A ”look” is an outfit change and/or lighting or background change to achieve a different style or feel. Minor changes like adding or subtracting a jacket or glasses does not count as a separate “look”.

It essentially boils down to dressing as the best version of yourself and what makes you feel comfortable and confident. Whether you're getting ready for an important meeting with a big client or getting together with a friend for drinks at a trendy LA hotspot. Your headshot is a representation of you.

Generally, I suggest avoiding loud prints or patterns. Solid colors, simple cuts, and tasteful layers work best.

Regardless of session type, I recommend bringing a few backup options and varieties to your session.

Actors, bring a variety of styles based on what you would realistically be cast as for your character-type and age-range. Study similar characters in movies, commercials, and/or TV shows and see what they wear. Buy the same outfits and you won't have a problem. Even if you’re only shooting one look, bring a few options.

Professionals, bring a variety of styles. It depends on what industry you’re in and how you want to be portrayed in your headshot. We’ll discuss details and outfit choices prior to your shoot.

The length of a headshot session varies based on three main factors: hair and makeup, how many looks we’re shooting, and how comfortable you are in front a camera. For the average person, there is generally a 10-20 minute warmup period when they start to relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera. For actors, models, and anyone familiar with being front of a camera, this isn’t a problem. The first look is generally the longest. Though my rates aren’t based on the length of a session, this is a general guide as what to expect:

1 LOOK: 45 min (± 15 min)
2 LOOKS: 1 hour (± 30 min)
3 LOOKS: 1.5 hours (± 30 min)
4 LOOKS: 2 hours (± 30 hr)

*Corporate portrait sessions on location are generally 10-15 minutes per employee. Principles and executives are generally between 20-30 minutes each.

YES. Having a makeup artist that knows how to style for headshot photography is invaluable. Saving money by not hiring a makeup artist could potentially end up costing you more if you need to retake your headshots with a makeup artist. Invest in a makeup artist, you’ll thank yourself when you get the final product. This mostly applies more for women, but men benefit as well.

My recommendations are:

Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist: Kayti Pillor
Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist: Cheyenne Johnson
Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist: Niki Rae

*If booking a hair and makeup artist for your session, please coordinate and perform services with them prior to your session time.

To book a headshot session, there is a $100 non-refundable deposit. The deposit is applied towards the session. Deposits are payable online at: www.typierce.com/deposit

All other shoots vary. Please contact for details.

Every client receives a personal proofing gallery emailed to them within 24 hours of their session, generally same-day. Your gallery is securely hosted on my website and is always accessible. Currently, there is no time limit for how long your gallery is accessible. I do not charge "re-upload" or "storage" fees for your gallery.

If your name is John Smith, your personal client link will look something like this: www.typierce.com/johnsmith

If John Smith's session was on 01/20/22 then their session gallery will look something like this: www.typierce.com/johnsmith/12022

You get hi-res and lo-res versions of the final retouched images included in your session, not the RAW/original images. If you would like all of the original images from the session, you have the option to purchase them in JPEG format for an additional $250.

The reason I do not include the RAW/original images is because they are incomplete. Like most people, I do not want incomplete images being used, posted, or represented as my final work. Retouching is the final process that completes, enhances, and brings the overall image together and gives it its signature look. Additional retouches can be purchased for $50/ea.

If you need to cancel or reschedule your session, please let us know as soon as possible.

You have 30 days from the original session date to reschedule and shoot your rescheduled session, subject to availability. If the rescheduled session falls outside of 30 days from the original session date a new deposit must be paid to schedule a new session.

General headshots: Optional. Everything is shot in my studio in Newbury Park but will travel for an additional fee.
