At our studio, we believe every client deserves to feel confident, radiant, and truly seen in their photos. That’s why we offer professional hair and makeup services as part of your photoshoot experience - not just for glam, but for real, impactful reasons that elevate your final images.
Let’s start with the most important part: confidence. When you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, it shows. A little extra polish with professional hair and makeup can help you walk into your session with a boost of self-assurance. That inner confidence translates through the lens, giving your images life, warmth, and authenticity.
Studio lighting is powerful, and intentionally so. It’s designed to highlight your best features and create sharp, stunning images. But here’s the catch: it can also be unforgiving illuminating every detail on our face.
Without enough makeup, natural features can appear flattened or washed out under bright lights. Foundation evens out your skin tone, contouring brings dimension, and eye makeup ensures your expressions shine through in high resolution. Our makeup artists are trained to apply makeup that works specifically for photography, not just everyday wear.
To show this in action, check out our side-by-side photo of Amber. In person, it might look like she’s wearing a full face of makeup, but once the studio lights hit, the makeup appears much softer, almost minimal.
This is a great example of how makeup enhances your best features and keeps you looking fresh and vibrant on camera. And if you’re someone who doesn’t wear makeup regularly - don’t worry! The goal isn’t to change you. It’s simply to help you look and feel your absolute best in a way that works beautifully on camera.
We also sat down with Amber to talk more about this process, and why makeup for photos is different from everyday makeup. Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to watch her video and get a behind-the-scenes look at how we bring this magic to life in the studio.
Makeup for photography isn’t about making you look like someone else - it’s about enhancing what’s already there. Our goal is to bring out your natural beauty so that your photos reflect the very best version of you.
Whether you prefer a soft, natural glow or a bold, editorial style, we tailor every hair and makeup session to suit your vision. We’ll collaborate with you to make sure you feel like yourself, just with a little extra camera-ready magic. It may feel like you are wearing a lot ...but once the bright lights come in, we say about 20% of the makeup is washed out.
Your photoshoot is more than a session - it’s an experience. From the moment you sit in the chair for hair and makeup to the final click of the camera, we’re here to make sure you feel amazing every step of the way. The right look can truly transform the way you see yourself, and that’s the power of makeup.
Our two primary makeup and hair artists are Kristina Nierman and Shannon Pulley. Both are skilled pros at both natural for those that want the "no makeup" look, as well as high glam for those that are comfortable with a bit more.
