Over the years I have photographed many High School Seniors, families and headshot clients. I have seen a wide variety of styles, some casual and natural, whilst others opt for a more glamorous look.
Whatever your style and the look you'd like to achieve for your photo session a professional makeup artist will be able to create your vision. Even if you are not used to wearing makeup they will put you at ease and create a look that will be exactly right.
It is such a HUGE confidence booster.
When you consider the images will be treasured for many years to come it makes so much sense to head into the session looking and feeling WOW!
You may be thinking:
"I do not usually wear makeup and so do not want to look different"
"I do not want to look caked in makeup and fake"
"I want to be myself and not superficial"
"I am not a girly girl"
"I can do my own makeup and it looks fine"
"I do not think it is worth the money, I am already spending money on the session"
Your photo session is all about YOU and I want to be able to capture you looking and feeling confident and relaxed. I want you to look back on the images I create and LOVE them. Having makeup professionally applied will be a huge step in gaining a level of confidence you would not experience otherwise.
I recently added professional makeup as an add on to my sessions. I am delighted to be partnering with Sara Sampiao, of Sara's Skin Spa in Sleepy Hollow.
Working with Sara is a dream come true. She has the amazing ability of making even the most shy, apprehensive client feel completely at ease; heading into their photo session with their head held high, feeling on top of the world. What better way to start your photo session? Whether it is a senior shoot, family mini, headshot or branding session I urge you to consider booking a makeup appointment with Sara. I am certain you will be glad you did.
Your images are going to be shared and admired by many. Be proud of them.
1. You don’t wear makeup often, you may not be able to do your makeup or there is a unique look you want to try that you can’t pull off on your own
Maybe you’re like me – you don’t do your makeup, or you really have no idea how to create a look that matches perfectly with the outfit you have planned. Professionals have creative intuition to help you achieve the style you like! You can bring inspiration photos for them to work with, too. You’ll feel so much better when someone nails exactly what you dreamed up!
2. You have problematic skin or have felt self-conscious or critical of your skin in pictures before
If you have ANY sort of skin issues, at minimum you should let a makeup artist help you get smooth, clear skin for your photo session. Acne, red blotchy skin, dry skin, big pores – makeup professionals can work their magic so you feel less self-conscious about your skin. Makeup is NOT just for “girly girls,” consider your skin and how you want it to look.
3. Try something new and learn from an expert!
Whether you do your makeup all the time or you really don’t think it’s for you, having someone else do a unique look or elevate something you’ve already tried is a fun way to mix things up. You might learn about better ways to apply your makeup, or new products that work well with your skin from an industry expert!
4. Put your best face forward
Would you go to prom without getting makeup done? Probably not! You know that prom is all about looking your best, taking selfies and photos with your friends, and your senior portrait session is the same! These pics will be on social media, in a treasured photo album, the walls of your home, on graduation announcements, and more. Make sure you are proud of the way you look!
