When you book in for any of my photoshoots, you will notice that I recommend getting professional hair & makeup done. Whether you are having a family, newborn, or maternity photoshoot, professional hair and makeup can make a huge difference to the final images. Makeup can help to accentuate features, contouring the face. Lipstick & eye shadow colours can complement and emphasize the colours in your clothing. Makeup also helps to remove any shiny spots, particularly on oily skin which otherwise could be highlighted in a photograph. Hairstyling helps to emphasis the overall mood of the shoot. For example, a precise up-do for a more formal style, or loose plaits for something more casual. Professional hairstyling also helps to lessen the number of flyaway hairs, that while not so obvious in everyday life can often show up very noticeably in photographs. Its important to work with good makeup artists who use quality products, and have great attention to detail.

You may not consider a makeup artist and hair stylist for a baby photoshoot, but I’ve found new mums, often quite exhausted love to be pampered for their newborn photoshoot so they have a lovely photo with their newborn. One of my fellow photographers who also appreciates the value that hair & makeup artists add to photography sessions is newborn photographer Louise Ferguson from the UK.
