NOVEMBER 2024 SPECIAL!! $725 $425
HAIR / MAKEUP:
For the shoot, we'll need a hair & makeup artist on set. Below is a list of the HMUAs I prefer to work with. Take a look at their work and let me know which artist you'd like to have on set and negotiate a rate with them. Once you select one of them, I'll coordinate with them about scheduling the shoot. (Note: You'll pay the HMUA directly.)
Preferred Hair & Makeup Artists:
Christin Cook @christincookzitobeauty
Katie Galliher @katiegalliher
Lauren Martinez @laurendaniellemua
Morgan Jae @morganjaebeauty
WARDROBE STYLING:
Depending on the looks you want to capture, we might need wardrobe styling. A good option for beauty test shoots is to style it yourself by using your moodboard as a reference. If you want me to style the shoot, it's $250 (note: I only style very simple looks and this requires 2 weeks lead time). If you want to work with a wardrobe stylist, below is a list of stylists that I recommend who you can contact for their rates.
Preferred Stylists
Olivia Rose Mobley @oliviarosestyling
Taylor Richardson @styledbyleightaylor
Note: If you choose to style the shoot yourself, be aware that old, worn out clothing that's been washed a bunch of times in your closet doesn't photograph well. I recommend buying a few fresh, new clothing items from Zara (or equivalent) and then returning them after the shoot if you want.
NEXT STEPS
Step 1: Book Your Shoot & Your Team
Book your shoot by coordinating a date/time with me via email and selecting a hair/makeup artist.
Step 2: Moodboard
Send me your moodboard at least 1 week in advance of the shoot (or 2 weeks if you want me to style it). Include 3-4 different looks.
Step 3: Prepare
I will send a call sheet with how to prepare your hair, skin, and nails for the shoot.
Step 3: Create!
On the day of the shoot, we’ll make the magic happen!
Step 4: Retouch & Deliver
The images from your shoot will be posted in a private online gallery within 7 business days of the shoot date. Once you select the images you want, the final retouched images will be delivered in 2-3 weeks.
BY BOOKING THIS SHOOT, YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING:
* To provide a moodboard to Photographer at least 1 week in advance of the shoot.
* To bring any wardrobe/jewelry items to the shoot that you need to create the look you want if you're not using a stylist (keep in mind that brand-new, high quality clothing/jewelry pieces work best for photography)
* To inform Photographer if you are sick before the shoot because we may need to reschedule (let's keep everyone safe at the shoot!)
* Photographer, in her sole artistic discretion, decides which images taken will be presented in gallery; not all images taken during the shoot will be presented or available for retouching.
* Non-retouched photos will not be released
* Full payment is required to book the shoot.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
Photographer may reschedule the photoshoot due to Photographer's illness and will work with Model to reschedule photoshoot as soon as possible. If Model needs to reschedule, he/she will do his/her best to notify Photographer at least 48 hours prior to the photoshoot, or as soon as possible. If Model gives more than 48 hours notice about rescheduling, the paid fee can be transferred to another day and time upon the rescheduling of the photoshoot, so long as the rescheduled photoshoot takes place within 60 days of original photoshoot date, otherwise any fee paid will be forfeit. If Model gives less than 48 hours notice about rescheduling, she understands that there may be an additional fee involved to reschedule the photoshoot to another date. If the Model cancels the photoshoot for any reason and does not reschedule with 60 days, any fee paid will be forfeit.
