Where do we start?

The Art of the Process

Consultation Investment Booking

Pre-shoot Chat and Planning
Getting to Know You
A No-Pressure Chat: We start with a relaxed conversation on Zoom, to see if we are a match. You’ll share your goals and what you’re looking for, I talk through how I work, show examples and all the details like pricing, so there are no surprises later. If it feels like we’re a good fit, we’ll lock in a date. Easy, right?

Once your date’s set, we move on to the fun part – planning your shoot! We’ll work together on a mood board that captures your casting type best. I’ll guide you through outfit choices and styling. It’s all about making sure you feel prepared and excited, not overwhelmed.

01.
The Photoshoot
Your Best Self
When shoot day arrives, it’s all about you. With a relaxed, guided session, we’ll explore different lighting setups and wardrobe changes to showcase every side of your casting type. You’ll feel comfortable with just the right amount of direction to bring out your best expressions and poses.

No need to worry about how you look or if you’re “doing it right.” We’ll make sure every photo feels authentic, with just the right touch of polish to make you stand out. I’m here to guide you gently. And yes, there will be snacks to keep the energy up!

02.
After the Shoot
Pick Your Best Shots
After the shoot, it’s time to choose your favourites. I’ll help you pick the ones that really capture your casting type personality and have the strongest connection. Once you’ve decided, I’ll take care of the edits, keeping everything natural yet professional.

Discover What Works: This stage is all about learning what angles and expressions suit you best. It’s more than just picking photos—it’s about refining your brand and seeing yourself in a whole new light.

03.

We've Got Your Back!
We’re Not Done Yet
Quick and Easy Access: Once your headshots are ready, you’ll get them delivered via Dropbox in all the formats you need for casting platforms and social platforms of your choice. It’s all about making sure you’re ready to seize those opportunities with no hassle.

I’ll keep in touch to see how your headshots are working for you and offer any extra support you might need. You’re not just a client—you’re part of the Atelier 2.5 family, and I’m here to help you succeed.
