Thank you so much for booking SugaShoc Photography for your Headshot/Branding Session. We hope this will be an experience you will forever cherish.
Come join a group of fabulous women in my private Facebook group by clicking on the button below:
For your consultation call, please look up some images that you are drawn to for your session. Any screenshots taken from my website, blog, Instagram or Facebook will work. Pinterest is also a great resource. It doesn't have to be my images either. If you see something you love, screenshot it and send it to me! I would love to help you create the headshot session of your dreams!
When you arrive, we will take a look at all the things you have brought and I will then design the session according to your style. At this time, you can show me which outfits you definitely want to be photographed in and which ones are optional. We will work through each outfit by order of importance.
If you are getting your hair & makeup done, please follow the following:
PHOTO: To help us plan your session better, please email us recent phone snapshots of yourself.
INSPIRATION: To help better execute your desired style in a timely manner, please have photos/ideas of makeup & hairstyles desired (choose images of models with similar hair, eye coloring and skin tone as you)
ALLERGIES: Please notify me as soon as possible if you have any allergies or product sensitivities.
FACE: Please come with your face makeup free. Please do not apply any kind of sunscreen on your face. Moisturizer is ok as long as it does not contain SPF.
HAIR: Your hair must be clean and completely dry. Please wash & dry your hair the day before your session. Your hairstyle will not stay if your hair is not clean.
NAILS: Please have your fingernails and toenails manicured in either a french tip style or a classic color. Please try and stick with tones in nudes, pinks, or reds. Whichever you feel suits your style the best.
WAXING/SHAVING: If you will be waxing or shaving, please do so at least 24-48 hours before your session so as to avoid any red marks or irritation.
SPRAY TAN: I do not recommend a spray tan as most spray tan places leave you with orange hands or feet and I cannot Photoshop out orange skin, so please consider that when booking a spray tan. If you are looking to do a spray tan to minimize tan lines, please book with Bella Sorrel before your session. Let them know when your session is and they can advise you when to book. I only recommend using them because they do it by hand, and the results are more natural.
OUTFITS: Please bring any of the following pieces of clothing to your session:
- Your favorite suits. Jackets, pants, or skirts.
- Casual clothing for a more relaxed look.
- Beware of satin or shiny finishes, and bright neon colors as clothing with those materials and colors do not look good in camera. I do love black, but I do love color too! Blues, greens, pinks, etc. Anything that complements your skin tone will look fabulous. Jewel tones photograph beautifully. Dark greens, dark blues, maroons, dark reds, etc.
- Please bring a few different suit options.
- Different color shirt options will help so we can play around with the different backdrop options.
- Please remember cuff links if you wear them.
- Bring several options for ties if you wear them.
- Bring different belt options & matching shoe options as well so we can mix and match.
- Please bring nude seamless bras & underwear so it can go with any outfit.
- Nude seamless strapless bras and nude seamless thongs are also essential to wear underneath studio wardrobe if desired.
- Stockings - only if you wear them regularly.
- Plain white, black, navy, grey tops if you have them.
- Bring neutrals and also colors so we can mix and match.
- Favorite pair of jeans.
- Bodysuits.
- Sweaters.
- Cropped tops.
- Favorite Leather jacket.
- Favorite Jean jacket
- Loose T-shirts, sweatshirts, or sweaters, so you can drop one side down to reveal a shoulder.
- Your favorite dresses, shirts, skirts, shorts, pants, etc.
- Please feel free to bring in any of your heels or boots. They can be fun to incorporate!
- Any fun jewelry or accessories like hats or scarves.
Immediately following your session, please allow about 30mins to an hour for your ordering session. You will be able to view your images and purchase the digitals and products of your dreams!
Please bring either cash, check, Venmo, or a credit card to your session.
