A.To put it simply, YES. Would you go to the Oscars without the right hair, makeup, and clothes?

Look, you’re trying to make a good impression and even the most minor skin blemishes can become very obvious when shooting in HD. It’s much less expensive to use a good makeup artist than to pay for more costly retouching after the shoot. At Bella Saville Photography, you are never required to have your hair/makeup professionally done. I do, however, highly recommend it to get the best variety of looks for your headshots. Our approved recommended team of hair and makeup artists at Bella Saville Photography are veterans in their field, having worked on large budget TV and Film projects, high profile clients, and many are agency represented. Every photo on my website has had a professional hair and makeup artist present, yet the outcome is fresh and very natural looking. When you’re booked on a professional TV, film, commercial, or print set, there will always be a professional hair and makeup artist. If not booking one of our artists you will need to come fully hair and makeup ready. Please check our covid healthy page for current safety policies. For the unlimited package, we start at five hair & makeup looks and $25 for each change after. For the youth package, we start at a 4 hair and makeup look and $25 for each change after.

A.A “look” is considered a wardrobe and hair/makeup change, along with lighting and background. With each look, you may want to alter your clothing and hair style slightly such as adding a jacket or accessorizing.

A.At Bella Saville Photography, we provide some of the best hair and makeup artists available in the Los Angeles area; they are experts at highlighting what already makes you unique and are able to emphasis those qualities that can differentiate you from your competitors. When you come to have your headshots done with our team, your goal is to capture yourself looking your best. Unless you are trained in doing makeup and hair specifically for high definition photography, you will not have the skill set to get skin tones correct. Doing your hair and makeup for photos and camera is extremely different from everyday street makeup and hair. I also make sure my artists are on set for the entire length of your shoot, assuring you that any touch ups, changes, and restyling can be done.

A.On the day of your photo shoot, we want to make the most of our time so preparation is incredibly important to ensure that we get the looks you need the first time. You will receive a one on one personal styling and image consultation ahead of the day of your photo session. We also include a free personalized wardrobe and multi page styling guide customized for each individual client with extensive photo references, along with a shopping guide. Additionally, we will look through any previous material that you have and send you a detailed prep list the night before your scheduled photo shoot. Our goal is to provide you with accurate headshots that represent the real you…it’s your best marketing tool and the one the casting departments will look at first. At the studio we provide a changing room, makeup station, beverages, clothing rack, and more so you can stay organized and calm.

A.Bella Saville Photography shoots in a controlled natural light studio, so no weather ever affects your shoot and we have full control of light, backgrounds, and temperature. All sessions are shot in an air-conditioned studio with professional, natural lighting, as well as studio lighting, and a variety of backgrounds so we get the best of both worlds.

A.Photographs are artistic creations. Interpretation of artistic creations is extremely subjective. Because of this, there are no re-shoots or refunds. I always ask my clients to be upfront and honest with me and to to speak up if they’d like us to change something.

Sometimes something comes up, so rescheduling is allowed one time as long as you give us at least 7 full business days notice. Business days are Monday – Friday. Rescheduling 6-business days or less is considered a cancellation and your holding retainer fee ($150) is forfeited plus any additional cancellation fees for Hmua. If you do reschedule, your rescheduled appointment must be within 3 months of your original session date, and you may only transfer the deposit once and will need to pay the remainder of your shoot upfront. All deposits expire after one year. Within the 7 business days payment is required in full and remainder will transfer over to new date. If re-scheduling within 6 days and booking hmua, additional cancellation fees may apply. For those who contact Covid-19, or have proof that they booked an acting job or have a non-moveable theatrical callback, please let us know as we have a relaxed and extended reschedule policy.

A “no show” (client does not show up at the scheduled time, and has not given notification at least four full business day before shoot) will be charged the entire shoot amount and makeup fee (if makeup artist was booked).

A.We are based in Los Angeles in Studio City and are rated the top Studio City photographer. We do travel for larger shoots and events upon request and availability. Please email us for additional questions.
