Everything you need to know before taking your portrait.
Preparing for your shoot can make a good photo a great one.
We want you to feel fully prepared and completely confident before we begin your session. Here are the questions we hear most often:
For headshot sessions or small team shoots, 1–2 weeks' notice is usually enough. For larger events, brand shoots, or multi-location projects, we recommend booking 4–6 weeks ahead to secure your preferred date.
Yes, we can customize based on your project's needs, whether that be multi-day shoots, video, or post-production.
We require at least 72 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Cancellations or rescheduling requests made with less than 48 hours' notice will incur the full sitting fee.
Individual headshots typically take 15 minutes per person. Environmental portraits and corporate lifestyle shoots usually run 30 minutes per unique setup.
Solid colors generally photograph best — avoid busy patterns, logos, and very bright or neon colors. Business or business-casual attire consistent with your company's dress code works well. We're happy to send a short style guide ahead of the shoot.
An environmental portrait is a posed photo of an employee taken in the office, usually with the background defocused. The subject is looking in the camera and directed by the photographer. A corporate lifestyle shot captures people in action — collaborating in a meeting, working at a whiteboard, or chatting in a hallway — designed to look candid and natural rather than posed. These images are often used on websites, in marketing materials, or in recruiting content to show the culture and energy of a company.
Absolutely — on-site shoots are common for corporate work and help keep the day efficient for your team. Generally, we request that you reserve a conference room, or the like, no smaller than 15 feet by 8 feet. We also offer individual sittings at our LA studio.
Yes, upon request and at an additional cost.
Light retouching (skin smoothing, blemish removal, color correction, and clothing adjustments) is included.
Standard turnaround is 5–7 business days. Rush delivery is available for an additional fee if you're on a tight deadline. Images are delivered via a private online gallery where you can view, download, and share high-resolution files.
Usage rights are outlined in your contract. Typically, clients receive a license to use images for internal and marketing purposes; we retain copyright as the photographer unless a buyout is negotiated. Let us know your intended use so we can structure the right license.
