An Exclusive Headshot Event: May 2016 | Business Professionals + Models & Actors | Twin Cities Headshot Photographer Minneapolis St Paul

Announcing...

An Exclusive Headshot Event -- May 10th, 13th, & 24th 2016


  • Whether you're a Twin Cities business person or a local model / actor, your image is directly related to your success.   An outdated or uninspiring headshot can turn a potential client or casting director away.  While an eye-catching headshot is truly a money-magnet.
  • Let your approachability, creativity, talent, or expertise shine.  You invest in your marketing, equipment, and even the clothes you wear -- now invest in your image, be the face of your brand, and watch the return follow!
  • We want your business or talent career to be all the buzz, and will do whatever we can to help make that happen.  Using our combined backgrounds in marketing, fashion, communication, and business, we can custom style your shoot to get you exactly what you need!  
  • This is way more than a headshot -- it's a branding investment.  We believe in you! 




So how does this headshot event work?

  • You book your session online HERE
  • Each session includes one outfit, on one backdrop  (you can add a second outfit / backdrop for a $40 upgrade; just select "two outfits" you book)
  • Each session includes approximately 10-15 minutes of prep-time (with Char's wardrobe advice as necessary) and approximately 30 minutes of shooting time
  • $10 from every session will go to Charity:Water to help raise funds for clean water in developing countries!

How will you know what kind of headshot I need?

  • Each session will be shot with your industry / brand in mind.
  • A mini consult questionnaire is included on your booking form so we can get to know you!



Can I get multiple images from the session?  What if I want to add some styled branding or product shots too?

  • These sessions are short & sweet, but we promise they won't feel rushed! We will take the time to get to know you and talk through your vision.  We can do amazing things in our time range!  
  • One final, fully retouched image, comes with each session -- but you can affordably add more after the fact.  Want to try some fun ideas?  Let's do it!
  • Char will help with wardrobe decisions as necessary -- feel free to bring multiple options. We'll help you look amazing!
  • Want to tell the story of your business or interact with your product?  Bring relevant props along and we'll make it happen!  If you like them in the end, you can add them on; if not, no biggie!  Let's make the most of this opportunity for you.














What is the headshot rate?

  • These SPECIAL-EVENT SESSIONS are being offered at the affordable rate of just $129 (instead of the regular rate of $235)
  • BONUSES: you'll receive a $30 Gift Certificate to Feather Blue Studios for a future photography session, and perks and freebies from our Event Sponsors (see below)
  • $10 from each session goes directly to making a real difference in the world via our fundraising partner Charity:Water!

What if I don't know what to wear?

We've got you covered.  In addition to offering several pinterest boards for guidance (provided with your confirmation email), we welcome you to bring multiple outfits / accessories along, and the amazing Char of Char Style and Image will help you finalize your outfit!  Each session will allow 10 minutes of prep time before we start your shoot (so allow about 45 minutes total).  Still worried?  Book a wardrobe-consult with Char ahead of time and let her help you select clothing that will be perfect for your session.


What if I'm not looking my best yet, or want to lose a little weight first, or just hate getting my picture taken?

  • We're sensitive to the fact that you're not always feeling like the best-you, and keep that in mind as we work to get the most flattering poses and use lighting custom to each individual.  
  • We walk you through each pose, so there's nothing intimidating about it. Come and relax.
  • Sure, you can always wait until you're feeling more up for it, but in the meantime, what are your clients or agents seeing?  Why not put your best first-impression out there right now.
  • Your final selection is skillfully retouched (in a natural way) to assure you look your very best!  
  • And... your session comes with a bonus gift of a $30 certificate toward a future shoot, so you will have already started saving toward your next session if you want to update your headshot options.

I'd like to do a headshot session, but I just can't afford it right now...

Do you invest in marketing tools, occasional advertising, or even a new wardrobe item here and there to meet a client or go on a new audition?  Sure you do.  Because your visual impressions matter.  The questions isn't whether you can afford a new headshot right now, it's "How much money are you NOT making because you don't have an eye-catching headshot?"  Visuals make the world go round.  Visuals are why you started reading this in the first place.  How many new clients would it take to cover the investment of your headshot... 1, 2, 3?  Add eye-catching imagery to your website or marketing pieces, and you'll draw like-minded clients your way!  Watch your opportunities expand...

Where is this headshot event taking place again?

Feather Blue Studios is located in the beautiful Como Park Area of St Paul, MN -- directions and details will be included once you book.  These sessions are shot in-studio.  Parking is easy.  Shannon has been shooting out of her cozy studio space for 11+ years.
