You finally booked your professional photo shoot, hurray! Whether it’s a corporate headshot, epic high school senior session, family portrait, or maternity snaps, we’re delighted you took the time to schedule this experience for yourself.
The one thing that all of these photo shoots have in common is their potential to be elevated by the expertise of a professional hair and makeup artist.
Even if you’re super confident in your own styling prowess, there’s nothing quite as beneficial as a bonafide hair and makeup guru on site. And you’re going to love who we have on our team!
Meet Samantha Couillard, Catch Your Vibe Photography’s in-house professional hair and makeup artist. We love partnering with her on projects, whether in the studio or on location.
Aside from the fact that she’s awesome, why else is it worth investing in professional hair and makeup styling for your next shoot?
Let’s start with these seven reasons…
How Hiring a Professional NH Hair and Makeup Artist is the Flex You Think it is
#1 Your Best Face Forward
When you sit in front of a professional hair and makeup artist, you position yourself before someone who is expert at evaluating your features and knowing instantly how to accentuate them. This may seem like an obvious reason, but it’s worth noting that professionals like Sam are used to observing facial features from a different standpoint as the rest of us. They know how to enhance your most attractive details, downplay any issues, and help you present your very best face forward.
#2 Pro Products Perform Better in Pro Photos…
Even if you shell out for some seriously expensive skincare or makeup products, they still might not be up to par for strong studio lighting. Rather than risk looking shiny, washed out, or cakey, trust a professional makeup artist to provide the right products that hold up under these intense lights.
#3 …And Require Minimal Retouching
With pro tools and products, you shouldn’t need to reapply lipstick, deal with flakey mascara, or reach for another shot of hairspray. This leads to our next point, re: effort and time savings.
#4 Go Pro: Protect Your Time and Energy
Rather than stress the details of your makeup application or errant flyaways after you’ve struggled to style your hair, leave it all in capable, confident hands of a professional makeup artist. Doing so will save you time, energy, and anxiety! Win, win, win.
#5 Align Your Look with the Shoot, Successfully
Depending on the type of shoot, you want to ensure your look aligns. Whether it’s corporate, family, maternity, or fine art, your makeup and hair really should match the occasion.
#6 Weatherproof Your Look
This is especially important if you’re considering an outdoors shoot. Once again, professional grade products, and a professional who knows how to apply them, will last a lot longer for better results, regardless of the weather conditions or length of your session.
#7 Kick Your Confidence Up a Notch
Not only is having your hair and makeup handled by a professional typically a very relaxing experience, it should also kick your confidence up a notch or two because nothing is left to chance. You’re in good hands and will undoubtedly feel more at ease and camera-ready, which is usually reflected in more natural, yet radiant smiles that reflect your true vibe.
Consider booking Sam for your next photo shoot with the Catch Your Vibe Photography team and treat yourself to all the perks a professional hair and makeup artist can provide.
