300+ ★★★★★ TESTIMONIALS ACROSS MULTIPLE PLATFORMS

I had the best experience ever with Stephen for a head shot session. I currently work at Hair Goddess Salon and Spa and our amazing boss booked our work team head shots with lunar studios. They made us feel welcomed from the second we walked in the door and he did an amazing job at making me feel comfortable, which believe it or not is a very hard thing to do when you have studio lights in your face and are a nervous person already when getting photos taken of you like I am. He made me laugh and brought out my personality which is all you could ever ask for when getting head shots taken especially for promotional business reasons. I will forever recommend them to everyone for all of their photography needs! I also love that they are a small business owned and run by husband and wife so everything they do is personal and it shows that they truly love what they do!

I came to Lunar Studio to get a headshot, probably the last headshot of my career and I wanted it to look good. I was gearing up for a painful experience as I had a headshot done previously and I felt I looked terrible. Well I decided to go all out. Got my hair and makeup done which was awesome. I was still expecting to hopefully find 1 shot that I could live with. Instead, I had to find THE ONE that I like out of ALL THE ONES that I liked!!! They were so easy and fun to work with and lent their choice expertise where needed, (because, trust me, you will need their help narrowing down out of all the choices you have). I wouldn't recommend anyone else to get a headshot from, especially if you are dreading the process and/or looking for something really special!!! Stephen and Samantha are it!!!

What an amazing experience with Lunar Studio! Stephen and Samantha are true professionals but also so fun and lighthearted that you can’t help but smile. Which is exactly what you want for a headshot session! They put you at ease and bring out the best in you to create professional, relatable images. Thank you!

I recently had headshots done at Lunar Studio, and I would absolutely do it again! They were welcoming and inviting from the moment I arrived. They walked me through what to expect before, during, and immediately following my shoot. Delaney nailed the hair and makeup, and Stephen helped me with posing and various techniques while in front of the camera to ensure I was comfortable and getting the most from the experience. As a result of their excellent services, I have a fabulous headshot that screams confidence. Many thanks to the team at Lunar Studio

Let's Chat!

What is a headshot?

A headshot session is exactly as it sounds. They are taken from the chest up. A headshot is all about being up close and personal, creating an image that inspires trust and confidence in your future clients when hiring you. If you are looking for a branding session, click here.

How do your headshot sessions work?

If you choose to utilize our professional hair and makeup services or men’s grooming services, your session will start in the studio with our highly trained team. Once they have completed their job to your satisfaction, we will look over the wardrobe options you’ve brought with you and select what we think will work best; this can include multiple outfit changes. During your session, Stephen will coach and pose you the entire time, showing you different techniques to create the most natural, confident images we can possibly produce. Stephen will also study your face and expressions to photograph you from the best possible angles. After we have completed a set, Stephen will have you view his computer so you can see what we are capturing. This allows for us to make any adjustments you would like to make sure we are capturing exactly what you are looking for.

Is professional hair and makeup included?

It is not included but is highly encouraged! Our team is trained in the type of professional makeup brands and techniques that work best with our lighting to ensure that you do not look washed out nor overdone.

What should I wear?

Our top priority is that you love what you’re in! We do have some key guidelines for you to follow. We highly recommend avoiding sleeveless options and anything with busy patterns (avoid stripes, polka dots, etc.). You will also want to avoid bright colors that distract from you. For women, we recommend keeping jewelry to a minimum and avoiding anything chunky. If you’re in the corporate world, we recommend blazers or cardigans with  higher necklines. For men, we recommend bringing in a variety of blazer/jacket, shirt, and tie combos. This is a great opportunity to go shopping! We recommend leaving the tags on in case we do not use certain pieces and you would like to return them. We have a steamer in the studio and can easily de-wrinkle your clothing.

Will I have my choice of backgrounds and locations?

Yes, we offer several different in-studio and digital backdrop options. We can also speciality order a backdrop for businesses looking to have their own unique style. For locations, we will discuss the different options we can offer and if you have a location in mind. We have a portable studio option and can travel to just about anywhere!

When will I get to view my images and how will I receive the final product?

At the end of your session, we will review your images to make your final selections. We will guide you in selecting your most authentic portraits and discuss editing considerations. Once final retouching has been completed you will receive an online gallery with the ability to download your images in web resolution and high resolution. Transparent background versions are available at an additional cost.
