peole can get away with lighter colors, light skinned people should wear darker colors).
• Black shirts can sometimes be too contrasty for your skin tone and blend with your dark hair. I recommend navy blue, blue, green, purples, dark reds. Pastel colors are usually too light and do not create a contrast to frame your face. Darker skinned individuals can wear lighter colors (pastel) but please avoid white.
• If you have black hair, bring shirts that are also slightly lighter then your hair to give some separation between the shirt and hair.
• If you bring white shirts be aware that they will be over exposed somewhat. Try to wear a darker jacket over the white shirt.
• If you have blue eyes, bring some blue shirts. If you have green eyes, bring some green shirts.
• Please do not wear clothes that will take the focus from your face (no contrasting, wild, intricate patterns, stripes, especially around the collar). Sometimes busy patterned colored outfits can work for body shots but in most cases dont.
• For body shots wear a nice form fitting shirt /sweater / outfit. Make sure its not so tight that it shows any unwanted bulges. Baggy dress shirts or loose blouses tend to wrinkle too much and create unpleasant shapes. If you have lost alot of weight recently please go by some form fitting close before the shoot.
• Shoes are not very important for the photoshoot since i rarely will shoot past mid thigh for bodyshots. If wearing certain shoes will make you feel different then bring them, otherwise you only need one pair of shoes.
• Wear something you will be comfortable in. If you don't like the outfit you are wearing it will show in your pictures.
• It is best not to bring friends or parents to your photoshoot, as they are usually a distraction, but sometimes they can help. I leave this to your discretion.
• If you know you are a major blinker with flashes please schedule a shoot during the day so we can shoot outside.
• If images are converted to black and white, the color will turn a shade of gray, the darker the color the darker the shade of gray.
• Sometimes I will crop the top of your hair if your hair competes with your face in the composition. Do not be alarmed, all photographers will do this if it makes a better picture. If however you want a traditonal highschool picture composition please tell me ahead of time so i can accomidate your taste.
• When in doubt, bring it with you.
