STYLING
PROFESSIONAL HAIR + MAKEUP SERVICES
Investing in professional hair and makeup services will provide you with a look that is polished and fresh before your session begins. A professional stylist knows how to bring out your best features and minimize any small imperfections making for a faster and easier retouching phase.
We recommend professional hair and makeup styling for all our adult and teen female clients. For men, we can take care of retouching during post-production eliminating the need for this service for our male clients. But hair styling is available for men who want help with their hair. Tracy’s studio coordinates with the stylists and schedules your appointment for you when you book your session. Once your appointment is scheduled, you will receive an email from Tracy confirming the date and time as well as the location of the stylist’s salon.
Hair and makeup takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, and you will pay your stylist directly. All of the stylists accept major credit cards. My team has extensive experience in photography makeup and hairstyling. The makeup application is customized to your skin type and skin tone. The PRO makeup products have been tested and photographed to reflect natural and true color on camera.

RETOUCHING
POLISHED + PROFESSIONAL DIGITAL IMAGES
In this digital photography age, taking the photos is only half of the process; the second half of the process is post-production where we, as photographers, create the final signature look of the images that we deliver to you, our clients.
While the combination of professional makeup, hair styling and lighting helps to create a polished attractive look, digital images are so mercilessly sharp that even the smallest flaws are not only viewable but also emphasized. It is our policy to provide only the highest quality and professional digital images – images that you are not only proud of but can not wait to share across all your visual marketing platforms – so we will retouch every high-res digital file that leaves our studio, presenting you in the most polished and professional way possible.
