Frequently Asked Questions
How Quickly Will I Get My Photos?
For the Essential Headshot session, we review your images in real-time on my iPad during the session. You’ll make your final selections right in the studio. I typically deliver these photos to the client within three business days.
If you need them more quickly I can offer the same-day delivery for an additional $50.
For the Premier Branding sessions, actor headshots and dating profile sessions, you’ll receive a link to the proofing gallery within three days. Once I receive your final selections, I usually deliver the final photos within three business days.
If I am unable to meet these time frames (e.g. due to travel or illness), I’ll let you know before you leave the studio.
Can You Remove My Wrinkles?
Yes!
Your photo will be retouched according to my standard protocol. This includes:
- Light skin smoothing and removal of blemishes
- Minimizing fine lines and wrinkles around eyes, mouth and neck
- Whitening teeth
- Reducing excess skin around jawline
- Removing hair flyaways
- Smoothing prominent creases in clothing
- Glasses glare removal
Here’s an example of how I retouched my own headshot:

After
Advanced retouching is also available. This can include:
- Removal of scars
- Changing color of clothing
- Adjusting hair color (e.g. touching up dark hair roots)
- Slimming face and/or body
- Braces removal
- Changing the background of the photo
We’ll discuss the level of retouching you’re comfortable as we progress through your session. Please do not hesitate to let me know of any special requests – don’t be shy!
Can I Review My Photos During The Session?
Absolutely!
One of the most valuable benefits I offer is the ability for clients to view their photos in real time during the session. As we move through your poses, the photos are transferred wirelessly from my camera to my iPad. We’ll constantly review your images as we work, giving you a chance to adjust your hair, clothing or expression. You can mark your favorites as we go along.
This process allows you to be a full collaborator in your photo session. There are no surprises. No viewing images on a tiny screen on the back of a camera. Clients almost direct themselves! I get a thumbs up or thumbs down for each image. This makes the session move along quickly and ensures that you are satisfied with the results before you leave the studio.
