What To Expect

Here’s the rundown of how you can expect your headshot session to go when you book with me.

  • You’ll submit an inquiry and we’ll discuss the date/time that works for us both. From there, you’ll lock in your session by paying a $75 deposit that goes towards your session. AfterPay is also available to book now and pay later. The deposit is due within 48 hours to officially confirm the date.

    At this point, let me know if you’re interested in hiring my MUA Hannah Pendergrass or if you’ll work with someone else/do your own.

  • You’ll receive my Headshot Prep + Styling Guide to be prepared for your shoot. It includes all the info, but I also offer consultations if you want to chat with me directly beforehand. Whether we’ve met before or are strangers, I want to ensure your headshot session is everything you’ve planned for!

    Don’t feel like doing a consultation? - no worries! I’ll see you on the day. Just be sure to read the Prep Guide.

  • At the beginning of your session, we will go over your outfit options and I will set up the backdrops and lighting according to each look. I help with poses, we play the music you like, and take lots of headshots.

  • You’ll receive an email with your unedited web-size proof images within 7 days of your shoot. Your package comes with a set amount of retouched images. Additonals are $15/each.

    After you’re done picking out your new headshots, I’ll send them back to you within 2 weeks. They will be optimized for web and/or print use.

FAQ

  • Where do you shoot/do you shoot natural light?

    All headshot sessions are done at my studio in Doraville. I don’t do outside sessions so you won’t have to worry about the weather (rain, cold, heat, wind) during your shoot. All lighting is done with professional lights in the studio.

  • What's considered a look?

    A look is an outfit or background change. You can add or remove a jacket/layer a part of 1 look.

  • What's the deposit?

    Non-refundable $75

  • When do I receive my headshots?

    You’ll receive your unedited images within 7 days of your shoot. Retouched images are sent back within 2 weeks of you deciding which images you want.

    Rush Delivery (2-3 days) is $100.

  • What if I want extra edits?

    Extra edits are $20/image. Proofs and final edits are online for 3 months post-shoot. You must request within 3-month timeframe of your shoot. I do not store images after the expiration date.

  • How long do I have to choose my photos?

    Delivered photos and proofs are online for 3 months post-session. You must let me know within that timeframe. After that, they will be unavailable.

  • Do you help with styling?

    Outfits are from your wardrobe and I can give feedback on your outfits based on the looks/characters you’re going for. Headshots should be a collaborative effort and reflect you.

  • Are you LGBTQ friendly?

    Yes! All are welcome.

  • Do you only do actor headshots?

    No! While this website is specifically tailored to actors, I do all types of photography from commercial branding, weddings, and events. Visit www.shotbykynder.com for my main portfolio.

  • What if I'm not an actor and want headshots?

    If you’re not an actor, you can still get headshots that are unique and fun!

  • Do you have an MUA?

    Hannah Pendergrass is my studio's preferred makeup artist, but you’r welcome to hire whoever you choose. If you’re having makeup done at the studio, you must give notice before your headshot session to allocate enough time in my schedule.

    I can give other suggestions but you are responsible for coordinating with them.

  • What's the cancellation policy?

    I understand things happen! Please let me know as soon as possible if there are any schedule changes to respect my time and other appointments. There is a 15 minute grace period. Clients more than 15 minutes late without notice will forfeit their deposit and will have to make a new appointment. If you give notice of any changes more than 48 hours ahead of time, we can reschedule your session to a future date. If you cancel within 48 hours, your deposit is forfeited and you will need to rebook for a future date.

  • Do you give refunds?

    Refunds are not offered unless there is a technical issue. The prep guide and pre-shoot consultations are designed to give you a clear vision of what to expect. Refunds are not offered for makeup/hair/outfit/composition/editing dissatisfaction.

  • Do you offer payment plans?

    Yes! Book now, pay later payment plans are avalable with a 6% fee through AfterPay. There are 6 and 12 month options to pay over time.
