Why this works.

Two to three styled looks

Each session covers multiple looks — typically a beauty close-up, a fashion-forward full-length, and a lifestyle-leaning environmental frame. Looks are mood-boarded together before the shoot.

Magazine-grade retouching

Skin and texture work tuned for full-bleed print or campaign hero use. The retouch is meticulous but stays photographic — never plastic, never airbrushed.

On-set creative direction

Posing, expression, and styling cues throughout the shoot so even a first-time editorial subject leaves with frames that hold up against agency-shot work.

Delivered for use

Files include print-resolution JPEGs, web-optimized versions, vertical Instagram-ready crops, and (on request) a TIFF master per selected image.

Common questions about beauty & fashion headshots.

How much does a beauty and fashion shoot cost in Seattle?

A half-day beauty and fashion session at jodaniphoto starts at $850 and includes 3–4 hours of shooting, two to three styled looks, and 15 fully retouched magazine-grade images delivered within seven business days. Full-day campaign rates and usage licensing are quoted on a per-project basis.

What is the difference between a beauty shoot and a headshot?

A beauty shoot is creative-led: dramatic lighting, multiple looks, full-team production with hair and makeup, and post-production tuned for editorial or campaign use. A headshot is identity-led: a single, honest, well-lit portrait of how a person actually looks. Beauty work is meant to evoke; headshots are meant to identify.

Do you provide hair and makeup?

Yes. HMUA is coordinated through a short list of preferred Seattle and Bellevue artists, billed directly to you (typically $250–$450 per artist for a half-day). For brand campaigns, the photographer-HMUA team is matched to the brand voice ahead of booking.

Can the shoot include both studio and outdoor frames?

Yes. The half-day window is built so a session can split between a studio look (controlled lighting, beauty close-ups) and an outdoor or environmental look (Pioneer Square, Cal Anderson, Discovery Park, or your studio space). Each environment counts as one look in the package.

How does usage and licensing work for brand work?

Personal use of all delivered images is included. For paid advertising, billboards, or extended campaigns, usage licensing is quoted separately based on placements and duration. Most independent brands and designers find the personal-use license is sufficient for organic social, website, lookbooks, and press.
