Yes, most clients like to keep it simple. It's best to have your hair styled and fixed in place before the photoshoot. I suggest opting for a natural makeup look that complements your skin tone and enhances your features. If needed, I can offer recommendations for talented makeup artists upon request. For inspiration and additional guidance, feel free to explore our portfolio and check out our blog, where you can find helpful resources like Recommended Hair and Makeup in Brooklyn and Manhattan and Professional Headshot Photographer: 10 Makeup Tips.
You can refer to our Welcome Guide to prepare to your session. Prioritize your well-being! The key to looking radiant and vibrant for your shoot is to prioritize your health in the days leading up to the session. Avoid indulging in alcohol, late nights, or activities that may leave you feeling fatigued and dehydrated. Additionally, take time to affirm yourself and your body positively before the photoshoot, fostering a confident and empowered mindset. Your mental and physical preparation will shine through in your portraits, capturing the best version of you.
In the weeks leading up to your session, we advise you to explore various clothing options for the photoshoot. We recommend selecting outfits that not only make you feel comfortable but also resonate with your personal style and the intended atmosphere of the shoot. Opt for clothing that flatters your body shape, with cuts and colors that complement you. For women, we suggest wearing seamless bras to avoid any unwanted imprints on your skin or shirt. Explore our portfolio for style inspiration and discover the look that best resonates with you.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Le Studio NYC by Léa Cartier for a headshot session, and I must say they exceeded my expectations. The studio for my first professional headshot in NYC was very inspiring and inviting, I immediately felt relaxed. Léa's talent for capturing the best angle and expression is unmatched.
