Book Your Photoshoot

I want you to leave your shoot with a set of images that you will love and to give you an experience you won’t forget. A photo shoot should always be fun, relaxed and enjoyable, no matter if you are a professional or if it is your first time in front of a camera. It is my job to make you feel relaxed and comfortable…. because when you feel good, you will look good.

I cater to most types of portraiture photography, but I specialise in Modelling Portfolios and Actors Headshots You don’t have to be a model to book a photo shoot. Nobody needs a reason or excuse to have some beautiful images of themselves. If you think you will be too nervous to do a shoot, don’t be. You can see how a typical shoot works and you can get some basic photoshoot tips. Here is a short behind the scenes video of my shoot with Miss Ireland 2012 Rebecca Maguire

I now only offer one package that caters to most people’s needs. All packages are for a photo shoot in my Wexford Studio, which is located behind Ballinahoun House B&B. My studio is spacious, relaxed and comfortable. I have the ability to create completely different looks throughout the shoot if required. This means you leave the shoot with a wide range of images that adds variety to your portfolio.

Heavy or smokey eye makeup is not required for headshots as a headshot is about your personality and ability to great a look. A natural look is best for them as that way your headshots reflects how you really look in person. For headshots, you can arrive with the hair and make-up that you are able to do your self. If you were going to a casting, you would do your own hair and makeup anyway, so this way your headshots really reflects on how you look in person.

  2. You aim to arrive at my studio at 9.45am if for a morning shoot ….. (allow time for getting lost 🙂 )
  3. Meet & Greet …… get a tea/ coffee ….. (to wake you up)
  4. Clothes are laid out in prep area and the looks to shoot are picked out and organised ….. (you then realise you brought too much 🙂 )
  5. Make-Up & Hair commences if you booked MUA ….. (you sit back and relax)
  6. 10am Pep talk time….. (getting you in the zone)
