Hair & Makeup Assistance

Hair & Makeup Assistance Professional hair and makeup is highly recommended for studio sessions. It ensures an even skin tone, manages shine under studio lights, and provides an extra layer of confidence before you step in front of the lens. How it Works: The Artist: I coordinate with a collective of trusted Sydney-based artists who specialize in natural, "clean" professional looks (not overly glam or editorial). Timing: This service requires an additional 60 minutes of studio time prior to our scheduled shoot. Please select the "Hair & Makeup" add-on when booking to reserve this time. Investment: $350 inc. GST. Payment: To keep the process transparent, payment is made directly to the artist on the day of your session. I do not add a markup; this is a pass-through service to ensure the best possible result for your portraits.
