FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Do I need to wear makeup that day? YES! Makeup is a necessary part of a polished look!  A well done makeup job will boost confidence which will show in the pictures. And, while a heavy madeup face is rarely what anyone actually wants, it is entirely necessary to enhance your features so you look like YOURSELF in a photo!  I always recommend hiring a professional artist to do your makeup for those special times too so you don't have to worry about it. Even the "no-makeup" look takes makeup and a little extra skill doesn't hurt!

I wear makeup but in photos I feel like I always look like I'm not wearing anything. Why and what can I do to change it? What most people don't realize that the same gorgeous lighting conditions that are great for pictures can also wash you out. Bright awesome light can make a rosy complexion look pallid, a diminish features that seem defined face to face.  Makeup is necessary, in fact more than usual makeup is necessary. Here's the catch: everyone's definition of "natural" or "dramatic" is different, and how you view yourself in a photo is not going to be how everyone else views you.
