I HATE HAVING MY PHOTO TAKEN!
No problem! Many of our clients dislike being in front of a camera. Whether it’s body shyness, the misbelief that they’re unphotogenic, or even the confusion about what to wear or how to pose —This feeling is totally normal, and we will answer any questions and coach you to alleviate your anxieties or issues that you may have prior to stepping in front of the camera. Our goal is for you to walk out of our studio knowing that you’ve taken one of the best photos of your life!
I WEAR GLASSES. WILL GLARE BE AN ISSUE?
Not at all. We will alleviate any glare – whether at the time of your session or in post-production.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT ON THE DAY OF MY HEADSHOT SESSION?
First of all, we are in a great location in the Old Town area of Alexandria, Virginia. We will personally greet you once you step into our building. We will have a brief chat to manage each other’s expectations prior to stepping into our studio. Once you step in front of the camera, we will coach you to the “look” that you are seeking for your audience. With the gift of instant gratification, you will be about to view your images on a 17-inch monitor to ensure that we are going in the right direction of the look that you’re seeking. At the end of your session, you will select the photo(s) that you are drawn to the most.
