Headshot Info

The following information is for in-studio actors’ headshots and social media portraits. For all other commissions or headshot pricing, please contact us via email.

STUDIO HEADSHOTS

The way you visually present yourself is a critical component of your online identity. For people who don’t know you, it’s your best chance to make a strong impression. For established relationships, it’s a powerful way to reconnect and stay current.

TEAMWORK

In addition to working with a seasoned photographer, your session will include an art director skilled in clothing/backdrop coordination. We also shoot directly to computer and usually go through the images and quickly rate them, making sure we have captured that look before moving on. After the session, within 2 days, we will deliver an online web gallery (via Dropbox) of all images rated as 1 or more stars.

PRE-SESSION

Before each session, there is the option of booking a one-hour pre-session meeting (for a nominal fee) to discuss your objectives, as well as do test shots to see if clothing options, etc. are working. Some people, however, prefer to do everything in one (session) day, so whatever works best for you. Over the years we have found that clothing will often make or break the shot, so please put some thought into clothing before the pre-session and come prepared.

HAIR AND MAKEUP/GROOMING

Fees are paid directly to the makeup artist who will be on set for the duration of the session.  You are also free to book a makeup artist of your choosing. For women especially, we find that this is usually well worth the investment. Please allow a week in advance so that we can get the talent we trust for your session.

DELIVERY

Once you’ve made your selects, we will send the retouched high-resolution master files, colour-corrected, and ready for online posting or printing. (note: retouching up to one hour per image) Any extra advanced retouching will be billed at an hourly rate.

CANCELLATIONS

We understand that occasionally things can come up and it may be necessary to postpone. If so, please let us know ASAP and we will reschedule.

USAGE

You are free to use the images for all of your promotional, social media, and personal needs. For any paid third-party use that you approve, please have the publication, etc. contact us directly and we will provide the image that they require. All other rights reserved. Hill Peppard Photography retains the copyright to the images.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: We do reply to all email inquiries, usually within a few hours. If you don’t hear back from us within 24 hours, check your junk/spam folder. Thanks!
