Headshot FAQs

 Why Jim Cairns Photography over other headshot photographers?

 Choosing your wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions you will make while planning your wedding. This decision should not be taken lightly and I am truly honored to be part of your day!

Who would need a headshot?

Anyone looking to further their career, market themselves, have an about me page, aspiring or seasoned actors and models. If you are looking to promote yourself for your next big break- then a professional headshot is a good option for you.

 How long do headshot sessions last?

 Headshot sessions are quick and painless. We do arrive well ahead of time to set up our mobile studio. But depending on each client’s needs and the package they select- time can vary. But it is not a long and drawn out process to have a headshot taken.

 What should I wear?

 So we can help everyone out on an individual basis. Actors and models may be required to wear certain color clothing or types of outfits by the agencies they are working through. For corporate and business headshots- your company may have a certain standard in mind. One good rule to follow- while a bit cliché- dress for the job you want, not the job you have.  A lot of our clients choose to wear blazers, dress suits and button downs- but it does vary from industry to industry.

 I have no idea how to pose, will that matter?

Nope! You don’t have to know how to pose yourself! Our company has been working with corporations and talent for many years and has finely tuned our skills in posing clients. You will be in very good hands with Jim Cairns Photography and we will make sure you look your very best.

Should I wear any jewelry?

I always recommend if you do want to wear jewelry, that it is simple and not distracting. The focus of your headshot session is you. You will hear me say this a lot, but “less is more.”
