Makeup

Light make up is recommended to reduce skin shine and imperfections. Ensure even coverage and aim for a "natural" look with a subtle emphasis on your eyes. If you require a makeup artist, we can hire one on your behalf for $250.

Makeup for men is not recommended. All images will receive light retouching and image editing. Extensive photo editing requests will incur additional charges depending on the scope of work required.

Hair

Please arrive at the shoot with your hair ready and looking its best. Any special requests should be communicated before your session. A hair stylist can be hired for the shoot.

Facial Hair

Beards are great! You know your brand better than we do, so rock whatever facial hair you want. Light grooming will go a long way, so bring your favourite grooming products with you to make sure you're looking your best.
