Guess What? Our New Beauty &  Headshot Service is in Beta! 🎉

Austin, TX headshots + Makeup and Hair

I'm super excited to announce that our all-in-one beauty and headshot service is now in beta! That means you're among the first to experience this unique offering. We're still fine-tuning everything to make it absolutely perfect, and we'd love to have you join us on this journey.

Who is this for?

  • Regular Photo Updates: Quarterly Refreshes. Ideal for those who need periodic updates to their photos for profiles and more, ensuring their images always represent the current them.
  • Dating App Users: Professional makeup and hair and photos? This is a fun one for me! Let's create an attractive and authentic dating profile with photos that capture your personality and charm.
  • Just Because! Sometimes, you don't need a special occasion to treat yourself. Whether it's to boost your self-confidence, celebrate a personal milestone, or simply enjoy a little self-care, our Just Because! sessions are perfect for those spontaneous moments when you decide to invest in yourself.

I've been there—needing just a few updated headshots without the commitment (or cost) of a full-blown photoshoot. Whether it's for quarterly updates to your business or dating profile, freshening up your social media, or adding new content to your website, sometimes all you need are a few professional shots to keep things current.

I wasn't always looking for a full lifestyle shoot or a massive photo package. I wanted something simple: mini sessions with hair and makeup, light editing, and a professional touch that wouldn't drain my small business funds!

And here's the good news: I've been taking headshot photos of my amazing clients for years (among working with many talented photographers)! Combining my passion for beauty and photography, I know exactly how to make you look and feel your best. With my experience, you can trust that you're in good hands.

That's why I created this service—to offer affordable, quality mini sessions that give you exactly what you need without the hefty price tag. Because keeping your image fresh and professional shouldn't be a luxury—it should be accessible to everyone.

FAQ

what you really want to know

Remember, this service is designed to be a fun, easy, and affordable way to get beautiful headshots without the fuss of a full-scale photoshoot. If you have any other questions or specific needs, don't hesitate to reach out!

Q: What is this shoot not?
A: To keep things transparent, here's what this shoot is not:

  • Not a Full-Scale Photoshoot: This isn't a lengthy, multi-location session with numerous outfit changes. It's a quick and efficient mini session focused on giving you a few beautiful headshots.

  • Not a High-Fashion Editorial Shoot: We're all about natural, authentic images—think relaxed and real, not runway.

  • No Extensive Retouching: While I do light editing to enhance your photos, I don't offer heavy retouching or major alterations to your appearance. You're already fabulous as you are!

  • Not a Replacement for Full Branding Sessions: If you're looking for an in-depth branding photoshoot with multiple concepts and detailed planning, this might not be the perfect fit.

  • Not a Large Team Production: It's just you and me! This is a personal, one-on-one experience without a big crew or intimidating studio setup.

My makeup consultation was so much fun. Heather is delightful and very knowledgeable.   She is a great instructor, passing along her experienced wisdom/technique in a way that I can easily understand and feel ready to reproduce on my own with some home practice. We also shopped together for products. This was a HUGE help to me and she was mindful of expense and my own comfort level. Another great thing about her sessions is the detailed description, lists, and recommendations she provides via email.  

She created a new look for me that made me feel energized and more like myself today.

I love animals, and I think it’s an atrocity that 500,000 animals are harmed and killed each year for the sake of cosmetics testing. This does not have to happen. 

That’s why all of the makeup I use is cruelty-free. Always.
