Want to know what happens Before, During and After Hair and Makeup a Photoshoot?

Jackie Fussell • 29 July 2021

Are you jealous of other peoples facebook profile pictures, or just fancy a lovely experiance or a much needed confidence boost?

Photographs are worth the investment of time and money. If you’ve never had a professional portrait photoshoot before, it can feel intimidating.


I see clients arrive for their photoshoot full of nerves and  insecurities.  Having your hair and makeup done soon makes you feel relaxed and more confident, and ready to face the camera!  Most photographers want their clients to enjoy their experiance and capture you having fun - instead of asking you to pose awkwardly.


At the end of the photoshoot you will end up with some amazing images which let your real beauty and personality shine.   They can also make a great gift, I'm sure your partner or parents would love a mug with your face on (I love a photo mug!).

We all have good phones with great cameras we can take selfies with, but a professional photographer will show you how to hold yourself and get the right position to show you at your best with instagram worthy photos.


Setting up your own business?


Professional headshots are a great way to create a personal and professional image for your website.

One of my oldest clients (who's been having her summer pedicure with me since I started my business) was setting up her business as a life coach and I was honoured when she asked me to do the hair and makeup for the shoot, Pamela said:


"I knew I needed some photographs for my new business, and as someone who doesn’t love getting my photo taken I wanted to make sure I looked my best! I didn’t hesitate in asking Jackie to help - she’s looked after me for years, and did my wedding hair and makeup for me too. I was thrilled with the results and can highly recommend her.”

You will be spoilt for choice looking for a photoshoot, as there are lots of photographers that offer location photoshoots, smaller intimate portrait studios to large makeover studio offering business, vintage to boudoir experiences.


When I was working in Clifton Photography Studio I was asked to step in to pretend to me a client, to try out a new photographer.  Although I didn't have time to plan my outfit I was so happy with the results I am using the image on my website about page too!
