Prep tips

Location: My studio is above Fort Collins 4x4 Center at 6024 S College Ave in the same building as Fort Collins 4x4. My entrance is on the NW corner of the building. You can find it on Google or yelp at Fort Collins Headshot Studio. Studio Sessions - What to expect: You will pick your background color prior to arrival. Also, please look at my portfolio and let me know if you are wanting the professional headshots or the studio personal branding. These are 2 different lighting set ups, so I would like to be set up when you arrive. I direct you as I take shots of you at different angles, we preview the images, narrow them down, re-shoot if need be and you pick your images before you leave. If your session includes retouching, we will discuss those edits. I edit them and send them to you in high resolution downloadable format. If your company has guidelines for photos or is looking for something other than what I normally do, please pass those along before the session. What to Wear: Women: Keep jewelry to a minimum. Stud earrings look best. Bring different necklines if you are not sure what to wear. Solids look better than prints. Make sure your shirt is ironed/steamed and free of stains and pet hair. I recommend buying a new top that is crisp off of the shelf for headshots. Look in the mirror from your chest up and make sure your shirt is able to be fixed if it pulls. If you have the 1 hour session, you can start light with makeup and add more as we go. Men: Take a good look in the mirror and check those nose hairs, trim those stray eyebrows and clean up the stray beard hairs. It's always a good idea to shave your neck if you have a beard or the stubble look. This will make your jaw line more defined. Make sure your collars are ironed and shirt is free of pet hair. If you must wear a t-shirt, make sure it looks fresh or new. Lose the undershirt for business shots. No reflective active wear or neon polo shirts. Extra Studio Time: Beyond your package, extra studio time is $200 per 30 minutes.
