This means that you both show up at the same time, and essentially take turns with makeup and going in and out of different setups for different marketing looks we agree on. There are a few benefits to sharing a headshot session with a friend. The most obvious is the generous discount you both receive, which is double the agency referral discount I offer to single sessions. Aside from that, sharing a session can be fun and helpful with successfully targeting your looks.
The last friend session we did was with Virginia Tran and Stephanie Mazariego. They had so much fun that they wanted to share with you, in their own words, how the experience was helpful to them! Taking headshots can be such a daunting task, especially when you consider how many different options you have out there. But having the relief of that companionship from someone else that is going through the same thing you are makes it less of a solitary experience. Not to mention, more fun!
All of which helped quell the nerves of meeting someone new and of great repute that is about to attempt to capture the best version of you possible! Already, the benefits of the friend session were manifesting themselves, as you are more inclined to be vulnerable and completely truthful with a friend than with a total stranger.
You know what you like and you know what you look like in the clothes you pick, but our own perceptions of ourselves are already skewed. Along the same lines, the whole process also invokes a good bit of friendly, fun competitionβsorta like sibling rivalry, without the diary reading.
You help one another gain the confidence to set high enough standards for yourselves in order to really get the most out of your shots.
